One of the hardest choices you’ll probably ever have to make is which career path you want to follow. With seemingly limitless options available to you, it can feel a little like you’re spoiled for choice while not knowing what any of your choices will really mean in the end. This article aims to help make your choice a little easier by giving context for what each of the following career paths will entail should you decide to follow them.

Programmer

There is quite the demand currently for people skilled enough with computer coding to be able to work as a competent programmer. However, these are difficult skills to acquire, and each coding language you wish to work with is something you are going to have to learn; there are no shortcuts.

Dentistry

Much like regular medicine, working to become a dentist is a long and involved task and something that doesn’t necessarily end once you become qualified. Even when you are working as a professional dentist, you will still need to take dentist equipment training and keep up to date on relevant literature so that you can provide the highest quality of care possible. You will work with patients of all ages, backgrounds, and personalities. It will be your job to keep these people happy, healthy, and working towards what is best for them.

Freelancer

Traditional work structures are not the only pathways available to you, and if you think you would be better suited to something a little more freeform, you might want to look into the possibility of working as a freelancer. You would need a service or product to sell and to establish yourself properly in terms of your taxes. However, you would also have the freedom to choose how you work and when, which can be both a blessing and a curse.

Veterinary Medicine

Many people love the idea of working with animals but fail to understand how much work actually goes into becoming a veterinarian. It takes at least eight years to become a fully qualified veterinary doctor, and then you can begin working towards securing a position as a vet within a practice or perhaps try to open your own.

Journalist

If you have a way with words and a passion for the news, then you might want to consider working as a journalist. This is one of the more popular ways to work with a writer's skillset, and it can be really rewarding work, but only if you are good at it.

Video Game Developer

Many people dream of becoming a video game developer one day and creating their own games, but what most don’t truly understand is how much work goes into the creation of a video game. From level designers to musicians to writers, there are so many different roles in creating a video game that it almost defies logic. The amount of work and craftsmanship that goes into creating games like these is intense, and you can become a part of that if it is truly what you want to do.
