Career Choices Have Alot To Do With Personality

Your personality weighs significantly as a factor that will steer you toward particular careers. Career choices must be based on your mind set and where your heart is. Whenever you start into the work force, your preferences are even more important than your pay. What kind of an individual are you? Are you a people person? Or, would you prefer to be left alone. Are you prominent in your motor skills? Or are you a thinker, rather than a “hands on” person? When you were in primary and secondary schools, did you have a mathematical or scientific mind such as an accountant or chemist? Or were you driven by poetry, grammar, expression and the like? What I am driving at is this—you may learn from research that an engineer makes a great deal of money; but, if your mind is not geared toward technology and new, innovative ideas, money or no money, don’t go down that avenue. Any job that makes you miserable will become a liability and a painful obstacle in your life.

With your help, your students remain open to new career ideas and possibilities. As you work with your students, your students do not make premature career choices or career preparations. For your students, elementary school is a time to build awareness.
