Making That Heavy Career Choice

So many things go into a career choice. It’s really a matter of commitment. A career typically takes a commitment of about 15 to 20 years. That’s a career. You are not necessarily tied to one company that whole time, but in order to qualify and to be identified and defined as a “career” you’d have to be doing the same sort of thing, developing and honing a specialty in a specific field and industry for about that length of time. Anything shorter is just sort of fleeting, in terms of careers and time lines. You might be considering a career that currently doesn’t have very good prospects. But you’ve got to look further on down the road. You’ve got to look 5 to 10 years down the line, and think, put in your best guess about what you feel will be the fate of this sector or industry that you’re considering. Do you think you’ll want to commit to this field, for better or worse?
