Are your families satisfied with your career choice?
Many families, children especially happen to be unsatisfied with their parents' career choice. Parents are supposed to be the beacon of hope and the people their kids can look up to for their own reasons. When kids aren't happy about their parents' career choice, that leads to resentment and lack of communication between the parent and the kids. #medicine #music #fashion #information-technology #information

There are many individuals across the globe who will tell you that money isn’t everything in life. They will insist that job satisfaction is way more important. Besides money there are so many other things which influence a person’s career choice. Of all the many things that people need to take into consideration when choosing a career, three of the most important things include the influence of family, gender and even parents. Given here are some of the chief factors that influence an individual’s career choice.
- The salary which the career offers
- The demand for people of that career
- The possibility for growth in the coming years
- The educational qualifications required for the job
- The individual’s personal likes and dislikes
- Your skills and abilities
Whether consciously or unconsciously, our family or our family situation in general, does play a major role as far as our career related choices are concerned. For many individuals across the globe, they are made to pick a field, simply on the basis of how much money they need to make two ends meet on the family front. It often happens that many individuals who desire to choose unconventional career fields like photography, dancing, singing, painting or even writing might be unable to follow their dreams because they know that such career lines do not always pay well. At such a time they rather focus their energies choosing a field which will enable them to provide for their family.

Satisfaction with the career choice is a subjective view and may change from time to time. In my experience, the parents should be helping their children with the pros and cons of various career options and then let them make their own call. Forcing one's choices on someone else is not the best way and can drive discontent in the family members. Sometimes people do not make the most optimal choices first time and then change with the learnings on the way.
