Taeyoun’s Answer

Simple answer is no, You can always change your career and job as you learn more about different career fields. However, you will need to put in time and effort when you do want to change career fields to prove your qualification. With the modern technology and the help of internet, there are many online tools to help you to change your career/job anytime. So, don't be afraid that you are going to be stuck with one career/job your whole life.

I suggest you try different extra curricular activities when you are young to explore other career opportunities. This will help you to narrow down on what you want to do in the future.

Hope this helps.

Lucie’s Answer

I think a good way to answer your question is: Do not think of a career path as something where you will be locked in forever. What you like now might be very different from what you will like 10 years from now.
There are always side path and career changes possible, a good saying is: "when there is a will, there is a way"; if the career path you have chosen turns out to not make you happy, learn something new, try something new, make the switch!

Life is full of opportunities.

Hope this helps,
Cheers

Jay’s Answer

Joe,

I do not think there is a definite answer to that question. I think that you can definitely become your career, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. People grow and change, and if your growth brings you closer to your job, then that could also increase your affinity to that role.

On the other hand, it is also a chance for you to bring your career closer to you. As you become an expert in your field, and in your company, you have the option to influence and change that role and company from the inside.

I think the key thing to remember is that if you see yourself becoming something that you are not comfortable with, that there are always options and you are not always cemented to any one career.

Best of luck

Rebecca’s Answer

I had continued to change my career plan when I was young . When I was in high school, I chose to take the major in engineering in my tertiary education and finally entered computer science in engineering faculty. I have started my career in Information Technology. However, I have offered opportunities and exposure in business and finance. Now, I am working as a banker.
I would suggest you to choose the subjects you are most interested as your major in tertiary education. However, it should not become the constraints on what career you will on in the future. You may have different opportunities on different areas when you start working. Follow your mind what you want to do.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Simeon’s Answer

I didn't end up in the career I was originally looking to get into with pastoral work, but I got a great opportunity working in audit using my business background. Most people have a winding career path with a lot of bends and stops along the way.

Bob’s Answer

Joe Z,

Great question. Follow your heart, passion, and drive. I wouldn't worry, stress, or think twice about your question. It's really about you capturing each day, week, and month with your focus on the current choice you've made. I've seen, attorneys, doctors not following a traditional path but very happy in the choices made!

So carpe diem and win daily (learn from your failure- it's still winning daily)!
