  • How do you know what to study? 6 tips to get your choice right

    It is not easy to decide which degree to enroll in. But there are some tips that tell you how to know what to study. These are the following six, which can help you to be clearer if you have chosen correctly:

    1) Be proactive

    If you want to know what to study, do not let time pass, the decision will not become simpler and the answer will not come alone. You must be interested, find out, see the range of options to make an informed decision. Visit colleges, attend talks, talk to career counselors, reach out to other students and professionals in careers that may interest you.

    2) Consider what you want to do, not what to study

    As a child we all knew what we wanted to be when we grew up, but along the way you forget or start thinking a lot about the answers. Forget for a moment what to study and think about what kind of work you imagine yourself doing, where and under what means. This will help you discern the academic knowledge you need to achieve your goals. When you know what you want to be, you can determine which career is closest to those interests.

    3) Salary is not important

    You cannot choose your career based on pay. In addition, no career is guaranteed a large salary. If you are a good professional, someone who cares about the way you do your job and strives to improve, you will be successful and the money will follow. You will know that you have chosen correctly if you would be willing not to receive a salary for doing that work. If money is your main motivation, it is likely that you do not enjoy what you do and are dissatisfied with your choice.

    4) It is your decision

    Do not let others make the decision of which career to study for you. You can take into account the opinion of your parents and friends, but the decision is ultimately yours.

    5) The anxiety of starting to study

    Enthusiasm and motivation are good signs. If you feel like starting university and studying, it is because you are truly satisfied with your choice.

    6) Don't wait to start classes

    If you are passionate about what you want to study, you will want to know everything and for this you do not have to wait for university. Get started in a simple way to delve into the subject. For example, if you are interested in photography, take photos.

    How to know which studies to choose?
    Aug 4 2021
    The truth is that it is difficult to discover what one's vocation is at the early age at which one has to start choosing what to study. Science or Letters? Law or Engineering? Everything seems very far from the student's day-to-day life.

    From his vision of the world, things can be appreciated differently from how they really are and, therefore, to determine what should have more weight in the final decision, it is advisable to inform yourself well. For this you can use:

    1. Information on the careers offered by specialized portals.

    2. Information on the careers published by the Institutions themselves.

    3. Opinions of students and alumni expressed in forums and social networks.

    4. Employment statistics.

    5. Information about the labor market published in newspapers and reliable sources.

    6. Information on trends in the world of work.

    7. First-hand information obtained through contacts.

    Once you have a good degree of knowledge of what each decision would imply in the academic and work environment, you have to focus on yourself and evaluate your own abilities. Analyzing the strengths, weaknesses and main motivations will end up clearing doubts in this process.
