Sam’s Hangout #125 - “CAREER CHOICE: PASSION OR JOB SECURITY?"

"For the best return on your money, pour your purse into your head.” ― Benjamin Franklin."


Hello, my lovely Hive Naija people. It’s another beautiful weekend, and we’re excited to have you here once again. A new weekend simply means another chance to buzz the Hive blockchain, connect with one another, and simply have fun. You'll also agree with me that there’s something special about bringing everyone together to gist, share opinions, and enjoy good vibes. That is exactly the reason we will continue to meet every weekend.

CAREER CHOICE: PASSION OR JOB SECURITY?

Now to our discussion for this weekend! We will be discussing "CAREER CHOICE: PASSION OR JOB SECURITY?”.
Choosing a course of study is one of the first major decisions many young people make regarding their future. While some are encouraged to follow and build on their true interests and natural strengths, others are advised to choose professional courses with straightforward career paths and better job prospects. However, the realities of working an unfulfilling job and the risk unemployment has led to many asking what really should be prioritized.

Here's the question!

Do you think young people should prioritize professional courses with better job security over courses they are genuinely passionate about? If yes, how do you suggest they reconcile themselves with a career they don't love? Do you believe this choice can still lead to long-term fulfilment for them as time goes on?

OR

Should parents encourage their children to pursue the courses and careers they genuinely love, even when those paths may offer fewer job opportunities or financial security? If such support influences the children's choices, do you think their passion can eventually create unique opportunities for them later in the future? What do you suggest they do to become as successful as their peers who chose careers with better progression?

If you have a topic you would like us to discuss in our future hangouts, please feel free to suggest it to us in the comment section and tag @sam.hangout to it.

On Saturdays, we share our owanbe stories, party gists, and even pictures.

On Sundays, we reflect on the weekend and things we learnt so far, as well as share plans for the new week.

I.

To not beat around the bush, first off, I think people should consider job security, not as if it should be at the expense of what they actually love. Nah, because spending years doing something you don't love or have passion for can be draining too. I think I can call my myself an ex Corper member already, just few weeks to go and I'm done. One of the things I've learned via some of the professional courses I took was that, you can find a balance. In the sense that, if you find a secure job that you dislike, take it up, find some part of it that you enjoy, and build a skill or something around it. Also, since the job is secure, you can still keep your passion alive outside of it. And about fulfillment, I can't guarantee that, but it may come depending on how you handle it. Since you can pursue your passion outside work or can find something or a particular field you enjoy and build something around it.

II.

For parents, I would say they should allow and support their children pursue what they really love. Even if it does not look secure, they should understand that so far it is what the child has interest in, then he/she would definitely come out different. I mean, not every successful person we see today tread a safe path, some followed the path others criticized and are doing very well today. Also, not as if parents should just support them blindly, nah, they should support, advice and encourage while also making sure to make the child understand the risks involved. The child on his/her part too should know the possible risks, how to navigate through and as well learn skills that would make him/her standout in that career path he/she has chosen.

Thank you for your attention to this matter 🫡
