Perhaps this is the beginning of the many decisions that will depend on you from now on, because becoming an adult seems to be cool but it also has its less good things. Sometimes the more options we have to choose from, paradoxically, the harder it is to make a decision. When you finish the baccalaureate and have to make a decision\u00a0what career to study\u00a0<\/b>what we face in the face of uncertainty and stress about whether or not the\u00a0chosen career\u00a0<\/b>will offer us\u00a0a field of work\u00a0<\/b>in which we can develop ourselves and work in what we like and why say it?,\u00a0<\/b>that makes us happy. After all, there are many hours we have to dedicate to work and doing something that does not motivate us and does not bring us a bit of happiness every day is pointless in the end.\u00a0<\/p>

What to do when you are not sure what to study?<\/strong><\/p>

There are so many university careers nowadays that we sometimes lose focus of what our strengths and weaknesses are in the academic field. Knowing yourself is the starting point for making the right decision about your career. what to study.\u00a0<\/b>It's like when you go shopping, it doesn't matter what's in the shop, the important thing is that you know what you need to eat correctly and feel good about it. Well, we can apply the same thing to the\u00a0choice of career or degree.\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0If you have not already done so, let yourself be helped by those who know you best and by teachers who can, for example, help you.\u00a0with your vocational orientation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>Ultimately, the decision is yours alone to make, but let yourself be helped by those who care about you. It is always better to be accompanied than alone.\u00a0<\/p>

1. Think about what you like<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

See\u00a0everything that catches your attention<\/b>What would you like to do and try to answer the million-dollar question: What do you want to be when you grow up? Don't be overwhelmed if you don't know. There are people who are 40 years old and still don't know. So, relax and enjoy the process. Also, think that any answer is good no matter how crazy, unattainable or, as parents sometimes tell us, \"fantastic it sounds\". Sometimes, we are afraid or ashamed to admit that we have a very cool dream to realise or that we would like to have a job with luxurious conditions, but why go for the top? If you can't think of anything, try to ask yourself questions such as: Do you like to travel? Are you interested in languages? Are you better at numbers or letters? Are you concerned about current affairs? Do you like personal relationships?\u00a0<\/p>

2. You don't have to study what your parents study or what they want to study.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

Of course, the answer to all the questions, doubts and concerns you have is only you. If you don't know, that's fine, but don't let yourself be conditioned by the careers of people who are important to you, such as parents, friends or relatives. We can feel admiration for\u00a0professional life<\/b>\u00a0of a person but that does not mean that he or she is your\u00a0ideal career.\u00a0<\/b>I remember once a girl who was studying at a\u00a0online degree<\/b>\u00a0and he told us that he admired the kids who did internships in hospitals with the sick. Just because you admire something doesn't mean that you have the skills to do it. Nowadays there is also a lot of communication that makes those young people who are not sure what to study focus on the\u00a0vocational training\u00a0<\/b>as plan B . Often, because of the pressure they feel when choosing a four-year degree, they opt for this other option because the duration is shorter. They are afraid of \"wasting years of study\" on something they later discover they don't like and end up with a \"plan B\".\u00a0changing careers<\/b>. However, many of them eventually end up making a\u00a0university degree\u00a0<\/b>after the\u00a0fp.\u00a0<\/b>Moral: \"Do not let the fear and pressure of having to make a decision condition the decision\".<\/p>

3. Ask for information about each degree course you are interested in (subjects, career opportunities...).<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>

You know that no one is going to come to your door to tell you what degrees and courses are available. So take the initiative, look for universities that have the degrees you want to do. Ask for information and if you can, contact people who have studied those degrees or attend a\u00a0orientation days<\/b>\u00a0or to\u00a0open days.<\/b><\/p>

4. Visualise yourself working on it in the short term<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

A career does not determine your entire future. Often the names of careers create an image of jobs that does not correspond to reality. Look for information about the sector and also, positively value the\u00a0curricula with subjects<\/b>\u00a0that are applicable to those jobs in which you see yourself in the future.<\/p>

5. Analyse how you want to study<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

What possibilities the centres offer you. You want to study online or face-to-face. The face-to-face modality will always allow you to enjoy more the\u00a0university life<\/b>\u00a0but if you prefer to study online in order to combine your degree with other studies or jobs, it is also a good idea to look for centres that offer you the possibility of studying both on-site and online.<\/p>

6. Check job vacancies<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

Research job offers and plan your future career. It is essential to find out about the career opportunities on the market, but it is also important not to limit yourself to that information alone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Create your own career choice test<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

As the wise say, there are no wrong answers, only wrong questions. So, think about what you need to question so that the answers will help you.<\/p>

Here are some questions:(you can expand them according to your knowledge)<\/p>

  • What is it good for?\u00a0<\/b><\/li>
  • What kind of work will I have to do?\u00a0<\/b><\/li>
  • Will I have to travel a lot?<\/b><\/li>
  • Is it an official race?<\/b><\/li>
  • What percentage find work?\u00a0<\/b><\/li>
  • Is it more individual or team work?<\/b><\/li>
  • Do I care more about money or about doing what I like?<\/b><\/li>
  • Will it be easy for me to study this, and am I interested in studying languages?\u00a0<\/b><\/li>
  • Do I prefer technical, practical or theoretical knowledge?<\/b><\/li><\/ul>

    You can also make a sheet of paper outlining the advantages and disadvantages of each option you decide on. In the end, it is a matter of refining your search until you narrow down the options.<\/p>

    So what is the most important thing to know when deciding what career to study?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>

    If all this is not clear to you, I recommend :\u00a0<\/p>

    1. Choose a career with a high employment rate<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

    Careers related to sectors with a high economic impact with Tourism, International Relations or, failing that, Engineering. If you are more of a health professional, go for Medicine.<\/p>

    2. Study languages<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>

    Look for curricula that train you in languages. It is highly valued in all companies and selection processes.\u00a0<\/p>

    3. Choose a career in an area you are good at<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>

    Talking about if you're a literature major, then maybe careers with subjects like\u00a0law, languages ... sociology<\/b><\/p>

    If you like numbers, ... then you know, go for maths or become an economist.<\/p>

    If you like to travel... be sure of it. Go for the\u00a0Degree in Tourism<\/b>\u00a0yes or yes<\/p>

    If you like current affairs. A for\u00a0International Relations<\/b>.<\/p>

    If you like research... Bio-sanitation may suit you.<\/p>

    Whatever you decide, remember that nerves are normal. When we are responsible we want to make good decisions because we are aware that they have consequences but think about what you get right or wrong, it will be part of your development and if you get it right about what to study, congratulations! You will have made an excellent choice but if on the other hand, even if you get it right, remember that behind a mistake there is a learning process that will help you to future success. Welcome to the wonderful world of adults and decision making.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
