Career choice

Someones interests and hobby's will be the biggest factor when choosing a path in which they want to study in. While groing up, a kid is exposed to so many interesting activities and is influenced by everyone around them. Choosing your career of a dream is something that doesn't always work out for the best because dreams can be out of reach depending on your abilities in school or your motivations. So choosing just because it's a dream can lead you nowhere, but if you succeed it can be the biggest accomplishement in your life.

The second most important influence when choosing a career is your parents. They have raised you and taught most of what you know. ''The data revealed that if parents had not encouraged their kids to attend post-secondary school, there was only a 4% chance that kids would end up pursuing a STEMM career in college. In contrast, 41% of students choose to pursue a STEMM career when parental encouragement was cited.'' People normally go to their parents first when they have no clue of what to do later on in life, meaning that it is true that parents are a big influence on kids.

Another influence comes from friends. When you see your friends do something, you kind of want to do the same thing so you could study and be with them all the time. Also, it is sometimes because you admire them and just want to follow their steps.
