Pick a career that you like and that interest you rather than one that is guaranteed a high salary.
When speaking to my dad last year about what career I should pursue he told me about how he ended up being a project manager. My dad went to university and started his own surveying business in Romania after graduating. When we moved to Canada in 1994 he worked as an engineer for a construction company. He did not enjoy his career and started a job at the New Westminster city hall while going to school to become an IT manager. After many years he finally started his own company and is now working as a project manager for ICBC. This path took him almost 20 years to get to a job that he truly enjoyed. If he were to go to computer engineering school in Romania he could have become a project manager a while ago. The reason why he did not choose this path was because when he was going to school computer engineering was just starting out and he did not see this career as a way of making money. He told me that during his time his dilemma was not about choosing a career that he would enjoy, but one that would provide him with enough money to live a decent life in a communist system. For me, my career decision depends on what I enjoy doing, and once I figure that out money will come afterwards. If you pursue a job that you enjoy you will become great and by being great money will follow.
