You can probably come up with lots of excuses for not making a decision:

Making A Career Decision a. “I’m too young to make such an important decision. Besides, I’ve still got plenty of time. I’m not even out of school yet.” b. “I need to think about it some more. A person shouldn’t make this kind of decision overnight. It takes time.” c. “Nothing sounds good to me. No career really interests me.” d. “I don’t think I’m skilled or talented enough to do what I want to do. I’d never make it. Somewhere along the line I’d fall flat on my face.”

Making A Career Decision 5. Put your excuses aside & focus on the career choice that is right for your future. 6. Even if you make some mistakes, it is better to make them then to do nothing.
