Ignore those who say, “Pick this field because it has lots of opportunities right now,” or “You will make loads of money so it doesn’t matter if you hate your job,” or “I like this career and therefore you will too.” Although they may be well-meaning, these statements are among the many myths about career choice. All ignore one important thing: your career choice is a personal decision that will have a significant effect on your life for many years. Oh, and by the way, the relationship between earnings and job satisfaction is minimal.
