What are the most important things to consider when choosing a future career? Money? Job satisfaction? Other things?

Do you have a career dilemma? If so, explain.

It’s difficult to choose a career because we must make a choice very young about study but we don’t still know what we really want to do in the future.  Moreover, everybody would like to find a good job which permit to earn a lot of money and a job what we like to do. Since the youngest age we have dreams and sometimes it’s difficult to realize all our dreams. I am going to tell you about the most important things in my opinion for a future career and my career dilemma.

In my opinion, we need a long time of reflection before to choose a job. In fact, it is very important to like our job because in a life we spend a lot of time to work so if you don’t like your job, each morning it will be difficult to go to work and you cannot be satisfied.

Of course, money is important too, If we want have a comfortable life, we need money… For example, I love travel so I need to earn lot of money if I want enjoy my vacation by travelling. I think we should choose if possible a job with these two criteria.

I have one older brother, he was a very good student. My parents are very proud of him and I always have been jealous by that but I love him. My plan was to do everything like him to have admiration of my parents too. Maybe it is stupid because my parents are certainly proud of me too but I want to be proud myself. So my brother has master’s degree and I want to be graduate too. We have not learnt the same domain, his domain is computer science and mine is business, management and communication.

Actually, his English is good so when I will came back in France I wish to speak better than him. Today, I have the bachelor’s degree so I would like to continue my studies with a master. I found one: European course in business studies. It means each semester is in another European country. It seems a very good program but it means too I must continue my studies for 2 years again.

I have two career dilemmas. The first is about my boyfriend. He disagrees with me about my studies because it means I must be far of him for 2 years again. I need his encouragements to find motivation, to continue my studies so it is difficult to make a choice.

The second is for after my studies, my parents have a company. I worked with them during my last year of bachelor. I would like to continue with them but it is difficult to work with family and I would like to change lot of things about management in their company and my parents see me again like a child so it is difficult to be credible. I know they would like I work with them.

Moreover if I continue in this company, it means a must stay in my native city, so it is a little city and I want to live with a boyfriend in another city.

So, I need to make a lot of decision and I have not a time to think because my time is count. I hope choose best thing for my future.
