How Covid has Affected Student Career Choices | Chanderlekha Bazaz |

Career choices are truly challenging as the decision you make has a great impact on all the aspects of your life. Choices are generally conditioned by many factors such as education background, personal values, social beliefs, financial aspects and geographical factors but in the end, your own set of values has the key role and the rest of these factors influence more or less this set of values.

A wise career choice might be understood as a decision that has been taken upon a realistic filtering of all career options and personal competencies generally required for a particular job opening. It results in truly valuable expertise and personal satisfaction. Yet, career choices are not always positioned on this positive and happy side, as many persons who have pursued a certain career path have realized that they were all wrong and day-to-day job could not fulfill their expectations.

However, career choice is definitely a tough decision but also a threshold that might be easily overcome as long as we follow some basic steps or guidelines. First of all, we should assess objectively our real abilities and see whether they match all job requirements so that we can avoid a huge and self-destroying gap between our expectations and the real demands. 

In addition to this aspect, we need to assess our chances to start a certain career. Some jobs have very rigorous requirements and generally, our education level and the sphere of interest control significantly our chances.

In summary, our choice in terms of career governs our lives, therefore, we need to make the efforts to make the best decision.
