In earlier days people used to work for the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter. With the passage of time more complex things came into being and with this complexity , came more complexity into the type of work performed by people. With the advent of gadgets people were required for their designing , manufacturing and maintenance. With the increase in complexity of life situations people were required for administration and maintenance of law and order. So, now at this stage, work is not only required for basic tasks of getting food , clothing and shelter but also for more complex tasks such a designing of aircrafts etc.
Today people have a pool of careers to choose from. Choice of career is very important as it affects the whole life of an individual. So, while choosing our career two questions need to be answered:
Following points will guide you to answer these questions for yourself:
Find out for yourself what are your likes and what are your dislikes? What are the areas that interest you?
What are your strengths and what are your weaknesses? Remember ultimately we need to bank on our strengths and not weaknesses.
What is your sense of security? Are you adventurous and risk taking or you yearn for security in life? Would you like to be your own boss or would you be happy following the leader?
NOTE: Remember risk and reward are directly proportional .Greater the risk taking ability greater the rewards and vice a versa.
Where would you like to be in 10 years down the line?
NOTE: Take a look into the career options with objectivity and see where they will lead you? Do they provide with enough challenges and opportunities for desired growth and development in the career graph?
Do you have a hobby where in you would like to spend more of your energy and time and mould it into a career for yourself?
Would you like to work in a fast paced world or would like to do something that moves on a slow pace?
When we choose a particular career, we spend major productive chunk of our daily time in a particular type of environment and we tend to work and think in that way in our normal daily lives too. Thus, in which ever field we work it starts becoming a part of our personality. For example, if the individual is in teaching field he will start teaching and giving instructions at home also. A doctor will behave in a peculiar fashion at home also with a more hygienic way of life.
If in dilemma while taking decision regarding choice of career try talking to people who are already into that career. It may help you.
Some students learn a foreign language for the love of the language, some learn for fun and frolic and some learn for career purpose.
Learning a foreign language can take you places careerwise. Today everything, every field is getting globalised and the world is shrinking.
Lot of multinational companies, have their clients everywhere in the world, while dealing with such clients it gives a competitive edge to the company and finally to the employees if local language of the client with whom they are dealing with is known. For example, if your company has clients in Japan it is very helpful if you know Japanese language because if you go to Japan and you don’t know Japanese it becomes very difficult to communicate with people over there. Similarly, if you are going to Singapore knowledge of Chinese along with English helps.
Moreover, you can look forward to work as teachers , interpreters ,translators or work in diplomatic services or in public relations area . Learning foreign language can also help you find jobs in tourism, airlines and hospitality sectors.
Spanish, French and German have always been high on learning demand. But, now the institutes are teaching several other languages such as Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Finnish , Russian and many more.
While learning a foreign language right coaching and training along with individual calibre matters.
General view is that it is better to opt for a long term courses rather than vacation courses as you can learn more in longer duration courses.
