As a student you all better know the importance of career in your life. Once you have chosen a right path for you, you will never regret and may achieve what you desire.

"Yesterday is not ours to recover but tomorrow is ours to win or lose".

But the major problem of very next student is how to select a right career path. Because being a teenager you just entered a stage where you are completely unaware of the educational and employment opportunities available in a particular field. Hence, there is a need of proper basic and professional guidance related to the selection of career path to every student.

However, there are a lot of problems faced by the students in choosing their right career path. Here we will discuss some heightened issues in career selection along with their solutions.

Lack of self knowledge:

Lack of self awareness leads to many wrong decisions because unless you don’t know about your skills and competencies you can never be able to plan a successful career path. Therefore, first of all explore yourself. Try to reveal your character, capabilities, key strength, aptitude and interest. Remember, No one knows you, better than you! One of the best ways to track your progress is to write your plans so, make a list and write your plans and priorities. You may ask your peers and others who closely knew about you. Once you are perfectly self aware, you can surely easily plan your future.

Lack of professional guidance:

In the journey of career selection many students suffer and cannot make their right choice. You may experience hurdles due to lack of professional counseling that can help you to peruse your goals. For such reason, a number of students remain unaware of the possibilities and opportunities available for them according to their skills and interest. Seek for professional guidance while you are choosing your career. You may seek help to your professors, mentors and related personalities. Apart from it, there are many websites that provide career selection related guidelines like:

Lack of financial support:

You may probably know yourself well and also have proper guidance but unfortunately you may don’t have a strong financial support in order to proceed for higher education. All of us know that there is a high fee structure in most of the educational institutes. Most of the students cannot afford too much expense. Although there are many scholarship programs available in almost all institutes on the basis of merit as well as need. You can apply for the scholarships and get your problem solved. Another way to resolve this problem is that you can do any online job in your spare time or may work as free lancer without affecting your study schedule.

Inability to access the quality educational institutes:

Lack of access to a good educational institute is another big hurdle. The limited access may be due to many reasons such as long distance, unaffordable fees of the institute and the limited seats. In most of the quality educational institutes there are a tough competitive exams and limited seats so everyone cannot get into it. One can get admission there by making strong aim and continuous hard work.

Improper career planning:

It may prove to be the disastrous thing for your career. Many students choose their career under the influence of temporary inclination. Some students also choose their career because their friends do so, that is completely unfair with yourself. Think about your interest, skills and passion, and then select your field of choice.

Fear of society:

Apart from above mentioned hurdles the most common problem is the fear of society. Majority have their dream goal since their childhood like some wants to be a doctor, engineer, artist, photographer, writer, singer and much more. But due to the restrictions around them they may fail to achieve their dream goal. They have a constant fear that if they pursue their career according to their interest the society will not accept them. But this is totally a wrong thinking, you should ask for others suggestion but after evaluating all suggestions you should make a firm decision according to your interest. As our leader Quaid e Azam once said:

"Think 100 times before you take a decision, but once that decision is taken, stand by it as one man".
