Career Planning: Questions to Answer

Since the launch of Career Planning in 2015, it has become a programme in every school. It begs several questions. What is career? Is career about jobs? Is career planning targeting at particular jobs? Then, what are jobs like in the future? How possible is such targeting? Career planning tends to start with students’ interests. How much of such interests is innate?  How much is developed over time? After all, what are there beyond career that have to be prepared? How would early focus on careers matter?
