Hello everyone,
I hope you all are doing fine. Today, while browsing through contests on Discord, I found this topic interesting. I thought why not share my point of view where so many people are sharing theirs. Today's topic revolves around reflecting on whether to stick to a single career or opt for multiple careers in one's life. I wonder if what people will choose (have gone through some writings and their opinions are interesting.)
No, no, it's not just about reflection, but also a question of whether I will stick to a single career throughout my life or opt for multiple careers. So, first, let's see what impact a single career can have on our lives and what impact choosing multiple careers may have.
I'll write in the third person to make it easier for me to write and for you to understand. When a person completes their studies, their first priority is to secure a job and earn because living without a job or career in this era of inflation is very difficult. So after successfully completing the degree, one desperately hunts for a job or a successful career.
Let's say they do get a job, but it's not necessary that the job they get is of high quality or prestigious. Maybe they only took that job to cover their expenses quickly. In such a situation, they might look for another, better job or choose a career that offers better prospects than their previous one. Doing this will take them into the category of people who went for a multiple career option in their life.
Similarly, when a person completes their studies and embarks on a career search, it's possible that they find the perfect job for them in their first attempt. A job that brings in a lot of money and allows them to find mental peace. In this case, there's no need for them to look for another career. Sticking to one career would be better for them. I personally have seen such cases, like people achieve what they dreamed for and now they are happy...
Now, let's take my example. Let me tell you that I am a CSS aspirant, aiming to become a CSP officer (a competitive exam in my country). If I don't clear the CSS exam in my first attempt, then obviously I can't just sit idly, I'll have to explore other options. But I'll still keep striving for CSS. So what do you say? In this way i am going to have a multiple career course of life.
However, if I do clear the CSS exam in my first attempt and achieve my dream career, then what's the need for me to pursue anything else? For me, it depends on the circumstances whether I pursue a single career (my dream career) or opt for multiple careers to achieve it.
A few days back where a person topped CSS exam in my country who was already at a good job already. I would say he was having a full luxury job and still he applied for CSS exam. He came to a conference held at my university where someone asked him a question that why you opted for CSS when you already had a good job. His reply was I did had a good job but i also had to focus on my future as CSS provides more paced progress in your job.
Besides having the part that people are forced for a multiple career life they sometimes do this to satisfy their own selves or seeing their future in front of their eyes. They don't just want sit idle after finding a good job but also care that what will happen in the future and is their job secure for the future...
Well, that's all from my side.
GOODLUCK AND BEST WISHES 👌
