Are you playing with your career?

For healthy life you consult a doctor, for better education and knowledge you depend on your faculty, for legal problems you consult your lawyer but when its a matter of your career you go to a friend or friend's friends or friends brother or any one on street. Why are you so careless about your career which will decide the quality of life you will have in the rest of your life?

Why don't you go to a qualified career counselor who have good knowledge of different career prospects. A good counselor will help you discover what exactly you want in your life. How you can achieve the same remaining within your limitations of merit and finance. Most of these consultants are related to many professional and technical institutions so they will help you in admissions also.

Remember what is good for others may not be good for you. What friends and relatives advise you is generally their personal preferences based on their knowledge and experience. They don't tell you what is best for you. They generally don't take in to account your abilities and weaknesses. They see the entire thing from their perspective not from your perspective. The reason is they are best in some other fields not in career counseling.

Before approaching any career counselor you should ponder over following:

What success means to you?
What kind of life you want for yourself in the rest of your life?
What salary, position, social status you require?
Your weaknesses and strength?
Your merit and financial limitations?
How long you can wail for something to happen in your life?

While selecting a career counselor or academic advisor you should enquire about his/ her qualification and achievements. In the name of career counselor what you mostly get is admission consultants who act as an agent for different institutions and generally make you pay more for not so good institution. Most of them are drop outs of technical institutions or those who failed to get better placement opportunities.
