A few days ago, I and my friend has a interesting conversation. We're worried about a choice.
The first friend says: " I choose to study according industry because my parents and my brother are doing this job. But once in school, I realized I was interested in going places. I'm not interested in office work and calculated."
The second friend says: " My sister selected in finance - banks. When leave school, she worked in a bank with high incomes. She is more beautiful and more beautiful dress. I hope want to be like her so I selected this branches. Now I see I was wrong. I like painting than finance - banks."
So, two of my friend have a wrong chosen about the way career. Now, they must choose : keep going to this way or back to scratch. What should we do? We are very confused and disoriented.

Its best to do what is most interesting to you. But if you dont mind what your doing and seeing how youve already gone through all the work you need for that.. or a good portion of it.. ask yourself if you wouldnt mind doing so? whatever make syou succesful and complete. you will find the answer soon just give it a little thought

The best solution for this my friend is to follow the path where happiness will lead you. Don't bother whether your work will be hard or will it provide you extreme financial gain. As long you are happy with what you current doing then it is still a good investment for you to push forward. Have fun and you'll never have regrets!

Unfortunate that you guys are confused at the mid of your studies. Your friend selects a career coz his parents want him to. Happens to almost all of us at some time or the other. And you... pursue a career just coz your friend's sister who looks good and beautiful to you studies a particular subject. So now why this confusion? You chose a stream and path for you. Now walking on it someday you realize that it doesn't suit you. There is no guarantee that the path you want to choose would be easy and comfortable. So I would suggest you to continue with what you are into. Painting is a part time study and can be accomplished whilst continuing with what you are studying right now. You can make it a career once you are sure that you do not have problems chasing this dream.

I did choose what I like as my major, but after graduating I directly face to the stress of surviving, I know that what I insisted is nothing because very few places need this skill. Maybe your friends will find they were not wrong when they reach the graduating year.

I think the interest we have won't be same with others.I like to work in office but there will be someone who is not at all interested working in office.Suppose if my dad is teacher and wants me to be like him,i think i can't do that as 2 of us interest won't be same each other.We can give a suggestion to friends and all but we can't force them to do that particular job.Try to choose a job according to your academic and to where you fits rather than to worry about others.

I think you and your friend both are right but you should be clear about what you wanted to do? in which field you are interested according to that you should have to select.

I think your friends should follow what they want and what they hearts desire because that's the most important thing to be happy and successful.
