When we were young, we already had an idea of what we want to be when we go grow up. Sometimes, these changes as the years go by. While there are advantages in whatever profession we choose, we should also look at the disadvantages if this for instance will be a career in financing.
No longer is it enough to cruise through your work without chasing the most you can get on a daily basis. No longer is the normal superannuation contributions enough. No longer will the average superannuation savings finance your lifestyle in your retirement.
First of all, you have to gain a teacher's education degree certification. Especially if it is a public school that you want to apply into, the certification is always required. If you are a graduate of any bachelor's degree that is not related to teaching, then you might want to apply in a private school. You can find training courses in some universities and colleges, or even online. That way, you can prepare before you enter the teaching career.
Lets talk about some obvious benefits. More times than not your payment on your new car will be less on a lease than it will on a finance. Your contract term will be shorter generally 24, 36, 48 months on a lease vs. 60, 66, 72 months even 84 months on a finance. This requires a lot less of a commitment on your part and I recommend not going over a 36 month lease, anything more and it kind of defeats the purpose. So what's all this mean to you? Less out of your pocket, maybe a nicer car than you could normally afford, or a new car every 2 to 3 years. At view more the very least a few more options that many people would love to have had, if this had been explained up front and they were given the option.
Before that finance career moment I honestly never thought about it. Preparing for that speech gave me a wonderful opportunity to reflect. What I realized I had been doing all those years, almost subconsciously, was leveraging the skills I was learning in my personal life at work as well as vice versa - leveraging the skills I was learning at home in my professional life.
During this time, onlookers may have thought I didn't have what it took to 'hold down a job', but my career goals are very different to theirs! You see, I want control over my career and my future. For me, working is about learning new things, challenging myself and meeting new people. My career is NOT about earning enough money to be able to maintain repayments on all my debts. If I look around now I see a lot of friends who are in fine jobs with fine pay but are they enjoying what they do? No, they are not. Am I? Yes, you bet I am.
Doing some research and getting your feet wet will probably give you an idea of how things are like working in the finance industry. This is what on the job training or internships are for so you know what its like in the real world. With this information, you can then see if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for you to purse a career in financing.
