Your Career Does Not Have to be a “Realistic” Choice

November 21, 2014 by Priyanka Leave a Comment

People spend too much thinking what is practical and realistic, without truly living life. When I was growing up, there were limited choices for what was considered “realistic” career choices.

Realistic Career Choices

Realistic Career Choices

My parents were open minded and let me do my own thing, but I did feel pressure from my family friends. Going to family friend parties, I was confronted about what I was going to do as a living.

The Only Choices Were: Doctor, Engineer, or Lawyer

Everyone around me was studying to become a doctor, engineer, or lawyer. I felt out of place. I ended up studying Economics at UC Davis, though deep down I really wanted to major in English instead. But I took the more conventional route.

I worked in finance, search, healthcare, and then became a recruiter.

People Gave Me Strange Looks when I Said I was a Recruiter

Once I settled into becoming a recruiter, I told my family friends I was a recruiter. They wrinkled their nose and looked at me oddly. They wouldn’t say it, but I knew they thought I was not doing any good in my life. They thought my education hadn’t been put to good use.

Now that I think about it, what really is a realistic career choice? Who cares about if it’s considered realistic to society or not?

The more important questions to ask is: Do you feel fulfilled? Do you feel happy doing your work? I have started asking these questions to myself. I want to find joy in my work every moment.
