In ideal cases there should be a relationship between your chosen career path and where you work. For instance if i am trained as a lawyer, i should naturally work in an environment where i can easily put the knowledge of my career to work, say the legal unit/department of a company, a law firm, the court etc I don't have any business being a teller in a bank because the pay is better than what i can get pursuing my career. But what we have mostly especially in Nigeria where i come from is:In my country, your career doesn't determine the job you will end up doing. The government has made schooling as an avenue for getting knowledge on how to read and write and not for making money. It is not a gain saying to see someone who studied chemistry in banks in my country.
In as much as I try to oppose this ideas, my inner mind is telling me that is right. A graduate must know how to blend in all areas and make sure he performs excellently through adaptation to the new role he may find himself or herself.
Whats your thought on this. Do you think career should determine where you will work or a graduate should work well in any place he finds himself.?
