My parents insist that they will only pay my university fees if I study medicine or law because they want the best for me. A story is told of a young man who pursued a degree in pharmacy at the behest of his parents who held long successful careers in the health industry. While the above story might be peppered with hyperbole, it is apparent that pertinent academic qualifications alone are insufficient to bequeath an individual a successful career. The recipe for career success brings together several elements, among them the right choice of career, aptitude, attitude, self-application and a nurturing environment. Bear in mind the possibility of teaching law or medicine, as every career has teachers.
