How to Choose the Right Career Path

Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. It's not just about earning money — it's about finding fulfillment, purpose, and growth.

Start by assessing your interests, strengths, and values. Ask yourself what activities energize you, what skills come naturally, and what impact you want to make in the world.

Research various industries, talk to professionals, and explore internships or projects. Don’t hesitate to seek guidance from mentors or career counselors.

✅ Remember: It’s okay to change your path. Growth comes from experience and learning what truly suits you.
