Choosing a career path is one of the most important decisions we make on our journey through life. It affects from an economics standpoint what we can provide for ourselves, spouse, children, and others. It often determines the lifestyle we can afford, the clothes, cars, and homes we purchase.  Income, demand, growth potential, and stability are certainly important factors to consider when exploring career options.  Long term success in a career though is often determined by how we feel about our occupation. Personal happiness, satisfaction, and a sense of fulfillment on the job, are equally important when choosing a career.
