The term ‘career’ has its roots in the Latin word – ‘carrera’ which literally means race. The pressure is increasing on our youth to make career choices without looking at dreams, aspirations and aptitude.
Unlike earlier, when career options were limited, today a plethora of potential professions are available. Yet, young students are being conditioned to attach value to few careers. Worse, they are being discouraged from pursuing childhood dreams.
Very few have the personal courage or the support to change tracks midway in
their academic education. Too much pressure is generated by narrowing on select
few career options. And most such career choices are at the cost of the real
career – our life!
We must not distance ourselves from real living. Career is, after all, the progress of the course of life. Living is beyond so-called status and handsome remunerations. We need to examine whether our careers will permit us to have the time for the real needs of our life – family, community, the environment.
Don’t get careered by choice strife
Choose the priority career of ‘life’!
