This was the first advice given by all when i first stepped into my post graduation.
Now that i am nearing my completion and with the placement season coming to a near close, i really wonder whether everyone has really chosen their career path which they had always wanted to.
Great Yogis in their 70's are unable to decide what they like and what they need in their life, how can a youngster in his/her 20's determine what exactly he/she needs in his/her life. The needs of a young person is dynamic and that is exactly what is human nature. A person who wants to do something now may or may not regret going behind it at a later point of time.
People get lured by money more than anything else these days.
Taking the example of placements, there have been very few people who really went behind the jobs they really wanted to get into at the start of their post graduation. One of my classmate went behind a job with a higher pay package, just because her friend was getting a hefty amount. Well she is not the only exceptional case. There are many followers of money here who sat for the placement process just because they were being paid a huge salary.
More than what they want to do, it has to be how they want their life to be. There certainly has to be a trade off between power and money. Either they sacrifice their personal life and go ahead and be successful in their professional life or vice versa. Now what is that i am BS here. Nothing except that it is not always doing what you love but it is about where and how you want to position yourself in the game called life.
There may be many who might come back and say you wont get peace if you dont do the work you dont like. But just one question to them "if they are offered more money than what they are currently earning, wouldnt they really give it a thought?". Well this question is just to the more common people excluding the exceptions.
