After completion of your graduation, your ideas changed and that reflected in your career decision as well. Now, you want to pursue a new one rather than your childhood dream career. That's great! Everybody in their lives at one point or other think like this about what they want to become in their future life. And every decision seems to be the final one. Alas! But, it is momentary. However, is it possible to take a right decision about your career at a very young age?

Career is one of the most important choices in everybody's life. Irrespective of the advancedness of the society, people take career decisions while they were young that they want to become an actor/doctor/ engineer/ politician/ etc. All those decisions were depend on the social circumstances/experiences they had faced during their childhood. Once the person gains maturity and his/her education levels improve, the thought process changes and that starts affecting his/her career decisions also. So, the person who has decided to become a pilot at his/her tender age, discards the same after gaining maturity and decides to go after pursuing some other career elsewhere.

Life is full of distractions. There are very few people in the world who achieved what they had decided to achieve in their childhood. Most of the people ponder different careers and still are undecided whether to pursue the same or not. There are a few psychological tests, which helps people to decide which sort of career is good for them. These psychological tests analyze the person's inherent abilities and map the same with those kinds of jobs, which needs the same kind of characteristics to pursue them. Nevertheless, these kinds of tests are available only for few people who can afford them. Overall, people around the world are blind regarding their career choice until they get struck by a good or bad job at some point of their life and once they get the job, they continue the same due to the duties and responsibilities they are expected to fulfill by the society they live-in.

Life is full of good and bad choices. It depends up on people which one they go after. It is not that much easy to crack a career, which interests you. Consider yourself lucky, if at all, that happens in your life. In most of the people's lives, they decide a career to pursue at their young age and start preparing for the same by doing courses to get into their career of choice. But, this world is an amalgamation of many trends. So, after the person has completed all the required courses and is about to join the career of choice, then suddenly, something happens somewhere in this world as recession has struck us now, and the whole plan of pursuing a dream career will become topsy-turvy.

What to do? The only solution to survive in the present scenario is to acquire capability to pursue any kind of career. It is not that you decide that you will pursue only so and so career of your choice. You should be game for what this world decides and offers you at different moments of your life. Acquire yourself all the skills and strategies, learn all the tools in demand, and shed all your fears and prejudices to pursue the career-in-demand.

In summary, the world wants you to pursue the career-in-demand not the career-of-your-choice at this moment. Since aeons, this world preferred the survival-of-the-fittest.
