The ever present dilemma,
pursue your dreams or buckle down to society's expectations. The
choice for some boils down to the monetary returns, as the money that
goes with the highly regarded professions can be very high and worth
the effort put in while studying at university. When you folloow your
heart's calling, your career choice might see you stuck in the middle
income group forever. It might even be worse if no one appreciates
what you do..
The arts has never been promoted as a
first choice when any student goes to carrer and jobs fairs. The
sciences are a bit better off but nothing beats the highly sought
after business and accounting degrees which can be a good stepping
stone to a more bountiful material wealth.
Some opt for a compromise and pursue a
carrer path that rewards them handsomely. These group of people use
the gains as a reserve when they decide to pursue their real life
ambitions. Others take the more difficult path of pursuing their
dreams from day one. They might make it big in the end but the
gestation period could be quite long unless they talents are
exceptional and much sought after by others.
The dilemma continues and each of us
have to decide whether the dream is worth pursuing as any hardships
along the way might be just too much to bear.
