Career Choice as we all know is something very crucial and must be done with keen thought. There are some things that can be seen as important when deciding on your career and they therefore should be taken into consideration.

✓ First thing and very important is your personal desires. What kind of job do you prefer personally and what are some of the things that you love doing and to what kind of job do they apply?

✓ Secondly is the amount you can be able to make. It is good that you have the mindset of working not just for the pay. But we will not pretend as if it does not matter. The amount you'll be getting from your potential job must be taken into consideration.

✓ And thirdly, something that should also be taken into cognisance is your abilities and capabilities. A very lean and weak person will be making a mistake when choosing boxing as a career.

You must allow the right things serve as influences when making your choices in all areas of life.

There are many factors that influence a person's career choice. Some of the factors include:

Age

In most cases, the older you are, the more experience you have and the better your chances of getting a job. Younger workers are more likely to be offered temporary or part-time jobs.

Gender

A study has shown that young women tend to choose careers that allow for flexibility such as nursing and teaching while young men tend to choose careers that offer higher salaries and greater responsibility such as engineering or medicine. This is due to gender stereotypes regarding what type of work is appropriate for men and women.

Location

It is easier for people living in large cities like New York or Los Angeles with high population density than those living in rural areas where they may have trouble finding good jobs. People living in rural areas tend to move around a lot which makes it difficult for them to establish roots in any one place.
