In our last article on career development, we shared some pragmatic steps one can take in choosing a career, in which “getting to know” is one of such steps. This section will share a list of career choices every one looking to build a career should know before making a decision; even after making a decision (especially in the midst of uncertainty). 

However, it is important to know that any career choice you make is professional, whether the academic curriculum recognizes it or not, and you must treat that career with full professionalism.
