Career is a very important thing in one’s life . Whatever career path you choose
to follow, it will impact your life greatly. Your career will define your status in a
society in addition to your lifestyle. In other words, your career will determine
your social circle and relationships.

Therefore, it is extremely important to choose the correct career path. From a

very young age, we aspire to be something or the other. ( Ask)

While someone aims to be a doctor, some wish to become a painter. Our career
choices depend on a lot of things. Thus, it is important to consider all factors
before choosing a career path.

I. CAREER ( Ask )
By Oxford: Careers is the job or series of jobs that you do during your working
life, especially if you continue to get better jobs and earn more money.

There are 6 steps to make a Career Choice When You Are Undecided

1. Assess Yourself - Who Are You Right Now?

Here are some useful questions and activities to explore:
What subjects have you enjoyed studying at school and beyond? Why? Is it
because you like the person teaching you, or there’s something about that
subject you can really relate to?
What subjects have you done well at, and why?
For example: Ngô Bảo Châu entered the special mathematics class at the High
School for Gifted Students, Hanoi University of Science. Now he is Scientific
Director of the newly founded Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in
Mathematics (VIASM).
Finding yourself by doing personality test ( MBTI, DISC )
 2. Make a list of occupations to explore and Explore the Occupations on
Your List
You probably have multiple lists of occupations in front of you at this
point—one generated by each of the self-assessment tools you used. To keep
yourself organized, you should combine them into one master list.

At this point, you'll be thrilled you managed to narrow your list down to only 10
to 20 options. Now you can get some basic information about each of the
occupations on your list.
 3. Create a "Short List"
Now you have more information, start to narrow down your list even further.
Based on what you learned from your research so far, begin eliminating the
careers you don't want to pursue any further. You should end up with two to five
occupations on your "short list."
 4. Conduct Informational Interviews
When you have only a few occupations left on your list, start doing more
in-depth research. Arrange to meet with people who work in the occupations in
which you are interested. They can provide firsthand knowledge about the
careers on your short list. Access your network, including LinkedIn, to find
people with whom to have these informational interviews.
 5. Identify your goals
Once you make a decision, identify your long- and short-term goals. This helps
to chart a course toward eventually landing work in your chosen field.
Long-term goals typically take about three to five years to reach, while you can
usually fulfill a short-term goal in six months to three years.
Let the research you did about required education and training be your guide. If
you don't have all the details, do some more research. Once you have all the
information you need, set your goals. An example of a long-term goal would be
completing your education and training. Short-term goals include applying to
college, apprenticeships, other training programs, and internships.
For instance: Students who have long term life and career goals see college as
one step towards achieving their goals. This can set a purpose and a direction for
students. It can increase students’ day-to-day and semester-to-semester
motivation because they see that each course is part of a greater whole that will
help them in the future.
 6. Write a career action plan
Put together a career action plan, a written document that lays out all the steps
you will have to take to reach your goals. Think of it as a road map that will take
you from point A to B, then to C and D. Write down all your short- and
long-term goals and the steps you will have to take to reach each one. Include
any anticipated barriers that could get in the way of achieving your goals—and
the ways you can overcome them.
II. WHAT DO GENERATION Z THINK ABOUT CAREER?

Generation Z (aka Gen Z), refers to the generation that was born between
1997-2012, following millennials. This generation has been raised on the
internet and social media, with some the oldest finishing college by 2020 and
entering the workforce.

1. CLEAR GOAL

- The top career goal is to land in a position where they feel secure and
stable. Most people said they would rather work at a stable job than one
they're passionate about. This feature highlights a key difference between
Gen Z and their millennial counterparts, who were more interested in
finding jobs that did more for their happiness than financial stability
- Members of Gen Z also want to feel connected to the company's
organizational results. As such, they said they hunger for development
opportunities. One study found that 36 percent of Gen Zers worried they'd
be stuck in a job that didn't give them chances to grow. It also found that
86 percent felt they lose time each day on tasks unrelated to their core job
responsibilities and 40 percent felt they waste at least an hour or more on
unrelated administrative tasks.

- To that end, more than 75 percent of respondents said a manager's

coaching ability was important to them. Additionally, 25 percent said
they would leave a job if they had a boss who managed their
employees through fear.
2. EXPECTATIONS

- Gen Z expects to work with modern technology

Because of common exposure to different forms of technology in their

personal lives, this emerging workforce also expects to use modern
technologies in their professional lives.
Although Gen Z grew up communicating through technology, some
research shows that they primarily use cellphones and other electronic
devices for entertainment purposes and prefer to communicate with their
professional contacts in person. Successfully engaging with Gen Z in the
workplace could require employers to balance face-to-face and virtual
communication.
- Gen Z embraces changes

Gen Z ranks as the most informed among teens of other generations.

Many Gen Zers have experienced a lifetime of immediate access to the
internet, news and social media. As a result, they have frequently watched
large scale social and political events unfold that may have effected
change.

Generation Z’s views have also been shaped by environments that

pre-date their impact like climate change, various forms of terrorism and
the Great Recession. This may serve as their inspiration to lean into
activism. As change agents, Gen Zs often seek jobs that provide the
opportunity to contribute, create, lead and learn.
- Gen Z is competitive
Gen Z has been raised in one of the most competitive educational
environments and they are accustomed to receiving immediate feedback
so they can improve. Previous generations often waited days or weeks to
receive grades for completed assignments, but Gen Z may be accustomed
to near-instant access to their results and the ability to promptly compare
with their peers.

In the workplace, Generation Z’s competitive nature may be combined

with a strong desire for recognition of their work. As a result, they value
clear expectations about how to achieve success and professional
advancement. 57% of Gen Z respondents in the Workforce Institute report
stated that they expect to be promoted at least once a year.
III. THE PANDEMIC’S IMPACT ON GEN Z’S CAREER PLAN

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide
and presents an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems and the
world of work. The changes in the world’s economy also strongly affect gen
Zers’ choices of work.

After a year of abandoning office settings in favor of hastily improvised

work-from-home arrangements, gen Zers’ basic sense of a “good job” has been
deeply altered.

People in Gen Z got a bit more upbeat about their ability to handle remote
working. What they are really looking for now is flexibility, even as many have
encountered difficulties landing jobs in the past year. Whether that's the ability
to work remotely full time from locations that offer cheaper rental opportunities,
or the ability to come into an office as and when they choose. They want to
adjust the job clock themselves - establishing the start, stop and break times that
work best for them. Single people want the freedom to change cities, while still
keeping the same employer.

For young generations, the epidemic has solidified the fact that the traditional
method of doing things would no longer be optimal for them in the future. Due
to that, their expectations in most jobs are being altered. They tended to cite
challenges when applying for jobs, including highly competitive hiring
processes and connection difficulties during virtual interviews. What they
expect more in a job in particular is career development but higher pay.
In the condition of Covid 19, Gen-Z are keen to put in the work to drive change
that they think is necessary and it's better to be part of that change, rather than to
hope it doesn't impact them.

IV. DISCUSS
Passion vs Money: Should You Choose a Job You Love or One That Pays?
It’s hard to tell someone whether to follow one’s dream job or go for a career
that makes money, but not job satisfaction. It is a matter that largely depends on
the situation a person is in, and how feasible a career they’re passionate about is.

According to the report, less than half of employees in the US feel satisfied with
their jobs, while only 20% of them feel very passionate about it. Experts say that
happiness does increase with wealth, but the correlation peaks at earning $75
thousand per year. The threshold for life satisfaction varies around the world,
from $35 thousand in the Caribbean to $125 thousand in New Zealand. After
that, people face the point of no return where more money does not contribute to
the overall feeling of self-esteem, confidence, or happiness.
A job you love or the one that pays has its own advantages and disadvantages. If
you aim for a high salary job, you will get money, safety, respect and save for a
rainy day. On the other hand, you will be underdevelopment, lack professional
connections. Jobs that offer a high payday often tend to go hand-in-hand with
long working hours. With so much activity and pressure in business life, it’s not
surprising to see a lot of successful professionals dealing with health issues. If
money making is causing headaches, the job you love is doing exactly the
opposite. You enjoy the pleasure while working, don’t feel pressure and don’t
hate going to work early in the morning, which is the basic precondition for
staying healthy in the long run. Moreover, doing what you love also gives you a
chance to grow in your career, to form a wide network of professional
connections, to keep learning and improving your skills. Choosing professional
growth over money, however, brings you some difficulties. You might be
struggling to make ends meet in the beginning, which is a huge disadvantage.
While this is just a temporary disadvantage, it can be very awkward for
individuals who are constantly in need of more money. When your passion turns
into a job, however, many problems happen, many tasks need to be done which
doesn’t give you time to rest or relax. Although this is not always the case, for
many people, passions change over time. If you realize that your job is not the
role you were hoping for, your passion to work and contribute could disappear
easily.
Sometimes deciding between the two options can seem like mission impossible.
But, that shouldn’t be the case, and it won’t be if you study your options closely
and decide based on facts and feelings equally. You have to look at all sides
carefully and then decide how and what you should be doing and do it.
There is no secret formula that can solve this equation, so you have to think
about the things that make you happy and fulfilled. Be honest with yourself and
you will learn how to make a balance between career growth and financial
compensations.
