The Importance of Choosing a Career Path ‘Today's students have a dizzying array of career avenues not available to earlier generations. On the one hand, itis exciting to have so many possibilities, but itcan also feel stressful and overwhelming, especially with people unrelentingly asking, “What are you planning on doing with your life?” If you have no sense of purpose or direction, you could waste precious time in low-paying, dead-end jobs. Following a career path paves the way for economic security throughout your lifespan, Most people do not fall into their dream job by sheer luck. Only a sliver of the population achieves fame and fortune through extraordinary talent alone. A high school education is required for most jobs that pay above minimum wage. In 2016, Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce found that high school graduates make an average of USS1.4 million in total earnings during their workforce years. College graduates have a lifetime earnings potential of US$2.5 million and those with a master’s degree can make USS2.9 million. The path to a gratifying job with a good salary starts with matching your talents to college majors and technical programmes of interest to you. Job Satisfaction More than any other generation, 88 per cént of millennials find it especially important to work ata job that supports their career development, according to job satisfaction surveys reported by the Society for Human Resource Management. Other key contributors to job happiness include feeling respected by everyone at work and receiving good wages and benefits. Choosing a career path will likely involve postsecondary i internships or apprenticeships, which can offer assurance that you are on the right track to finding a job you will enjoy for many years. Job Security. High-paying, appealing careers are within your reach if you develop a career path and follow it. A good job can buffer anxiety over the high cost of living, especially skyrocketing rent or mortgage payments. Also, college graduates have the highest rate of employment. The National Center for Education Statistics reports that 88 per cent of college-educated adults were employed in 2016. The risk of being unemployed is greatest for high school dropouts who have a dismal employment rate of 48 per cent because so many jobs require some type of postsecondary training. Meandering about in various unskilled jobs may suit your present lifestyle but cost you later in terms of job security.

Retirement may be the last thing on your mind now, but more and more people are indefinitely delaying retirement because of cuts to social security and pensions. The day may come when you want the option of retiring. The Economic Policy Institute reports that increasing segments of the population will struggle to make ends meet in their retirement years.

Even for borrows.” Mark made a casual deprecating gesture that implied it was all in the family but that it was a pretty good family to be in. When Lloyd left him he went into his front garden and up on to the verandah, which was shut in, protected and cool with the thick riee-and-peas vine and with the handsome cane furniture casually and carefully arranged along its length. He went in through the darkened cool drawing-room and dining-room where the dark glimmers of mahogany shone, and out on to the verandah. Here it was light and hot with glare and smelled of the hot flat-irons on the coal pot and the scent of starched, freshly-pressed white cloth. The servants were working and laughing together as they worked: Alice was ironing the clothes. Lyn was squatted on a stool with a big earthenware bowl on her lap, picking rice, her skirt drawn up over her glossy black knees and tucked primly down between the big, round, shiny thighs. Dan the garden-boy was out under the avocado tree cutting, and joining a new length of rubber hose. “Hii sah,” Alice said to him fondly. “You come home late today. Where you been?” “Ol .” he said, “I was down in the gully.” He leant the air-gun carefully in a corner and slung the satchel strap over his head. “1 went shooting,” He told them and took the birds he had shot from the now damp and blood- stained newspaper. He laid them along the verandah rail. First the three doves, close together, then the other, unnamed bird a little way from them to show it wasn’t of the same quality. “Lawd, Missa Mark, but you is a shot. You gwine shoot crocodile next. Well, four bird, all one time.” Adapted from John Hearne, “Voices under the Window In The West Indian Narrative: An Introductory Anthology, Revised edition, compiled by Kenneth Ramchand, Thomas Nelson and Sons, 1980, pp. 130-131.
