Where you at and where you want to go?

Where you at and where you want to go? This question may sound like an easy query to every one of us while travelling from point A to point B; however it’s a very critical question for an individual seeking livelihood. If someone can answer this question right at all time he or she will have no problem whatsoever during his career journey. Today career journey is not an one end drive. A person can steer his or her career vehicle onto different directions based on one’s professional and personal desire. However it is always important for anyone to find out point A or starting point for his career. For most of us it’s right after high school. We get really confused and lost when we get exposed to vast choice of occupations right off high school. It’s a tendency of ours to become cynical to choose a definite career track right after high school and start college to get required knowledge, skills and credentials for that career. Unfortunately most of us end up either choosing a wrong career track or spending few years wandering from one school to another school to find the right path for us. There are numerous reasons for this. If you are a high school student, do you aware of all flourishing occupation exist in our country? Are we looking for a profession for more financial security or more of what fit to our individual characteristics? Are we inclined to our circle of influence like friends and family while choosing right college or trade school for us? Do we follow the present vibe or influenced by the media? Are we taking shortcut to reach point B? Or are we afraid of failure, unknown fear of higher learning and investment associated with it? Or are we just following the footsteps of more familiar road to lead an everyday life? Do you feel that you are not capable of higher learning because you have no high school diploma? There are literally hundreds of questions we can ask ourselves to find out if we are ready for our career expedition. Like every other journey it is very important to prepare ourselves to start, to know where you at right now, to know your point A. Once you can identify your current situation, then only you can start asking yourself where your first stop should be, In other words, where is your point B? And how to get there timely and securely.
