Careers Without Boring Jobs
Careers can be confusing for many people. The career is sometimes described as a person’s “journey” throughout life. However, there are several ways to describe a career and the word is often used in various ways. Some consider careers to be work, while others view careers as ways of expressing themselves creatively and achieving goals, while others still consider careers to be institutions or boundaries that people are forced to pass through in order to achieve certain things in life.
Careers can take on many different forms. These include but are not limited to, careers in business, the arts, education, journalism, healthcare and government. These are all general types of careers that cover a wide range of occupations. However, there are specific careers that are related to each and every one of these industries. These include but are not limited to, nursing, construction, hospitality, information technology and management, engineering, advertising, graphic design, journalism, teaching, publishing, book-keeping, financial consulting, administration, legal, computer programming and much more.
There is also career management. Career management involves setting career goals, implementing strategies for career development, assessing potential career alternatives, developing potential supervisors, evaluating oneself, setting and adhering to career objectives and much more. A lot of the work involved in the different aspects of careers is all done through career management. It is the system which coordinates all aspects of one’s career from the initial decision made in choosing the career to the actual on-ground work involved in fulfilling the various tasks and activities associated with the chosen career.
Careers in healthcare are varied and include positions as aides, nurses, dental assistants, patient care technicians, medical transcriptionists, laboratory technicians and more. While most occupations in healthcare fall under a single umbrella term of ‘Healthcare’, there are various careers which lie outside this umbrella such as ‘Behavior modification’ and ‘Preventive medicine’. Choosing the right career path is dependent upon the requirements of the individual.
Careers which fall under healthcare involve a mix of clinical and administrative work-life balance and responsibility. Careers that involve clinical work-life balance involve assisting healthcare practitioners in planning, implementing and controlling patient care; and implementing quality measures in order to achieve this end. Administrative careers involve management of the organization’s resources, staff, budgets and targets. The best way to choose your career path depends on your aptitude, interests, skills and personality.
Careers are a vast topic that encompasses a wide variety of fields, occupations and sub-occupations. The choice of a career path depends on individuals, their preferences, and their ability to work and grow. Careers change frequently because of industry, market and social trends. As with any other change, individuals should always evaluate whether a career path is a good fit for them or not, before jumping into it.
