Discuss

- Discuss it with your parents and career guidance

teacher or counselor.

They are there to guide you and sure know more than
you do.

- However, it is your own duty to make your choice.

“Listen to advice but
make your own decision ultimately”.
 No one can truly know what works for you,
so carry out your own research and make an
informed choice taking into consideration
your talents, interests and ability.
Having made your
choice, what next?
 Making the right choice is not the end;
you need to work hard to make your
dreams come true, else it may at the best
become one of the greatest dreams that
never saw the light of the day
 Have behind your mind that it is much
better to become a job creator rather than
a job seeker. So begin to think on this and
working towards it.

chose the right career?
 A career that has been correctly chosen will one
that includes your talents and interests, passion
and one that most probably pays really well but
then again it should not be about the money in
the first place.

What is Demand?
Demand is an economic principle referring to a
consumer's desire to purchase goods and services
and willingness to pay a price for a specific good

Holding all other factors constant, an increase in
the price of a good or service will decrease the
quantity demanded, and vice versa.
