So it's that time of my life when I have to choose which career to pursue... But there's a little problem... I can't quite decide what I want to do in my life. At the end of elementary school I couldn't decide either so I went for Gymnasium which gave me a broad array of options to choose. (maybe it was a mistake?
). Now I'm facing the same problem. I have always been a very good student, and I can study pretty much everything as I can easily get into any subject and find it interesting... Well except Maths, which I don't really like studying for some odd reason (probably laziness)...
So far I have narrowed my choices to:
Economy:
Pros - I have always been fascinated by the world of finances, stock markets, global goods flow and all that
stuff.
Cons - Unsure future, hard to find a job as economists make the biggest share of unemployed people in my country. I'm not really outgoing and quite shy so that could be a problem in this profession. Also I don't like traveling very much.
Computing
Pros - Much easier to find a job, pays are generally good, I like computers, and find programming an interesting and useful skill to learn in the modern world, although I never took the time to learn it past the basics of basics. More hardware oriented that Informatics (not sure if that is a pro as I don't really have any basics of Electrical engineering)
Cons - Maths is definitely not my favorite subject, although I had an A through my whole schooling, my teacher wasn't the best, he was too permissive and we could always use a paper with formulas on exams so I never learned all of them... Also I don't really know if I have a good foundation in Physics as our teacher wasn't the best either, he often skipped solving of problems and concentrated on theory. He was also sick for a long time so we didn't go through a part of the program.
Law
Pros - if you can find a job, the pay is generally good. No maths
Cons - A lot of unemployed people with a degree in law, you have to learn a lot of stuff by heart, and some subjects seem boring (Roman law for example), my shyness could prevent me from being a good lawyer
Marine and traffic logistics and management
Pros - sounds interesting
Cons - Not considered a hard college, so I don't know about the pay, shyness
Informatics
Pros - Career in demand, and is expected to rise in the future. Has a choice between business informatics , teacher or Information and communication systems graduate course.
Cons - Lots of Maths and Physics, but they go from the beginning and expand existing knowledge.
So I ask you nice fellows to tell me what is your career, how did you end up choosing it and why do you like/dislike it?
