It is lack of Opportunities or we have wrong receptive

Today, many people plan their careers using trial and error methods that
lack proper focus and tangible goals. This situation often leads to a loss
in terms of opportunity, that would be vital for ones career.

It is imperative that we need to plan our career more effectively. Most of
the time, career decisions are taken, based on the following parameters:

Financial Reasons:

Choosing a job based upon lucrative monetary benefits. This could be because
of financial situation at home or because of the myth that once you have
money other things can be bought or higher salary is an index for higher
social prestige.

Locational Reasons:

Taking up a job to be at a particular place for emotional reasons, could be
because the person does not want to stay away from his family, friends and
relatives.

Security Reasons:

Taking up a job for security reasons to avoid risks.

Going Abroad:

Certain jobs and courses facilitate easy trips abroad and rake in a lot of
money. This we call it the IT-phenomena

Qualification Trap:

People are also of the belief that the work you do should be based on the
degree you have earned. So, if a person is creative and good in designing
clothes she would still be teaching in a college or school rather than
taking up her hobby as her profession purely because she had earned a degree
in teaching.


For all these and several other ones we find many people pursuing their jobs
with lot of resentment and in consequence would be under a lot of stress.

The famous scientist Thomas Alva Edison who used to work 18 hours a day once
said, "I never worked ..I only played"

The important thing in selecting a job is that you should be able to enjoy
what you are doing. If you are able to achieve this, you would be able to
cherish the amount of time you spend on your job.

Let us go in a systematic manner in making a right career decision.
