Mistakes made on the career choice
Part 2

• Work for free

This statement is also a part of the previous one where the advice is for you to make a choice that will complement your own tastes and believes to the most of your own abilities. But if you do not get paid you will not be able to repay that student loan that you had to apply for in order to continue your education and you will not be able to form a family and get all the things that you are dreaming of like a nice house, or a house at the beach.

Therefore, you need to determine what the working market for that particular career choice is; and since you are doing research on that, look on the growing potential of your choices. If you are to be your own boss, the chances of growth lie in the possibility that you make your business a franchise or that you are able to handle as much employees as possible making a bug business but not a franchise. On the other hand, if you are to be an employee, how big can your growth expectations be? If there is not much room to grow, then you might be wise in considering and looking into alternative options.

Maybe you are considering the opportunity to get specialized on a particular subject or area of your career choice, take in consideration the working market of that specialty and the number of years that you will be required to invest in that. Take also into consideration the possibilities that you as any other human will have to work and study at the same time, or will you be providing for your family with the second student loan that you get or is your spouse providing while you study? If you are a dependant student, will your parents provide for you while you make this specialty? Will you be going overseas to finish the specialty and if so, what will you be doing to provide for your own sustenance and that of your family.

The considerations are many and each one has to be made carefully before making any decisions that will naturally affect your life and the life of those who are near you. Remember that, in order to make the adequate decision in terms of your career choice there are a few pointers that you could follow.

• Check the working market
• Verify the growth potential in the profession as well as the specialization.
• Analyze if you will be sufficiently contempt with just the university or if you would like a specialty
• Calculate how much time and money will it consume out of you to take the specialty
• Determine the source from which the money that you require will come and what impact will have on your household income.
