Some considerations to keep in mind when you select a career are:
- Earnings — How much money will you earn, after adjusting for things like cost of schooling, taxes, and retirement benefits?
- Enjoyment of work — How much will you enjoy your work?
- Work-life balance — How much time and flexibility will your job leave you to pursue other activities?
- Social value of work — How much will society benefit from your work?
- Exit options — How well positioned will you be to switch careers?
Careers vary a great deal on each of these dimensions.
