My Career Dream and My Skills
Just like the previous chapter, chapter 3, title "Identifying Your Interests and Skills," is also very helpful. In this chapter, the author focuses on helping students to discover their skills. Students learn that their skills and the professions they will practice in a future must go hand in hand. This chapter has helped e realize that all the skills that I'm developing in my current job do match my career objectives. I believe that the activities in this chapter allow students to get rid of any doubts regarding their abilities and career choices. As stressed frequently in chapter 3, choosing a career that does not have any relation whatsoever with our personal abilities can be detrimental to our academic and professional development. Thanks to this chapter now I am walking the right educational path. Now I am sure that in the future I will not regret having chosen the career that I am currently pursuing. Againg, this chapter is very helpful for students to understand that pursuing a dream career that does not match our personal abilities can become a nightmare.
Fellow students, I advise you to work on all of the activities in this chapter in order to find out if you are really made for the career you are striving to complete. If you discover that you as as i did, I guarantee you will work harder and do much better at school and even at work.
Hi maria, this is james newell. What is your current work and area of study? Ive always wondered how do people figure out what makes them happy. God forbid I get stuck in a career I think is great only to find out later that it makes me miserable. Sort of like a nurse or a doctor who realizes 10 years in to it that they really dont like blood. Great post
ReplyDeleteI agree with James. It's the worst feeling to pay so much money and dedicate so much of your time to find out the profession makes your life miserable.It is important to find a career that provides a balance so one can life a great life and do a good job at the same time. Unfortunately,it seems that this economy is forcing people to choose a career that isn't affected by the recession but instead a career that will make them happy.
