The Career Decision Trap: Informed Choice vs Influenced Choice

Most students don't choose a career they inherit one, from family expectations, social pressure, or whatever's trending. In this episode of "Informed vs Influenced Career," we sit down with Ashish to unpack the difference between making a career decision based on real information versus one shaped by outside influence and how to tell which one is actually driving your choices. We talk about the common traps students fall into, how to spot influence disguised as advice, and practical ways to build a more informed decision-making process whether you're picking a stream, a college, or a first job. 🎙️ This is part of a 6-episode series exploring how students and young professionals can make clearer, more confident career decisions. 👉 Subscribe for the rest of the series and more career guidance content from Simplifying Skills.
