How did you decide what career or profession to pursue? What / who influenced those decisions?

Career or profession remain with us throughout our lives, so the decision of choosing one is very important and needs a careful deliberation and exhaustive process to narrow down to the right choice. Some major factors which govern this decision are: Interest : A lot has been written and made in interest. The two major things while dealing with interests are: Interest keeps on changing as per your situations. You need to narrow down to interests which can be monetized or commercialized. Aptitude: In Indian context Aptitude is perhaps the most underrated and abused term. We train students for writing the aptitude tests ! Which is exactly the opposite of what is required. TRAINING or COACHING for aptitude tests like JEE Mains & CAT etc. Actually defeats the very purpose of these tests. The institutions need the natural ability not the trained robots for learning. Market scenario: Most of the jobs which are present today will be wiped out by changing technologies in next 15 years. This makes it very important to SEE if the industry and kind of job roles what you are training for have their shelf life left or not. Family background: Like it or not, call it nepotism or whatever term you can think off. Family background plays a vital role in your career decision. More importantly when the parents are professionals. There are millions of examples in current times and throughout the history where the progeny usually takes the legacy careers. More pronounced in Defense personnel, doctors. Lawyers, CAs, Actors, Music performers, activists, politicians etc. Your inspirations: You need to SEE what kind of people, what kind organizations, what kind of qualities in people etc. Inspire you. This may help you in zero in into your career choice. Your time spending habits: How do you spend your time? Is it with some gadgets? Or may be tinkering with some machines? Or working on some musical instruments? Or creating some designs? Or working on kitchen? Etc. All your time spending habits subconsciously take you to your career choice. Hope this helps DVD.
