5. Choosing A Right Career
By: KUNJIKA THAKRAL
Time to make a tough decision But what to do, lots of confusion.
Time to choose an appropriate career
Want to become something different from doctor, engineer.
My life is for my country
I will work hard for its victory This decision will be my own
And my family will always be my backbone.

6. All I need is proper guidance,
So that I need a one, who can take me out of this confusion,
And help me out to make a good decision.
Rest I leave on what Almighty has decided for me,
I will fight with every problem and never flee.
I will prefer a profession full of dignity,
And work on it with my full capability.

7. “Vision
Activity”

8. Direction: Imagine that you had 3 separate lifetimes to live- what would
you do with your time?
Draw/sketch yourself and write about your vision. Don’t limit yourself to
occupational titles or career fields; instead, provide detailed
descriptions of what you’d like to be doing, where you’d like to live,
who you’d like to spend time with, and what special skills, training or
interests you would hope to explore and develop?

9. Sometimes people take any job without thinking about if they like the job.
They learn that there are some tasks they like to do. And there are
other tasks they don’t like to do. Finding a job that has tasks that are
interesting to you will make the job more enjoyable, and you will be
more motivated to keep that job. You will also do a better job and are
more likely to be promoted.
Benefits of matching your interests:
Here are reasons to pick a job that matches your interests:
1. You will be happier doing a job you like (matches your interests than
one you dislike. )
2. Not everything you enjoy doing will provide you with a good income. It
is important to balance what you enjoy, what you are good at (your
skills), and what jobs are available.
3. You may not enjoy every part of your job, but you should enjoy most of
it.
