There are various factors due to which a student either fails to get a good career option or selects a different course looking at the current trends irrespective of his interest.
1. Lack of Guidance: Without the proper career guidance while in school, the student is not going to get the valuable opportunity in order to learn all the different choices that are available based on their interests.
2. Financial Conditions: It is not an uncommon issue for students to work on choosing their careers while there is a poor financial condition. There are a lot of expenses that all students will have to handle when they enroll or register for any type of college.
3. Fear of Failure: As a young college student, it is normal to be a little bit scared of failing. In that regard, you may make some bad decisions in the hopes of avoiding that failure, but these will make it more difficult to find the life that you want.
These are the common problems but there are many more that can be discussed.
