  • Careers for all

    Women nowadays need to have a life of their own. Apart from their families. What every woman should do, married or single, is to find a vocation for herself in life.

    Something that makes her feel complete, a person in her own right. What could be better than a career or vocation she feels passionate about?

    Let's face it, there's more to life than doing your duty towards your family. You need to do your duty toward yourself too.

    What are your interests in life? Could you convert that into same kind of career for yourself? Make your hobbies work for you? Let your interests open up new vistas in life for you.

    Besides there is something truly fulfilling about having a career. Even if it isn't a conventional one. To know that there's more to you than domesticity.

    It's about making your own money. About being financially independent. About knowing you can contribute to the family income. About knowing you can take care of yourself. And most all, about chasing your dreams.

    A lot of women make the mistake of giving up their careers when they get married. Only to rue it years later. While we agree families are all important and children should never be neglected, we firmly believe that every woman should do what she can for herself. And for her career.

    Early motherhood leaves little time for anything else. There isn't anything much that you can do during those demanding times.

    But keep yourself informed about what is happening in your chosen field. New demands, new technology or new systems may have crept in. Don't remain ignorant of these changes. It doesn't pay to cut yourself off totally from your career.

    When your toddler is off to play school, try to rebuild your contacts with the business world. See if you can do little projects for them every now and then. Offer to work from home.

    This way you'll always have a foothold in the industry.

    When your children attend full time school and get to be more independent, maybe you could try for a part time job. You may not make a lot of money right then. It may even seem not worth the trouble you're putting yourself through. But it will open up vistas in the future. And the future is what you need to keep watching for.

    For someday, you might want to have your own life again. Might want to help augment the family income.

    You may even have to fend for yourself. And then, you will be glad that you were savvy enough to do plan for it.

    It gives you a calm secure feeling to know that you can cope and make a life for yourself socially and financially. It gives you an enriched feeling!

    Some women manage to lead active and fulfilling lives. But these are women who have worked at their career, their quality of lives and their bank balances.
