            The statement, “The most important consideration in choosing a career is whether the career is a fast growing career,” can be argued either way. I believe that it is not the most important choice when choosing a career.

            When choosing a career there is many things to consider including, school time, salary, how much you will enjoy, and you should consider if it is a fast growing career. I do believe that you should consider if it is a fast growing career, but I do not think it is the most important consideration. For example it could be the number one fast growing career, but you could not be getting paid what you want, you were in school for a lot longer than you would of liked to be, and you might be extremely unhappy doing that job even though it was the number one fast growing career.

            I believe the most important thing you should take into consideration is how much you will enjoy the job, and how happy you will be. You will have to do that job basically every day day in and day out, and if you do not enjoy it, then you could lead a very miserable life. I believe that if your career is something you highly enjoy, then you will be much happier. Another important aspect to consider is definitely the salary; almost everything we do in life has something to do with money…you should have a job that is going to be able to support you lifestyle. For example you will need to have a higher paying job if you have a larger family. School time is another important aspect, I want to do something in the medical field, like a doctor or pharmacist. This is going to take a lot of school time, however I believe that it will be worth it because that is a good job with great pay that I will enjoy doing. A lot of medical careers are also on the fast growing career list!
