Still don’t know what to study at university? We’re going to reveal which skills best fit each branch of knowledge so that you can begin to discover what your true vocation may be.
Before you start evaluating types of studies, you should know that the important thing is to know and evaluate yourself. It will be useless to insist on studying a career that currently has many opportunities or a great demand for professionals if your profile does not meet the requirements of the degree.
On the contrary, most likely you will end up feeling frustration and dissatisfaction with what you do … Don’t you think that something to which you are going to dedicate a large part of your life should bring you more good than bad?
How to get to know you
Although it is important that your surrounding family and friends help you orientate, you need to invest some time in yourself. We recommend that you take a pen and a paper and ask yourself the following questions:
- How is my personality? Sometimes the simplest traits denote important characteristics about what our skills are. Start with simple things, for example: do you like sports? Do you like to socialize or do you consider yourself a very reserved person? Do you think you have a special sensitivity towards art? In this way you will start to find the first clues about your profile.
- What skills do I have? We all have at least one or two skills in which we excel and they don’t have to be exactly ‘superpowers’. In which subjects do you always get the best marks? Or what are those that you learn with little effort? Do you do any extracurricular activities that you are truly passionate about?
- What are your values? Although it may not seem like it, your ethical values ​​will also influence your professional development. Think about those professions that best suit your vision of the world, your ethics and your work ‘ambitions’ because you may discover that perhaps the career path you have chosen is not the most suitable for your own ideals.
