CAREER

A career is an individual's journey through learning, work and other aspects of life. 
For one to make this choice, there is need for proper scrutiny by the individual and guardian.
There are widespread number of discipline to choose from, but lets sample 20 students aged 7-15 in Nigeria, If asked what they will like to be in future 14 will say "i want to be a doctor" while the remaining 6 will opt for other profession like law, pharmacy, engineering,nursing,accounting,pastor in this order.
My question is what happens to the other professions? who will cover other loopholes?
Its high time parents see the truth and hug it and show it to their children.
Its only in Nigeria that when a child by chance or luck becomes successful, parents will know Yes that's my child, but when that child is still struggling and sneaking to find the green pasture with your negativity behind, it wont be remembered.
So in this post i want to emphasize on the importance of versed different profession and packaging.
When a welder, road side mechanic, vulcanizer or an electrician goes to school he is known as electrical/electronic engineer, mechanical engineer,civil engineer etc.
When a street tailor/seamstress or shoemaker goes to school they are known as designers.
When a hairdresser goes to school she/he is known as beautician,makeup artist even cosmetologist.
The footballers,GnD, Versace etc do you know their stories, but right now they are multi-millionaires and sort after from all over the world.
What am i driving at PACKAGING.
All the profession some of the parents love their children to do is out of selfish interest....if only you support and put the child through their chosen field of interest to attain their professional desire and goal with happiness in what they do. That is why poor service is found in lots of offices because their is no job satisfaction, people tend to do a laissez faire kind of work, you go to some hospitals you get frustrated and irritated, same goes to bank even down to normal cafe like as if there is switch of roles, people are not where they want to be.
African parents have stereotyped their idea,now if everyone become a doctor who will be the patient, who will teach, who will handle other areas of life.
The funny part of this whole thing is that these favorite professions of our parents are becoming saturated with both quacks and original.
Life is more than what we think atimes, we have our resources to dig, we have our ecosystem to study and preserve, we have our territories to protect.
Its all about diversity.
Support to child's dream.
Choose wisely.
