Because of the advancements in different fields, a number of career options are available to an individual today which makes choosing career a more difficult task.

In order to be successful in career it is important to satisfy the needs and aspirations of a person. Motivating factors that need to be given due attentions in the choice of a career are:

a) Interest: Interest in the career of one’s choice is of paramount importance because it lays the foundation for achieving good results and deriving maximum pleasure and satisfaction in the pursuit of a profession. In its absence, a person may feel like a square peg in a round hole and may not be able to carry on for long in that profession.
b) Monetary Gain: Desirable monetary gain or return is required these days, in choosing a career. Such gains work as incentives and poor, monetary benefits cannot keep the interest of a person alive for a long time in a career.
c) Ideal of Service: In a career of one’s choice a person may not get desired monetary benefits but an ideal of service to the profession chosen with moderate income can help a person in sailing through without feeling unhappy. Such an attitude can help a person in making valuable contribution to the career of one’s choice.
d) Comparison of Advantages and Disadvantages: In the choice of a vocation, it is desirable to make a list of advantages and disadvantages of each occupation before making the final choice. After a careful evaluation of such factors, one should take a decision regarding the vocation of his life. In arriving at the final decision, a person will definitely have to study him as well as the vocation.

So, I think that the above ways will help you in choosing a better career. And remember that your life will give you many chances, so think more on the above ways (specially the last one).
