How to choose your professional future without making mistakes

Many times as children we have an idea of ​​what we want to be when we grow up. But at that age when our concerns only have to do with homework in mathematics, language, with getting good grades ... Maybe we are not being entirely objective. Obviously, this lack of objectivity is explained by the fact that we are not yet in the appropriate maturational stage, just as we have not experienced many other things prior and important to that decision..

But with this article what I intend is to make all those young people who are about to start a university career, a higher degree of professional training or anything else; that the most important thing before making a decision is to think about what would make you happy to do every day.

It is essential and totally recommended when making such an important decision, not to get carried away by the opinions of others. And by "others" we understand all those people who do not agree with your decision and try to propose the one that they believe will be appropriate..

Such is the case of many parents that once their children have informed them that they have made the decision that they do not want to pursue a career, they become frustrated or think that this is why they are less smart and intelligent than others. It is at that moment, when they are progressively convinced, trying to make them see the advantages of a university career with which they do not feel identified.

To all of you I tell you that this is a very serious mistake.

You just have to think that work is one of the things in which you are going to invest more time in the future. Would it be comfortable and healthy to be working for eight hours a day all your life on something that you do not like? it would undoubtedly be something totally exhausting and frustrating at the same time.

Next, we are going to point out some of the inconveniences that can occur if the person does not choose their work profession with their heart, but rather they do so guided by the opinion of others, although those others are their reference figures..

• You probably feel a lot of sadness when registering, thinking that you are making the wrong decision but the great fear of failing others prevents you from changing it.
• You will feel frustration in each class you attend, thinking that it is by obligation.
• You will be more likely to experience a high level of stress, which could lead to academic failure.
• When you finally graduate, getting up to go to work every day would become a world..
• You could be more prone to Burn Out Syndrome.
• You would overflow all that frustration with the people who would least deserve it.

In conclusion, you would be a victim all your life of a bad decision.

But what if you choose your profession with your heart?

• You will probably be happy studying something you like.
• You will enjoy learning each subject and with your own evolution.
• You will know that you made the right decision because it is the one that makes you happy every day despite the small difficulties that may be encountered..
• Possibly your academic performance will be much more productive and you will reap better fruits.
• When you have to work for eight hours, the time will pass sooner if you do it in something that you are passionate about and with which you feel fulfilled..

With all this, I do not want to say that on certain occasions it is not good to ask for the advice or opinion of all those people who love us and who have always supported us as parents and other family members tend to be. I simply encourage you to have the last word on your professional future to be yours, as that will also be a great sign of autonomy and independence..

Remember that phrase that said: Choose a job that you like and you will not have to work in your life.
