Things to consider when choosing a university degree

Introduction

Choosing a career is a very important thing for anyone looking to study at a university. Before you decide which college you will study it is best to start by knowing what profession you want to study. 

So it is good to start by thinking about what you want to be. This means, start by thinking about who you want to be? You can be a teacher, a telecommunications specialist, an accountant and so on .

Knowing who you want to be will make you think about things as to what your future job will be. This will make you study with goals while knowing exactly what responsibilities you will face after graduating from college. 

Do not choose a profession under the pressure of anyone or anything. Your choice of profession should be made at your own discretion so that you know what will happen in front of you. Choosing a profession that interests you will make you better. 

There are some important things to consider when choosing a profession. In this short article I will explain in detail what those things are. 

Evaluate your abilities

When you want to choose a profession start by looking at your strengths in the subjects you have studied before, for example if you have studied science, look at your ability in those subjects and their contribution to the discipline you hope to study. 

When you want to choose a profession, there are always criteria set by the college in English called "entry qualifications". Always keep the lessons and achievements expected from the relevant subject. Now when I say check and evaluate your abilities I mean that you may have successfully met the criteria to study a particular profession but if you evaluate yourself you see completely, your ability in those subjects which is as an entry into the profession is still low or you probably got that achievement by chance. Let me just tell you the truth, your ability in those subjects which are shown as "entry qualifications" is very important in making you see the ease in studying the profession you want to study. It is therefore very important to make the right choices based on your strengths, so that you do not end up in your studies (discontinuation), although there are other factors that can also lead to failure.

Look at the job market / self-employment

When considering a career, consider also the future job market or ease of self-employment. Once you know what you want to study, it is best to go through various job websites to see if what you want to study, there are job opportunities.
But also look at the country's policies on employment. We have seen in the past that people who were studying to be teachers, have been sure to get jobs, but now things have changed. Recently the government has shifted the system of hiring teachers and we have seen, most of the teaching staff are those who have studied science teaching. It is therefore important to monitor the dynamics of the country's policies regarding employment and compare it with what you want to study. 

Create a self-employed mindset

You can choose a profession by looking at the opportunities available. This will be possible if, before you decide to pursue a career, you have an idea of ​​self-employment. This will make you think about professions that will enable you to become self-employed. An example is the many professions of information and communication technology have become a very good way for many young people to become self-employed. There are so many opportunities that come from this information and communication profession. Apart from this profession, there are many more, the important thing to keep in mind is the opportunities in the field you want to study will make you a good career choice.

Look into study costs

There are people who have aspired to study certain professions but are stuck on the road because of lack of funds to fund those professions.

You can first look at the country's policies on student empowerment. For example, in our country of Tanzania, there is a higher education credit board, which provides loans to university students. It is advisable before you choose a profession to look at, getting a loan for the profession you want to choose. There are priority programs offered on credit, so check out, which profession you want to choose is a priority!

Examine the education guide in the respective colleges (prospectus) 

In universities, there is a guide called prospectus in English, which is intended to describe the subjects taught in the respective disciplines. It is good to read this guide to find out exactly what you are going to encounter as you study the profession you have chosen. This guide is often found on university websites. So once you know the profession you want to study it is important to look now at which colleges offer that profession, and most importantly go through the guidelines for those colleges to find out what discipline you intend to study is made up of.

Study anything

When it comes to studying any profession, do the same. Education is a very basic thing, although there are times when you find yourself chosen to study a profession that you are basically not interested in. I beg you, do not make the decision to drop out of college simply because the only profession you want is that you have not been able to study. The fact is that no profession is lost in vain, invest energy in studies, look at the opportunities available in the relevant profession. 

Conclusion

It is important to have time to think before you decide to study a particular profession. The things I told you above should work, so that you can be successful in your profession.
