You have invested a lot of time discussing what to study with family and friends and researching online.
Here are the Six Essential Elements you need to consider before you apply.
- Study a subject that will help you get your dream job. You really don’t want to end up with a big loan and a job that you don’t enjoy.
- Make sure you choose a career where your natural strengths are used. In this way, you will enjoy what you will be doing and you will be great at it.
- Talk to people in the sector you are interested in having a career. It is only by talking to people you will understand what the job really entails, what the things that you need to check are, what challenges you may face.
- If you are passionate about a subject, go for it.
- If you are not passionate about a specific area, study a subject that will increase your employability.
- Take responsibility for your future. You will be the one who will bear the implications of this decision.
The bottom line: whatever you decide to study, you need to become an expert on it if you want to stand out from the crowd.
