Social pressure and its impact on choosing a career(conti)

There are two types of peer pressure, and both can result in poor performance, unhappy with one's education and profession, and less than optimal job fits. It is possible that a someone possessing artistic sensibilities could have achieved success in the creative industry, but ultimately chose to become a mediocre nurse.

Analyzing the notable resistance or derision from colleagues when an individual opts for a non-conventional career route is an essential aspect to take into account. As a lighthearted illustration, colleagues who opt for more "respected" functional areas like finance or consulting regularly make fun of those who want to study foreign languages. It's a well-known joke that linguists are always acknowledged for their major responsibility.Even though it might not affect everyone, some people reconsider their choices in reaction to such disagreement or overt discouragement.

From that point on, it is imperative that educational institutions—such as colleges or schools—support career choices that better suit an individual's personality or set of skills than those of his group of peers. Access to appropriate procedures that are put in place must be simple for students seeking career aid.
