Personal development Essay
Personal development and success are often, if not usually, tied up with a successful and satisfying career or careers. This means that career development is a key element to a self improvement program, whether for an adult or young student; even for a mature student. Do you agree or disagree? Why?            Career development is a key, if not central part of every individual’s growth. It is an aspect of humanity which should necessarily follow and apply where ‘growth’ and ‘development’ of a person is concerned. I believe it holds great significance to an individual not only because it defines the individual’s identity in terms of where he or she stands in society, but because it will also influence and perhaps dictate an individual’s personal or private life to the detriment or development of it. Career development should then be pursued if one is expected to grow holistically and lead a satisfying life. Is it important to have particular strengths and skills in a particular career or is destiny more important?            Both are important in every aspect of life, but more so in every career. Having particular strengths and skills and working hard in honing them is important in school, the workplace, and the rest of society. Opportunities and fortunate turn of events which work to our advantage are also important, and should be acted upon, but jumping in an endeavor without the proper skills and aforementioned strengths can only bring people so far, or not bring them anywhere at all. Strength and skills, as well as the instance of good fortune holds great significance in every career, and contribute to its development. Do you feel most people are stressed and unhappy with their jobs? Why do you think so many people work at jobs they really have no interest in and/or may actually hate?            ‘Work’ isn’t supposed to be fun, at least not conventionally. People do what they can to get by, to earn tax dollars and involve themselves in the dreary drag of work they dislike or even hate, day in and day out in the hopes of finding a more satisfying and fulfilling job, to retire young, and enjoy the rest of what life has to offer. Unfortunately most of us get caught in ‘transitional’ jobs which we end up doing for the greater extent
