Self employed or being employed ends the teen moments of any general population, responsibility has a greater share in this change of paradigm. The motivation that drove me to write this piece was the questions posed to me on every new intake in the university. The most popular session which has lively two-way interaction has always been about the prospects one’s course has in the job market. The questions every year in and out are nearly the ones from same template, such FAQs:

1.       Where can AAAA course graduates get a job in?

2.       Are BBBB courses  highly paid?

3.       We have so many Uni’s and so many graduates, can all of us get job?

4.       I haven't heard of this CCCC course, should I stay or change to a more familiar one?

5.       What’s the difference between DDDD & EEEE both are nearly similar, where does the change occur?

6.       I don’t think I am tailored for this profession.

7.       I have never heard of this course, I came in because was advised to register for it.

8.       My friends are all in that field, should I change to that course.

The above are some of the question painted in their minds when they walk into ending their teen years. There so many factors involved in searching for the most appropriate job.

            Firstly one should profile oneself first, where he or she is cut out for. We need to understand, there are characters whereby:

            i.      Love desk job.

            ii.     Love lotsa interaction.

            iii.    Love being bossy.

            iv.    Love managing.

            v.     Love experimenting.

            vi.    Love travelling.

            vii.   Love anything away from humans.

            viii.  Hate monotonous routine.

            ix.    Hate getting dirty/oily/dusty.

            x.     Hate being dictated upon.

            xi.    Money is everything.

            xii.   Future needs to be secured.

            xiii.  Welfare job gives satisfaction.

So it is utmost important you derive satisfaction from the job which in turn will be a joy to work in even though multiple extrinsic working environment  stresses will act upon.

All fresh graduates need to remember one GOLDEN QUOTE, there is no ideal environment whereby best job, best pay, best boss, etc will be showered upon. Thus stop being choosy grab whatsoever offer which comes along with respective skills and blend in accordingly to your own characteristics like listed above.
