Thoughts on Future Careers by Tilak Chandramouli



Choosing the right career is one of the most important decisions a person can make because it can impact long-term happiness, financial stability, and personal fulfillment. This article is primarily for students with the intent of graduating college and finding a successful job that will make them happy. A successful career choice should align with your interests, values, and strengths. An example might be someone who loves solving problems and working with technology may find happiness in engineering or computer science. Self-reflection and talking to professionals in fields of interest can all help narrow down the best path for you. 

While passion and interest are key, practical considerations also play a big role in making a smart career decision. Considerations like job availability, salary expectations, and opportunities for growth also play a big role. Personally, I dreamt of becoming an athlete, especially a tennis player. However, as I grew up, I realized becoming an athlete is something that is not a realistic choice as it required lots of work at a very young age. Moreover, the competitiveness is on a whole different scale and it can cause lots of problems in my future if I am not ready. That is why I chose to find a path in engineering, particularly aerospace because space is something that I want to learn more about and the availability of jobs in the realm of Engineering has grown so much. 

Ultimately, the right career path is one that provides both stability and a sense of purpose. It should inspire any student to grow personally and professionally. Choosing a career isn’t something to rush, but by exploring your options and thinking carefully about what matters to you, you’ll be better off to make a decision that supports a fulfilling and successful future.
