What is believed to be a right career choice for one person, might not work so effectively for another. There are various parameters that come into play while choosing a career. There are doubts, misconceptions and mistakes that one makes along the way while hunting for the career that one loves to do everyday and also make money out of. Choosing a career is definitely not like a buying a fashion apparel at your whim.Because most of the times these fashion apparels are too tight or heavy to even breath and the best fits can be at best only carry them for an hour or two for quintessential occasions.
Choosing a career is like finding the comfortable clothes that get you through the entire day everyday.Some of the best movies that bring out the passion in understanding the career paths that, personally for me are, “Ratatouille, In Pursuit of Happiness, Game Plan, The Terminal, Forrest Grump, The Intern, The Devil Wears Prada, Catch Me if You Can, The Kung Fu Panda, Brave, Sister Act, etc.,”

Since eons, this aspect has been something of a debate that whether, hobby plays any role or paves way in choosing a career.
However, it has to be understood that, before reading further, circumstances and situations and conditions play a role in this aspect. The beautiful thing is that in the modern era where technology and cross culturing is very high and borders are being erased in a sense with the sophistication that is available, there are many careers available to choose from.
Now, “Students spend time, on their interests and hobbies after school hours. It may not remain as a hobby when they grow up.” This particular sentence is true to an extent. In this rat race of life, importance or stress is being given to the marks gained on papers but not for the knowledge of the student. This holds true for 65%-70% of the students in India.
Now, a hobby can be of a temporary basis of a very short range or a mid range time length and the second one a long range, meaning, the hobby is not going to change till a very long time even if the individual chooses something else as the career path.
The people (Teacher, Friends, Parents, Relatives, Cousins and some times strangers) involved with the individual and also the interest on the hobby of the individual involved combined together or separated differently plays a role of making way for the career choice.
Now, what has to be understood is how much the child is interested in a hobby to make a career out of it and second how much the child is ready to fight for what he believes in of making his hobby as a career. This happens in 3 stages:
Interest = This the first thing or the base to the other 2 things needed. By having the interest to make a career out of the hobby the individual is interested; the person will be equipped with looking at things from a different perspective or viewing from heart. This gives the individual a chance to portray feelings and emotions of the hobby he/she likes into thousand words. This interest gives them a chance to play with the skills and understand that beauty is not only in the bigger things but also in the lesser things too.
Hobby = This makes way or takes on the pathway for the individual to be into the career of his choiced hobby. This brings the ability or abilities that are needed by the individual to be so. This gives the individual to explore and expand the borders and horizons of making his hobby into the career. In this stage the knowledge of being such, expands and the individual starts portraying the talent ranging from, to an extent to advancing to artistic in nature.
Passion = This is the ultimate thing or step to happen i believe just as a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. This is the stage where individual becomes the master of the trade of his hobby which he is very passionate about. There are many technical and academical aspects that comes into culmination that starts in the 2nd step for the individual. Mentoring, Tutoring and sometimes Coaching also plays a key role in this aspect.
Therefore, i personally feel like to summarise that, “Treasure is, where the Heart is.”
I have always believed that an interest becomes a hobby and a hobby becomes a passion under certain situations and conditions and circumstances.

I have always believed that an interest becomes a hobby and a hobby becomes a passion under certain situations and conditions and circumstances. Many a times we are destined to become of what we are passionate about but certain times we are forced to choose to be or become different from what we are passionate about.
It has always been my observance that the skills we learned out of our passion gets adapted to the different career choices we had had to choose, very intricately. This aspect is always concurrent to the choices we come across.
Therefore, i personally like to conclude that interest and passion is always playing a key role in trying to define the career of the individual.

I personally believe that to become a “Travel and Wildlife Photographer” 3 things are of quintessential nature.
Interest = This the first thing or the base to the other 2 things needed. By having the interest to become the said above; the person will be equipped with looking at things from a different perspective or viewing from heart. This gives the individual a chance to portray feelings and emotions of thousand words of a place or thing in a single frame. This interest gives them a chance to play with the photography skills and understand that beauty is not only in the bigger things but also in the lesser things too.
Hobby = This makes way or takes on the pathway for the individual to become a “Travel and Wildlife Photographer.” This brings the ability or abilities that are needed by the individual to be so. This gives the individual to explore and expand the borders and horizons of being a “Travel and Wildlife Photographer.”In this stage the knowledge of being such, expands and the individual starts portraying the talent ranging from, to an extent to advancing to artistic in nature.
Passion = This is the ultimate thing or step to happen i believe just as a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. This is the stage where individual becomes the master of this trade. There are many technical and academical aspects that comes into culmination that starts in the 2nd step for the individual.

However i also feel that though necessary but not all the time maybe true, but, the steps needn’t be starting at a very young age. Age is just a number for this particular profession.

I have always felt that choosing a right college for a good education and bright career is like finding the best fit or brand that suits us much better and still make us feel comfortable. But alas; the importance that is given to make us look sophisticated in public is not given to make a choice in choosing the right fit for our education and career.
One who is very keen on having the best of both worlds, i believe will try also to find the best college that fits him/her. it is of my opinion that one who needs to find the right college will go through these 3 steps.
Coordination = Here the individual tries to analyse his/her strengths (more or less like SWOT Analysis). Once done, the individual tries to find out about various choice of colleges available through various sources like senior interactions, Day Tours, Faculty Session & Guidance, Public Opinion, Ratings & Reviews, Parents’ Choice, Peer Group Choices, College popularity and so on and so forth. This whole analysis leads to the 2nd step.
Combination = Now the individual will have enough analysis to go over to make his/her SWOT Analysis and his findings to put together to understand where the choice of his/her college stands or what college would be best fit as per the individual’s requirements and availabilities and capabilities all 3 together included. This leads to the last step.
Culmination = Now the individual will have the list of top 3 or 5 or may be 7 even at times, the list of best colleges according to the above steps the individual has gone through. Now comes the aspect of “Fees and Scholarships” (even though these 2 play an important role in the previous steps too, i personally feel that an individual who has set his/hers focus and goals on finding the best fit of college for future career and growth will try and find a way to overcome it until the last minute) which play a key role in eliminating or holding the choice of college.
Therefore to summarise on the whole, “Seekers are the Finders and Finders will be the Keepers of the future.”
I personally have always felt that, Life itself is a never ending career from the moment we are born till the moment we die.

I personally have always felt that, Life itself is a never ending career from the moment we are born till the moment we die. We work in one form or other.
so therefore, wanting to work after retirement is a good thing. Now, comes the aspects of what choices do they have, if they want to work after retirement.
The first and the foremost thing to remember is how physically fit is the person who is willing to work after retirement.
The second essential thing to understand is what career choices do they have and how personally they are interested or passionate to be into those careers. (For example; A man wanting to go into culinary arts has to undergo different set of courses than a man wanting to choose being a categorised cuisinary. In both the instances, passion and indulgence plays the same role but depth of commitment varies.)
The third thing of order to think of is the essence of acknowledging the physical activity in accordance to the choice of career.
So coming to the career choices after retirement a few to mention are:
Freelance Consultant.
Driver
Chef
Tour Concierge
House/Pet Sitter
Closet Makers
Library/Veterinary/Medical Assistant
Tutoring/Mentoring
Hence to summarise, There are always never ending jobs throughout the life time a person can choose from.
I personally believe that a career switch can happen to anyone and everyone at any given point of time in their life.

I personally believe that a career switch can happen to anyone and everyone at any given point of time in their life. As we all know that “Change is Constant;” it is evident everywhere and so is it in the career life of a human being.
what one has to understand when going through the career switch is the”Adaptability” levels of the individual going through the career change. Few would be fortunate enough to have time for thinking and understanding and adapting to the career switch and few would not be very fortunate and be thrown into the career switch in a matter of minutes to say the least.
Now, coming to the aspect of should one make a choice of career switch in their late 30’s if they are not satisfied with the current career; i personally feel to say that there will be lot of circumstantial situations and conditions that depend on making the choice of career switch.
so, if an individual is making the career switch in his/her late 30’s, the main thing to keep in mind or rather be prepared for are the repercussions that might come along with the career switch and how good is the individual in adapting to the career switch along with these repercussions.
I personally feel that it is "OK" to choose a career based on the pay scale. However, what has to be understood is that, the particular work that is chosen for the monetary facts will be only a job and nothing else. On the other hand, if the chosen job can be made as "Calling," which takes a lot ofRead more
I personally feel that it is “OK” to choose a career based on the pay scale. However, what has to be understood is that, the particular work that is chosen for the monetary facts will be only a job and nothing else.
On the other hand, if the chosen job can be made as “Calling,” which takes a lot of effort in itself to be made so, then yes you got a job which turned into a career and made a calling out of it and still the pay scale escalates and you are happy to an extent only.
To summarise on the whole, it can be said in the words of “Win some, Lose Some.”
The answer varies from the younger ones to grown ups.

The answer varies from the younger ones to grown ups.
Coming to the younger ones; i personally am of the opine that the key essentials to keep in mind before deciding upon any career are as follows:
Inquisitiveness of the child = What depth of inquisitiveness does the child have. (I personally believe that every one is born with a certain inquisitiveness level which as we grow up tends to vary depending on various conditions and situations)
Passion Level = How passionate the child is towards anything or everything. (Being passionate or showing passion towards something or some one during the childhood is natural. so understanding this passion level makes us to think of his abilities and capabilities the child is willing to develop)
Equilibroception (Sense of Balance) = This is that which grows along with the child; which i feel personally another important factor both “Physically and Mentally.” Understanding a child’s sense of balancing level and then making the child to understand his/her Equilibroception and there by nurturing it to grow further enhances the chances of his being in his suitable career. Therefore i conclude for the above that for a child i personally feel that these 3 factors become essential (P. I. E.)
Coming to the aspect of a grownup (19 years and above) there are 3 essentials to consider
Combination = Finding the right opportunities at right situations and being in the aspect of taking deviations as and when required but never being away from the main goal. (In a sense, is more like doing SWOT Analysis)
Coordination = Utilising to the optimum level of the inner strength to the availability of the opportunities. (I personally feel that many aspects come our way to stop us from chasing our dream career; but this coordination is what helps us to maintain the balance and make a career of our choice.)
Culmination = This is the final act that decides whether we will be making to our career or not.
Therefore i personally believe that these are the essentials to keep in mind before deciding any career.
