Why Your First Career Choice Does Not Have to Be Permanent
A first career choice is a starting point, not necessarily a lifelong contract.
People learn through experience
Education; internships; projects; employment; failure; success; relationships; changing responsibilities. That learning can reveal that a particular career is a strong fit, a partial fit, or a poor fit.
Skills transfer
The skills developed in one career can also transfer into another.
The practical mindset
Make the best informed decision you can with the evidence available, then keep learning.
Better career decisions come from combining self-understanding with evidence about real opportunities.
