I wonder if this is the career for me

  
You chose it: It worse when you confused. (sauce: http://www.slapusidethead.com/)

Have you ever felt like you are in the wrong field, wrong career? Many of us feel like that especially when things go wrong within the workplace or when we are stressed. Well it all goes back to how you chose your career. Did you choose it because it has always been what you wanted to do or because you were forced to. Is it because it was a second choice or was it because you had no option but to study?

Some say a job is different from a career because, a career is the one that you studied for and a job is the work you do just to make a living, what do you say?


One may feel bored or feel like quitting their job because deep down they know that it is not what they wanted to do. The most downside about being in the wrong career is when you start showing. There are nurses for example who are supposed to take care of patients but do not exactly do that, they in fact treat them badly. There are cashiers who you can see right from their facial expression that even if you did not from buy from their shop it would not matter. Then you get to ask yourself why did he/she choose this career if he/she is going to be this rude. A pretend-smile will do!

You have to be careful because what you do in the company or for the company reflects the company’s image. Remember to communicate well at all times because you going to definitely need a reference once you move on.

There is a truck driver who made three accidents and got fired after the third incident, read more. There are so many famous people, so to speak who made bad publicity stunts or were rude to the media. Would you now say that being in a bad mood made you sarcastic or stubborn within your career?  Do you take the blame to the customer and say “She’s the one who was ungrateful for my assistance.”Guidelines on choosing the right career
There is a bright side to being in the ‘supposedly’ wrong career though. You sometimes get to discover your inner-self. Something that you did not know existed in you. You end up discovering that this is actually what you want to do. You end up loving your job.
