People choose the occupation they desire no matter what they say -Do U Agree?

Hi Kiran! I think it appears true to an extent that people land in those jobs in which they are comfortable working in. A man who likes a desk job will not be a fit for outdoor job, even if may think in his imagination that those who travel enjoy more. He may think that 'Drums which are farther looks sweeter'. However, the reality is different. Likw-wise those who are interested in outdoor jobs like travelling would dislike to sit on a desk and work as a stationary person. BYW, given the choice what would you prefer a desk job or an outdoor job? Deepak

I am a person who takes whatever comes with an openmind and a positive attitude that what happens is ordained and God knows what He has to give me. At the same time my mind always keeps focusing on something that I want ;I do not dream too much but I would make the maximum effort and try and explore various avenues .This I keep doing , as though it is a part of me. But because I have some limitations I do not have too high ambitions and I would keep my goals to the level of my capacity.I have already told you how successful I was and what sort of popularity and limelight I had three years back.These stopped abruptly but I switched over to learning MSWord and this brought in some opportunity or other.Coming to think of it ,somehow I do keep doing what I would like to and even if it is not a great thing I would be content with whatever it is and wait for better days.I do tend to choose something or the other that I am comfortable with[ultimately].--meaning--even if it is a new area I would do it only if I like it.Somehow, because I dream to my capacity I do hope things would fructify.

Hi Kiran, When we become an adult then our thinking and decision will be strong and may reject whatever we don’t like. In other words we have the liberty/option to choose our jobs according to our convenience. In fact people are ready to keep aside their interests for their convenience especially after marriage the first preference goes to family than personal interest. If somebody offers me a better job with high salary in a far away place, I will reject that offer without thinking twice because my present job is convenient for me to look after my family and kids. So I do agree with you dear.

money ultimately is the most important factor

Interesting question. Personally I feel that once you start working for someone 9 - 5 two things happen. Firstly you become cofortable in the routine, whilst you may have to thinks hard at your job you don't have to think hard about where you are going to make your next dollar or pound etc etc. Alongside being comfortable you also cling to the safety net of knowing that at the end of the week or month you will earn a set amount. When these two things happen I wouldn't say you give up on your desires they change and quite often revolve around the security of a paid job. On the other hand it is often the case that if you follow your dreams and seek an occupation doing something you desire, there can be a lot of uncertainty attached and amny people who go this route are risk takers. So to answer your question, I don't believe people choose the occupation they desire. I feel that once they start working for someone 9-5 their desires are moved to the side and are replaced by the need for security.

Most people like me are taking a job for living rather than for enjoyment. Indeed, few people can really find a job that fits his interest, have good pay, and he really enjoys doing. Most of us have to sacrifice one for the others and for me, I need a stable and good payroll and my current job as both to offer so, I will put my enjoyment to a lower priority.

That's true,, to a large extent,Even I was in a 9 to 5 job,and am doing sales now,Can't sit one place at all,, I could have started this earlier ,Now I am out 10 to 4 and feel better with the change

no. in reality most people get into their jobs because they need to.
