Studies have shown that there has been a steep rise in the number of people who are unhappy with the job that they are doing, which has led to employment and career shifts that are causing unnecessary stress on individuals. Many of these people took up a career because it was a popular choice in their peer group or because they received expert advice from a senior or a family member but have yet to think about the impact the career would have on their lives. They needed to understand whether their interests and skill sets aligned with the work they would do. They never understood the pros and cons of the career, nor did they know the entire scope and demands of the profession.Success in any field comes with dedication and effort, which will only materialize if we like doing what we do in our jobs. Career counseling is handy here because it helps us match our expectations with our skills and find a career that suits our ambitions.
