We choose the profession or the profession chooses us - a must-have career guidance book

Cover of the book "We choose the profession or the profession chooses us"

The book clearly states that before choosing a school or a major, students must choose a career. Choosing the right career not only helps students earn an income, support themselves, have a social status, and a goal to pursue wholeheartedly, but also brings joy to us every day at work. On the contrary, if you choose the wrong career, you will have to endure a lot of pressure and frustration because every day you do a job you do not want.

So how to choose the right career? First, young people need to have a clear understanding of their career, their abilities, their strengths, and especially need to consider the needs of society for the career they are choosing. In previous years, a number of young people chose their career by following the majority or choosing "hot" careers. This led to a situation where some careers had a surplus of human resources, while others had a shortage. Another equally important factor is not to let parents' expectations become pressure on each of us in choosing a career.

Find a suitable career, then you choose a school, choose a major. A major is a specialized field that includes many related professions. A major will provide basic knowledge about the field related to your career. The amount of knowledge in a major is often very broad and comprehensive. The simplest way you can find information about a major is to look it up on the school's website. To have a more specific idea about the major, you should look up the list of subjects in the major. This helps you get a rough idea of ​​the amount of knowledge you will access in the coming years. Choose a suitable major, then you can research schools that have the major you choose, especially aiming for the top schools that satisfy your criteria.

In addition to researching on the school's website and student handbook, you should also listen to the sharing of teachers, alumni of the faculty, the school you want to study at, or experts to have a closer look at your field of study. Google is also a useful tool to help you search and update information related to your field of study. The book also emphasizes that career counseling needs to be implemented early and better in schools to help students choose the right major, career, and school.

The book is published by Dan Tri Publishing House. Readers can buy it at bookstores or find it at Hai Duong Provincial Library.
