Career choice is a very fundamental and important part of the life of any individual and it doesn't begin when you start working. You pave the way for your career since from the grass roots when you choose to either school or join a trade or anything.

Academically speaking, since almost everyone has a career that needs and require that he or she follows the academic pathway, the journey of career choice starts from when kids see and pick interest in a particular field.

There are some things that I have seen which can be helpful to younger generations when it comes to the aspect of career choice.

✓ Your career choice must be a product of thoughtful decision, not influenced majorly by any third party. You must never allow your career choice to be influenced by anyone at all.

✓ Choose a career that is viable. You can know this from research using the various platforms available. Ask from people and also search on the net, read in journals and news and see which career have huge roles to play in the current world.

✓ Moreso, choose the career that is best for you. Your passion should be a drive in your choice of career.
