We all come to a point where we have to make certain life choices. Some are big some are small. But choosing a career is probably up there alongside choosing a life partner.

Deciding a career path is an important decision because your career choice affects pretty much everything in your life.. Many people end up regretting their career choice because they didn't take certain essential factors into consideration.

We are going to talk about 8 things to consider before choosing a specific career.

As you contemplate a career choice, bear in mind what are your life priorities and what kind of life do you want to build?

• How does your work impact your life?

• Where do you see yourself in the next 2 and also in 10 years?

• What is your work style?

• Are you comfortable planning your own work schedule? Or do you like being told what to do?

• Do you like indoor or outdoor work environments?

• Do you want to travel and work?

• Do you want to do remote work or do you like working in an office?

Understanding your life priorities can help with the kind of career you choose.

For example if you like working from home, don’t go in a field which requires your physical presence at one location.
