Diverse range of career has been budded in these couple of decades. If you are efficient enough to pursue a career you can do well if your research work is proper. Before hopping on to any decision, it is must that you should know bit and byte about each and every field of interest. Not every millionaire is Doctor or an Engineer, But also a musician or a sports person holds the highest net worth. That is up to you what you choose, CHOOSE WISELY!
  
• MARK YOUR AREA OF INTEREST : Choosing the stream is on the basis of your interest. For Example: You are superlative soccer player and you choose to study science for putting ER. before your name. This wrong decision can decline your career graph. Few people make this mistake by becoming money minded, they ignores their interest. Job is about doing what you like. Considering your Interesting while choosing your career is a must to do factor.
  
• STOP COPYING YOUR FRIENDS: Imitating friends has become one of the barrier these days. Students are bounding themselves in order to their friends capabilities. They are choosing the career opportunities which their friends have accepted. They rather know about their skill set and get a better option to pursue, but they gets distracted. Each and every individual holds a different talent and capability. Copying can only make you equal but original can help you to stand out as better.
  
• FAMILY PRESSURE CAN BE A DISASTER : Family plays a vital role in choosing the right career path for you. But, if you think that they are advising you something which is not up to your expectations and reality , than you should not choose it. For Example: You have good hold in Economics and you parents wants you to learn chemistry or pursue the same, you can say a clear no! Family do have expectations and they can be opinionated about the course you pursue, but if it matches to your reality, then choose it.
  
• EXPECTATION SHOULD NEVER RULE YOUR FUTURE : Everyone has expectations and assumption about you and this is general. But it is not compulsory that you choose everything by keeping those assumptions and expectation in mind. For Example : You belongs to a family where, your father is doctor, your elder brother is doctor and they are expecting that you will also become a doctor. But, you wants to pursue career in Law and become a Lawyer. As you see a great scope of your skill set executed and efficiently used over there. Then don’t compromise your Pros on the basis of family expectation and rather choose to be a Lawyer.
  
• PROFESSIONAL HELP ALWAYS WORK : There is nothing bad if you appoint a Career counselor or Advisor for your help. By discussing lots of thing with them, they share their view points and that will help you to get an easy way to break the ice and reach your destination. Seeking professional help can also help you to know yourself better . You will get a chance to see what is good and bad about it and you. What are the upcoming challenges you will be facing in the time to come. How difficult will be the journey and hoe important is it for you to be there. Counselor can help you with different activities and program that can help you.
