1. Following trends:– Trending jobs may not be the right fit for you.

2. Blindly copying:– Choosing a career just because investment bankers or software developers make a lot of money and have a great future.

3.Basing decisions on friends:– Choosing a career path primarily because your friends are pursuing it. Instead of evaluating your own interests, skills, and passions, you make decisions based on the choices your friends are making.

4. Choosing a career to impress others:– Picking a career solely to impress others involves choosing based on social status rather than personal fulfillment or genuine interest.

What Can you do ? 🤷‍♂️

👉🏼Ask yourself:

  • Are you passionate enough to keep going even when it’s getting tough.
  • Does your strength, working style, personality type, and skills align with that career?
  • Does the work genuinely excites you?
  • Are you willing to commit the necessary time and effort?
  • Do you know challenges and ugly part of that career? And can you handle the difficult aspects and challenges of that career?

The path to a fulfilling career lies in authenticity and self-reflection.
