What is It

What is Career?

Career is one of the most important aspects which all of us are concerned
about in our entire life. According to Advance Learner’s Dictionary, career means a
profession or occupation giving us multitudes of opportunities for promotion.
Occupation means a job or an employment. It helps us to earn a livelihood or
profession. It also means paid occupation, especially one that requires advanced
education and training, e.g. architecture, law, engineering or medicine, etc. So a
career is not simply a job, an employment to earn a livelihood.
A job is a certain position an individual hold doing specific duties. For
example, if you would look closely at the job of a lawyer, you can say that a lawyer’s
job is working as an associate in X Law Firm.
A job or profession or an employment can be called a career only when it
gives opportunity for progress and advancement as human needs gradually
changing. Moreover, a job or employment to be called as a career must offer
adequate opportunities to satisfy or meet those changing needs. Thus, a job or
profession must be dynamic enough to fulfil one’s aspirations or ambitions before
calling it a career in real terms.

Factors to Consider in Choosing Future Career
Intelligence
• Intelligence comprises your I.Q., Social Intelligence and
Emotional Intelligence (E.Q.). The Total intelligence is more important
to be successful in life and career than simply having a high I.Q. There
are many instances where an academically brilliant executive,
considered a genius in his field but had failed miserably in his career.
He failed because he did not have required social intelligence and
emotional stability.
Personality
• A person may be an Introvert or Extrovert. One can be a Dominating
personality or Submissive personality. If you are an Introvert, you
should not select a career that needs people with Extrovert nature.
You may be too social or you prefer to be lonesome to do creative
work. Only you can judge your personality and choose what is best for
you. So always give to your personality factor while deciding on your
future career.
Interest
• All work is hard unless you care for it, show interest and have passion
in it. You may have the ability, aptitude, financial backing or any other
support but if interest is absent it is no use. However, it must also be
said that too much interest towards an occupation does not
guarantee success in that field if other factors are also considered.
Special Aptitudes
• If one is good at art, it would be really miserable for him to take up a
career where he has to work in a machine shop.
Physique
• All jobs make varying degree of physical activities and demands. The
choice of a career should be made after carefully considering all the
relevant facts associated with it. Hence, a man with a poor health and
heart problem should not engage in a career in the mountain brigade
of the army.
Sex
• As perceived men and women are socially and legally equal, but nature
has given them different physique and capabilities too. Some careers
are more well- suited to men than women. Consequently, this factor
should also be kept in mind while choosing a career. Some careers
need an early entry to be successful for this may only result to
frustration
