Career Counseling

Career planning hasn’t helped me at all. I’m serious. It’s an important decision, and I have to make up my mind before January.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I seriously cannot make up my mind. I wish we didn’t have so many options, at least I wouldn’t be soooo confused.

Here’s my list of what I could or want to do:

Aviation: I would have made up my mind about civil aviation if my eyesight wasn’t weak. Its been my dream to fly and this is the closest I can get.

Medicine: I really don’t know if I want to be doctor, my dad wants me to. So, I’ve put it as an option, if I don’t make up my mind, I suppose that’s what I’ll do, though it isn’t exactly what I want.

Journalism: I’m good at writing and hat what compels e to put this in the list. Its interesting, but still not exactly what I want. Its like working behind the scenes, just your name in the paper… Being a correspondent does get you on TV, but not I want.

Psychology: I’m interested in it, but it doesn’t exactly have a bright future, not too much pay, not exactly what I want.

Photographer: I like it, but I can’t do it for too long, not too many opportunities.

I really wish my eyesight wasn’t weak. I would have done something I really want. Nice pay, I could have been the youngest woman pilot in India for a year at least…. *sniff*, my dreams are shattered….. Being a doctor isn’t what I want, I don’t think I could live through a surgery .I would have done psychology, but I want to do something better, there isn’t exactly a great demand for psychologists or high posts for them. Being a photographer is ok, but I like it more as a hobby.

Oh by the way… by the career planning thing, I’m assertive and in arena, which is quite unlike me, I am quite quiet.

In the learning style inventory, I got 43 points in column A, as an accommodator. It suggests a career in: management, business, govt. services, defence ,banking, public admin., politics etc… I don’t want to anything in any of these fields. I wonder if these group counseling sessions ever helped anyone……

I want to do something which has good pay and something I truly like. It shouldn’t be too demanding of me and if possible, allow me to travel a lot. Something which has a lot of opportunities and allows promotion, allows you to go to the highest level
