Career Choice

What is your career? Did you choose your own career or its a project of your family? Did you chose your career early enough? Most of you do not know their career, or they are doing a wrong one.
85% of form four students do not know exactly what they intend to do or be after their K.C.S.E examinations are released. Most of them if asked they will tell you "i want to be an engineer, doctor, pilot, accountant etc. Most of those who give out these answers are B and C materials, that cant happen, never.

A fact still remains that if you cant score an A in your final form four exams you cant be a doctor or an engineer. Face the reality that if you are a B material you ought to be positive minded about it, because you are good at something an A material student is not.

When i joined campus i wanted to be an accountant at the end of it all beacuse i did Bcom, but guess what i ended up doing what i love most right now(Business Infomation Systems). BIS is one of the options of Bcom but just because many of the Bcom first years think that the degree is all about Marketing, Finance and Accounting, and I was a real victim. I dont want you to lie there. What do you love doing? Where do you spend you free time most. I am not talking about visiting friends, watching movies or singing: I mean something like designing a photo to upload to a social site or tryng to make out worn out electronics. This can lead you to be a graphical designer and a mechanical engineer respectively, all you have to do is to stop being negative minded about other careers. Just as you think about becoming a pilot or a doctor.... try thinking outside the box positively i.e. becoming a teacher, an entrepreneur, a vetinary officer, a carpenter etc. This will give you a broader way to get into knowing your real career.
