Career means profession, which we want to adopt for earning livelihood, and planning means permissible flow or to make permissible decisions.
Pre- planning in our life plays very leading role in every aspect of life, to work in a permissible flow, and pre-planning for career, which we want to pursue in our future ahead after acquiring unavoidable level of degree is also very primary in today's competing world.
According to the Thorndike dictionary
"A goal that you desire to accomplish in a prime field or vocation with a well-thought out plan, to get you there is called vocation Planning."
The world is now sharp very fast, and the time has come when this meritocratic community accepts only those, having right qualification and right skills.
Olden days are gone, when just a degree would help an individual to get high profile job by giving bribe or using some other mean. Now it's high time, when the transparency in job recruitment has taken place.
Challenges and competition are the part of today's society, and therefore, vocation Planning is the only task, which can guide us to do what we want to do in our life, rather than just aimlessly changing job all the time in future.
We have seen many Pakistani, who after completing Intermediate don't know where to go, what to do and we have also seen graduates, who aimlessly do graduation without any specialization. As a result, they earns just in 6-8 figures.
Career Planning is one of the broader aspects of studying in our existence. We all have some intentions and we all think to have stability in our future lives, and for that purpose, vocation Planning serves as a key to success.
Career Planning makes a someone to think suitably about their unavoidable and negative aspects. All about their interest, about their creativity becomes potential through permissible analyzing ourselves.
Career Planning basically starts, when a someone finishes Secondary/ Higher Secondary level of education. After that level, a someone could opt for that educational degree, which would help them out to have a good job opening according to their skills at the right time.
Career Planning helps us to found and formulate our future smoothly. Like, If a someone wants to be a banker, then he or she would pick to go for Acca or Ca or Mba in finance after completing Intermediate in industry and Graduation in commerce/ firm administration.. Else he/ she would go for Cat procedure or Masters in industry or even upto doctorate level.
This pre-planning would be productive and would give him/her benefits after achieving educational targets effectively. It also helps us to value our own personality, which helps us to know that which kind of job would suit us according to our need and capabilities.
In short, vocation Planning is like mapping our future. Without permissible planning, no one could think of getting a desired job in future.
Think what we want to do and finding out more about the kind of training, education, and skills we will need to accomplish our vocation goal is the core objective of vocation planning.
It help us knowing the nature of the jobs that interest us, such as educational requirements, salary, working conditions, fringe benefits, promotion chances, future prospectus, and help us focusing in the right dimension.
Career planning directs us, motivates us, and helps us to accomplish what we want. A vocation goal is a definite foresight such as an architect or a educator or a vocation goal can be a particular field, which we want to work in, such as Media, Education, Medicine, Engineering etc.
For those who will think about their future and vocation after completing instruction without any long term desired goals are the one, whose all exertion might end in smoke.
There are some cases and situation, which bound a someone to pre-plan in advance, such like family high family firm status, lack of interest in studies or traditional job, low motivation, low financial status etc or some past educational traumas, which had made a someone to plan after wards.
Career planning is a life time process we are all the time studying and growing, and as we do, our interests and needs also change. vocation planning is not just making plans to gain our career, but it also help us to make many adjustments there will be along the ways we learn throughout our lives.
Those who have successful careers like educators, firm man, manager, pilot, architect, banker, physician etc are the one, who has made their ways through permissible guidance.
No doubt, that our parents have some wishes and expectations from us, but we have our own too. Therefore, we should also consider others opinion. For that we could take advice from an educational advisor to get better advice towards new dimensional fields as well. Teacher, professionals, vocation advice websites, Head educational consultants can also guide us, to have a better arrival for our future.
We must have relaxation of speaking and relaxation of selecting our vocation as we have to lead our lives which interest us. We must try to have an open mind in order to pick the right vocation on right time.
According to one supreme professor,
"Few of us like to opt for those degree courses, which their family or friend has advised them to adopt and this inappropriate knowledge trapped them into a great mistake and
In this way, they are unable to get good job opportunities according to their interests. Only permissible vocation advice would help an individual to be on the right path before hand. Few of us try to seek the right path and take advice from family or educator to tell them what is good for them, which vocation is in question and which vocation suits their interest."
The future is un-predictable, however, we could still make our place in this meritocratic world by making vocation goals and plans in advance, for getting better opportunities in todays pluralistic and globalize world.
We must pre-plan our goals under the management of professionals in conscious state of mind, so that we could strategically maintain our goals and effect it towards the path of successful future.
