Having a career strategy is important. It can help you to manage the direction that you want your career to take, the job skills and knowledge that you will need, and how you can get them. Also, while formulating your strategy it is important to get a mentor. Mentors are not there to do the job for you; but rather to help you reach your destination sooner. Remember that they have walked the same path, so that puts you in an advantageous situation of not having to stumble as they did.
Career growth plan
Most of our parents and even some of us, have found ourselves stuck in a rut without any career growth for a long time and this will hinder our career growth. It is important to have a career growth plan, and to set attainable targets for yourself and to be determined to achieve them.
Complacency
If you hold a good position at work, and you can afford to buy the car that you want, but the house that you have is now not good enough; the fact that you may have a good relationship with your manager is not a sufficient reason for you to get comfortable. Challenge yourself to do more and to be greater. There are so many opportunities out there, so go out and explore, for the betterment of your life and your career.
Know what you want and have a drive to get it!
Unfortunately, there are still disadvantaged schools, and the learners from these schools are the ones who are mostly faced with limited resources, which limit the learners’ access to information that will help them to plan for their future. These learners end up either not furthering their education or pursuing a career that they are not passionate about or resorting to crime or similar activities which negatively impact the country’s economy.
The right to education is a universal entitlement.
The Bill of Rights stipulates that The State, through reasonable measures, must progressively make education available and accessible to all. This right does not discriminate. It is available to both the advantaged and the disadvantaged, and therefore should be accessible for both.
