There comes a time when all young people must decide what career to study. It is at this moment that doubts arise, and future students are not clear how to define their future, as they are debating between the vocation, skills they possess for individual careers and the salary to receive.
"You have to consider multiple factors in different areas. First, the individual, that is, 'what do I want for myself?' It is necessary to take into account the emotional aspect, the vocational aspect, that is, the development that the person has had up to that moment about their strengths and weaknesses, in which areas they could perform better, their interests, tastes, etc. " Notes the academic coordinator of the University of the Pacific School of Psychology, Felipe Vergara.
According to the academic, each student should reflect on what is seen in the future, what kind of places he feels comfortable and would like to be. Whether or not he is interested in different areas of the career, in addition to taking into account the market That profession, whether in the economic as in the work.
"Studying a career is quite demanding, especially a daytime that involves 45 hours a week. In that sense, it is important to consider what the family support is the student, if the family situation is unstable or if some conflicts prevent 100% study. Maybe there are other decisions to take, such as considering the length of the race, etc., "says Vergara.
Many young people are among several different options, and it 's hard to choose one of them. In that case, the psychologist explains that the first step is to know yourself and evaluate the alternatives well. For example, if a student is between studying music and business engineering, it is best to understand that it is not a life-or-death decision.
"Dreams are realized in an integral way, that is to say, maybe it is this and also the other. The options are not necessarily exclusive. If the person wants to study, for example, Music, he has to evaluate his abilities, the possibilities of labor field, etc. It is necessary to make a critical look at the strengths of each one in front of what society gives me. Clearly, if the person is willing to earn less at the beginning, which is going to cost, but for accomplishing what he really wants to be, it is a very valid option, "says the U. of the Pacific expert.
On the other hand, Vergara emphasizes that it is necessary to focus on the vocation, since indicators such as profitability, employability, and others, can vary and also the chances of success change depending on personal characteristics.
"Employability and income will depend on the person's contact networks, the ability to manage their career, their level of proactivity, etc. The great offer of educational programs makes us have the distorted image that the race does everything, and no, it is the personal effort. It is one thing to have the inputs of a professional career and another what is what the person does with that, "says the specialist.
Vergara also says that the vocation can not be chosen or known overnight to a performance that had the person in a test. "Vocation is determined in the course of life, in the project of life that sets a teenager forward," he says.
