Remember! After your writing activity you must read and leave comments on my blog and on 3 of your classmates' posts.
This is a 200 words post (as a minimum).
As a guide, here is my version of this topic:
Career decisions are wrought in complexities. Many students start by looking at their interests, selecting a career in line with their personal affinities or aspirations. They will consider their own self-beliefs in their capacity to perform and succeed in a given career, and then factor in labour market prospects, employment, earnings, and the possibilities to progress in their chosen profession over a lifetime.

As a guide, here is my version of this topic:
But career decisions are not only about students’ choices: they also interact with a number of public policy objectives, such as making education systems more efficient, aligning skills to the demands of the labour market, and helping improve social equity. Some countries have sought to promote certain fields or pathways over others through financial incentives or by opening access. Conversely, other fields impose highly selective admissions processes. As students are confronted with more possibilities, it is essential to ensure that they have the proper guidance to navigate through the wealth of pathways open to them. That will ease the sometimes bumpy transition from education to the labour market.
today it's very difficult to study not only because of the situation in Chile and world, a relevant factor is the elevated number of professional graduated from saturated careers :(
ReplyDeletechoosing a career is a very difficult process, because to the academic demands and the pressure of others. Also, being forced to do it because we have been established that it means to be something in life.
ReplyDeleteThese days Chile is becoming a difficult place to study. Whatever you want to work the salary is minimum, required experience for recent degree students.
ReplyDeleteWe are so young when must need take the decision of career. There are many factors for consider and I think that before, we require more experience and a vison integral.
ReplyDeleteI think that is really dificult choose a carrer so young and be sure about that, i think that its ok take our time and if this wasn´t was we wanted just find another one, the idea is study something that we really liked and feel comfortable with that.
ReplyDeleteMany people can't decide about a career and I can not blame them, in fact i'm not one hundred percent sure about my choice.
ReplyDeleteThe educational system treat us like machine or only numbers, and like you said there is a public policy agenda behind this
ReplyDeleteHi! You right. Choose a career at 18 years is so hard, because everybody said is the only way to live the life is studying and earned a good job for to make a family. Nobody advice the failures and frustation with this desicion.
ReplyDeletechoose a career is very dificult, firts because when you do that you are only 18 years old, but at the same time when you are in chile the difficulty is bigger because of the bad sistem of education that we have
ReplyDeleteHey! I think that is so hard choose a career, being so young and without knowledge of what this mean. In my case, I want help the comunity so that we can improve as society, but if we can't decide how do it, is difficult that the change happen. So, is important begin creating consciousness, sometimes, of the things that nobody notice, like the difficult decision of choose a career.
ReplyDeletewe should start talking more about what happens after finishing a degree, we all think that bc we study a university degree we will be able to be successful and everyone tells us about an idyllic world that is not so. thank you late capitalism
ReplyDeleteI'll always say that choosing "what are you going to do your whole life" at 18 is the cruelest thing for someone who literally is just figuring out who they are.
ReplyDeleteokey i think that isnt easy choose what career we want to do fot all our life, because in chile is so dificults sometime have the segurity that this jobs give us be quality and stability, also when we choose the career we are so little that we dont know how are the things yet
ReplyDeleteDeciding what to study is really difficult, because we are supposed to do what we study all our lives, but for that we also have to love what we study.
