Choosing a university degree implies a thorough analysis, including various aspects, such as the true vocation that we are passionate about, the degree compatible with it, the institution where to study it, the study methodology, the teachers, the time we have to dedicate to it and the resources we have.
It is a momentous decision in the life of any person, taking into account that it will be the professional activity that will develop most of his life. During the process of searching for the ideal career it is essential to avoid mistakes such as:
1. Opt for a study program due to pressure or family traditionOn many occasions we believe that it is the right thing to do to follow in the footsteps of our parents, siblings or relatives who have ventured into a specific area that is not compatible with what we really want to do.
2. Access incomplete information about the options that exist To pursue the career of our interest, currently the educational market presents a wide scenario with endless options according to current requirements.
3. Idealize a degreeOn many occasions we make the mistake of thinking that opting for one career or another we will get the ideal job, but like other aspects it requires preparation, dedication and the ability that we can develop to create solid foundations to build a successful professional career.
4. Leaving a degree because it has subjects that make us more difficult, it is important to be aware of the existence of more complex subjects than others in any study program, which should not be an impediment to face them and study them successfully.
5. Choose a career that is fashionable, another frequent mistake is to opt for a study program because a majority chooses it or it is booming, when in reality it is not what is really associated with our vocation.
It is essential to be very clear that this is a decision that will have a high impact on our lives, it will mark the path of the opportunities that will be presented to us in the future, the activities that we will have to develop and positions that we will be able to occupy at a professional level.
