Career planning for future opportunitites

Abstract

The reason my first piece of guidance is to plan your career and seek advice is because that is what worked for me. When I was in high school and thinking about what I would like to so one day, I thought it would be great to be an architect. I thought it would be fascinating to design buildings such as the amazing architecture here in Astana – buildings that would stand for many decades and that millions of people talk about. I spoke to a trusted teacher at school and he asked me to do one very important thing – research the job market for architects. What I found out caused me to change my direction and is the reason I am here today.
