It makes sense to do soul searching at the beginning of your career and start on the right path. This will generate a positive life philosophy early on and make you confident as you move forward.
If you choose a path based on your passions you will always maintain your spirit to control and define your life.
Most magazines, career counselors and parents give you career guidance based on which job areas are in demand the most or which offers the highest salaries. These are not good criteria for your career choice.
You should try ignoring the market and pursue whatever your passion drives you toward.
Choose a career based on your interests, skills and priorities in life.
Since your career and work will be a large part of your life choose something which excites you and gives opportunity to excel and innovate.
