Any professional career is a long one. To say the truth, in a professional life, it is a road ahead for forty two years. If you start working for twenty three years, until the retirement age of sixty five, you are forty two years old to build a successful career for yourself.

During this long period of time, you can make good as well as less good decisions as you wish. The choice is yours. In professional life, speed and quality are not awarded.

You do not have to focus on being successful immediately, because that is not possible, but on building a successful career that lasts for forty two years.

Most of the youth in our clan are taking a college course for a career. The IT courses are the most popular but there are also other courses they are taking like nursing and even veterinary medicine. I always prefer a professional career. I have a niece who is a doctor and one is a physical therapist. They earn good money aside from having the respect of the people. But I have to admit that an entrepreneur has the better chances of getting rich than one who has a professional career whose earnings are somewhat limited. If you want money then go for business.
