accept the parents verdict by force

get tempted by current trends.

Jump into any career.14

Points to Avoid when planning your careerMany students pass out of school, go to college, and more than a year into it, opt

out of their courses. Theyd realize they were either not interested in what they

were studying, or that their courses were too complex for them!

The result the complete waste of a vital year, and, more importantly, more

confusion about what to study thence!

CAREER GUIDANCE through Aptitude Test

15

An aptitude test is probably the single-most effective tool to make an informed

decision about ones studies and career.

You may think you are very good at Maths at school, which you may well be,

but making a career choice on that is unwise. Will you be able to cope with

maths at the college level? Does a career in maths even interest you?

So many questions can be answered by taking an aptitude test. It has

answers that will give you an accurate idea of your interests and

strengths.

Many time the results may surprise you, because what you had planned foryourself and what the test shows can be quite different.

But it is important because it removes the guess work out of theequation
