Are you Trapped in the Wrong Career?

July 1st, 2008

Should it really matter what job you get as long as it provides you with your daily needs? To me, it would not really hurt to do what ever is available as long as I am not ruining someone else’s life or creating a negative impact on humanity.

Surprisingly, this is not so to many graduates or college educated guys, who believe and swear that, they can never diminish their ability to doing anything outside their career.

One may ask if they are even so sure of the career they so arrogantly speak about. Competition to secure a placement in most public institution forces many into programs they would do not like but which they will take as long as it translates they get into tertiary learning.

As such, you may not realize this until you revisit them after they graduate from the university or college.

Investment

Investing, in itself, is not a goal; rather it is a means to achieve your financial goals. Those who want to speculate should do so with funds they can afford to lose. However, one cannot base their financial life on speculation, it is not dependable. Whenever you invest, your aim should be to move your financial agenda ahead and the easiest way to measure such progress is by checking your net worth changes. All is not lost if you don’t have the skills to select stocks yourself or the resources to attract professional asset management services. The avenue that is most practical for most people to invest in stocks that are competently selected diversified and the portfolio managed without a huge cash outlay is unit trusts.


Do not move by the wind, consult a competent financial advisor that you can trust to put your interests before their own and to point you in the right direction towards a better financial future. Become a patient and analytical long-term investor. Do not be lured by the desire to make a quick buck, it hardly ever works. As the pendulum of the stock market swings from greed to fear, it is the patient and analytical long-term investor who reaps the greatest profits.

Be wise!
