Common mistakes students make when choosing a career

Choosing a career determines most of your future, so do not be subjective when making decisions to avoid unfortunate mistakes. Choosing a career is not only suitable for capacity and interests but also needs to be suitable for family economic conditions and future trends.

Here are the common mistakes made by students when choosing a career.

Choose a career according to your family's wishes

Choosing a major according to parents' wishes or studying to follow family tradition is one of the common mistakes made by students. Families often have their own wishes and expectations for their children, such as wanting them to become successful, to become 'grandparents'.

Choosing a major according to the family's wishes can lead to undesirable consequences such as lack of motivation, lack of interest and boredom while studying. Therefore, you should choose a major based on your personal abilities, interests and passions, not on the wishes of your family.

Choose a profession that many people learn

Many of you choose a major based on the criteria of "hot job", or that it is an industry that is easy to apply for, has many job opportunities and high income. But choosing a major just because a "hot" field of study is not always suitable for each person's interests, abilities and goals. It is important that you choose a major based on your own interests, abilities, and career goals.

Therefore, it is necessary to carefully study the field of study that you want to pursue and evaluate your ability. If you feel you are not qualified to pursue that major, reconsider your choice and look for majors that are more suitable to your abilities. 

And you are too interested in a certain industry but do not have the necessary skills and knowledge, you can learn more about that industry, learn more necessary skills and take courses to improve your qualifications. Choosing the right majors for our abilities will help us have the motivation and passion to study, develop our careers and achieve success in the future.

Choosing a major that is not suitable for the family's economic conditions

Choosing a field of study that is not suitable for family finances can make it difficult to cover the cost of studying. To avoid making this mistake, you need to carefully study the cost of studying in your major and make a decision to choose a major based on available finance.
