Imagine you could travel back in time…
Many individuals find themselves in recruitment by chance. However, if you excel in this field, you can quickly start earning impressive sums—often significantly more than your friends. Because of this, even if it’s not your passion, stepping away can be challenging.
So here’s my question: If you could have a conversation with your younger self, would you recommend steering clear of recruitment? If yes, what would you suggest they pursue instead?

That’s an interesting question! If I could go back in time, I think I would advise my younger self to explore a wider range of interests before settling into recruitment. While it’s true that recruitment can be lucrative and rewarding, it often demands intense pressure and long hours, which can lead to burnout if it’s not a passion.
I would encourage my younger self to pursue experiences that align more closely with personal interests and values. Perhaps exploring roles in areas like project management, marketing, or even creative fields would have been worth considering. I think gaining exposure to different career paths can help in making a more informed decision in the long run.
Ultimately, it’s important to assess what you truly enjoy and what drives you, rather than just focusing on the financial aspect. Finding a career that brings satisfaction and fulfillment can lead to long-term happiness and success, rather than staying in a field just because of the pay.
