Personal Interests and Market Requirements
Personal interest and determining market requirements are two major factors that you should emphasize on while planning for your career.

Therefore, one should consider personal interests and market requirements simultaneously in order to choose the right field. For example, according to recent situation of jobs in Pakistan, the demand for social media networking and online marketing experts is very high that a software engineer can easily get. Thus, when you are planning for your career, you must see the scope of various fields in future and then choose the one that you can easily get. You must understand that the commerce and engineering fields are not going to get you a good job. Therefore, look for a field such as Financial and Asset management field that will have more jobs in Pakistan.
Family Involvements
Normally, the career of an individual is determined at the time of entering in intermediate level of education. In Pakistan, most of the children choose the field that their parents want them to choose. This is one major reason why the youth is unable to find the job of their relevant field. While you are at the stage of your career development, it is very important to convince your parents about your objectives and goals. Let them know about the scope of your area of interest and give valid reasons for choosing the field. In addition, the parents should understand the interest of children. For example, a child interested in artwork should direct towards the art field instead of forcing for the diploma in engineering.
One must understand the value of career development in order to have bright future as choosing the wrong field can be a living nightmare for whole of the life. Finally, the career must be choosing very carefully as it plays a pivot role and the entire life depends on it.
