Career choice challenges

                                 
                                       

                                         
                                                 
Choosing a career path starts in the secondary schools.Therefore, to assist the young ones in deciding their future career path, career guidance, assessment and counseling must be given to students consistently to enable them choose the appropriate subjects for their chosen courses.
Assessment, guidance and counseling should be kept simple otherwise it adds confusion to the challenge.
Things to consider TRUTHFULLY in making that all important choice include;
1.What are your characteristics and values 2. What are your areas of interests. 3. What subjects do you excel in. 4. Are your favorite subjects science stream or arts stream. 5. What are your strengths and weaknesses. 6. Be honest to yourself about your level of intelligence. 7. What are your career goals. 8. What skills do you have. 9. What's your vision? Where do you see yourself in five years, ten years time? 10. Have a clear view of your abilities, limitations and passion.
Most importantly, it's your life, not your mother's, not your father's. They can advice and guide you but the decision is yours to make.
