a plan is good, sometimes you do not get what you want, because you can not able financially, or because of discrimination, but you can do your best to get the solution for your life,

Well said

Great post Andrew Seaman, thank you. I genuinely believe going through your career without a plan is like driving a car without a destination in mind. I appreciate that sometimes there are detours, traffic jams meaning it take us longer to get there or points where you change your mind about the destination. All of these things happen but not having a plan I truly believe doesn't give you the opportunity to really recognise and acknowledge the progress that you've made. This can be dangerous as we won't recognise the journey and all the little steps that we've achieved. Having a plan also allows you the space to visualise what you want and dream about what is really possible. I think the plan has key elements that help you map out this journey - the fundamental basis for it being really knowing your WHY.

In career planning most of the youth just search a JOB OPPORTUNITY and not a WORK OPPORTUNITY. Everyone can create two types of Values: Subjective values and Objective values. Subjective Values are values which don't have a physical shape like your Knowledge, experience, creativity, talent etc. Objective values have a particular physical shape. When you are planning your career just introspect which type of value you can create. You may find many work opportunities. You can sing, can write, can dance, can create a drawing, can analyze data, can drive, can speak and so on. But if you go to search a job you'll find it difficult. Therefore my suggestion is to plan your career on the basis of values you can create not on the basis of job opportunities available.

So many diverse and wise perspectives for a very important topic, one size does not fit all. When I ran 'world of work modules' for students about to go into high school in NZ, 11-13 yr olds, we had a map of their school and outer reaching suburbs, and each and everyone had a different way to go to get to their school destination. This thread reminds me of this exercise.

I think we all need to find answers What we want and Why. Plan short term and dream big. Know your strength, what you like doing and learning in 3-3 months, this year. If something does not work, correct your plan and keep going.

I firmly believe in taking a proactive approach to your career. Laying out a rough plan is certainly helpful. I would caution against getting too detailed in your plan. There is no way you can plan for: ?? Economic downturns ?? Industry-specific corrections or disruptions ?? Company-specific performance, etc. Your career will likely contain ups and downs, accelerations and slow downs. That's ok! However, if you lay out a plan, intentionally develop your skills, remain flexible & seek out mentors the overall trajectory of your career will be net positive. ?? When I decided to be proactively involved in my career's path and speed I noticed not only an increase in my compensation but an overall sense of accomplishment and feeling of pride. All the best!

Building a career without a plan will lead to missed opportunities and complacency. But the plan must allow for some risk. Sometimes, you need to shift or change lanes to reach a new, exciting level of career happiness.?
