Myths around the RIGHT career by Veda Sunassee
1. If you don't know what your career is going to be, your parents don't know any better
2. Being a doctor is not the only career
3. Learn to learn. Your generation is much likelier to reskill and upskill over your journey than to remain the same career
4. Employers in the 21st century care about skills than a university degree
