Survey:"Road to the Future"

The life of students only seems to be simple, easy-going and joyful. It can be so only on holidays and some weekends when students don’t have to prepare for their classes. All the rest of the time students have to work and sometimes to work very hard. At the same time they have to think about future life. Of course, many people chose a career path early on, studied for a particular career, and have enjoyed that career path all along. But for many people, careers evolve over time, as one career opportunity leads to another, and as they continually learn new skills and build their careers.
This survey  is aim to know about students current career plans . To answer these questions I asked the students (the age is 18-22) of different universities  about their thoughts on this topic. In this survey  took part about 100 respondents .  

The first question was «How do you feel about career planning?»

51% of students answered «Worried»
19% - «Confident»
15% - «Bored»
10% - «Ready»
5% - «Exicited»

According to the results, we can observe that the biggest part of  students are not sure, but worried about the future career. But the low percentage of students are sure. 
The next question was « Do you know what career sphere you are interested in?» The diagram will show the answers:

62% answered – «Not yet, but I am starting to think about careers»
23% - « Yes, I have one strong career goal»
15% - «No, I do not know yet what type of career I want»

Analyzing the data from the first question, it is not surprising that the majority does not have a clear position. But the good occasion is that they are starting to think about it. Also there are students who don`t ready to start thinking about plans for future developments.
In conclusion, I want to find out what is in the priority for students when they make a decision. Let`s see the results:

38% - «Money is important, but enjoyment is also have to be».
35% - «Only salary».
27% - «Definitely I have to be a professional in this sphere and I have to be interested in it.»

While choosing a career we should take into consideration all the benefits it can give us. First of all, it should be interesting, but the participants consider that money is also important. It`s difficult to disagree with it.

Draw conclusions from the survey, I can say that there are students who are uncertain about there’s future but there are others. I think it also depends on their age, because there are first-year students and graduates almost.
In my opinion, choosing the kind of career to follow is probably one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Before you make this decision you will have to do a lot of thinking about who you are, about the things you like to do and the things you do well. When deciding your future you must be realistic about your interests and abilities.
