• Consider following ten commandments of career:
1. Choosing a career is simple2. A career counsellor (or anyone close to you) can tell

Cont’d…
Choosing a career
Rizwan Khan
• Ten commandments of career: (cont’d from previous slide)
7. If I change careers my skills will go to waste8. If my best friend (or sister, uncle, or neighbour) is
happy in a particular field, I will be too9. All I have to do is pick an occupation... Things will fall
into place after that10. There's very little I can do to learn about an occupation
without actually working in it
