What's your dream job?
Not a lot of people pay attention to their personality while choosing career but then they end up having a job or a career which they hate.
Hence it is extremely important to pick a career which suits the best to your personality.
Do you like to talk to a lot of people or do you prefer to be alone ?
Do you like sitting in front of the computer all day or do you like to be in the outdoors?
There are always some personality traits a person has, some likes public speaking, some like spending time alone, some like to travel a lot.
Depending on what your personality trait is, you may choose your career.
Like to travel a lot ? You may choose to be a travel agent or setup a travel company.
Like to stay at home all day and like tech? You can be a freelance developer.
Like engineering but also like to spend time outside and interact with people? You can be a civil engineer.
2. Don’t copy someone else:
When I was a kid, I want to be a real estate developer.
I had interest in computers but still I wanted to get into real estate because I saw my uncle go from rags to riches and I thought I should follow the same approach so that I can get rich.
However, it was the worst thing I ever thought because not every person has the same traits and the same personality.
Being a real estate developer needs a lot of traits like courage, ability to raise capital, manage workers and labourers etc and a lot more and all of those traits were missing in me.
Being a real estate developer needs you to be an extroverted person with a personality which has a bit of dominance and my uncle surely had that.
He also had the courage to face any legal issues in the construction process even when there was a huge amount of money involved.
Comparing that to my personality, it was completely opposite. I am an extremely introverted person, so much that I like to live a private life where I don’t have to talk to anyone else except for my friends and family.
3. Money is never an issue:
I have a friend who works as a developer, also makes a decent amount of money at his job but yet hates working at a desk job.
Im sure you will see a lot of people do something which they don’t absolutely like just for the sake of money.
However, understand that life is not all about money. If you like your job and if you make money then thats all fine but if you are dosing something which you hate and you are doing it just for the money then its terrible.
There is money in every domain and every career you can think of.
Just because we hear the news that IT companies pay a huge load of money to engineers does not mean other domains do not pay well.
There are also plenty of careers which are enjoyable and pay a lot more than the IT domain.
For example, the top fitness trainers , travel bloggers make 10 times more money than the highest paid engineer.
If you are decent at coding, but your passion is fitness you are more likely to be the best in fitness and make more money as a fitness expert than being a mediocre developer.
4. Don’t give an F about what other people think:
Many people don’t do what they like to do just because they are too afraid to face the criticism that comes from other people.
Most people literally compromise on their dreams and goals just because they are too afraid thinking what others might think of they choose an unconventional career path.
The truth however is people will criticise you no matter what.
If you take up an IT job, people will say he is so desperate for money that he works like a slave.
If you choose to be a writer, people will say that you became a writer just because you were not getting any other job.
If you become a fitness expert, people will say you sell steroids.
The worst thing you can do in your life is to let other strangers influence your career path.
There will always be a group of people who will criticise you even if you become a saint.
