College and Your Career

Our educational background helps shape the career choices we make later on in life. If you studied teaching in college, it’s perfectly natural to want to teach others in the future. Engineering students go on to build bridges and buildings, while economics graduates continue on to study the supply and demand dynamics. After all, university tuition fees are expensive and you want to make sure you get the most out of your college education.

But what if you find yourself wondering if this is the right career choice for you? After all, not everyone knows what they want to do with their lives straight out of high school.

Career Coach versus Life Coach

A career coach is a professional that is utilized to help a person realize and possible re-adjust their career paths. As the economic climate an the job market keep changing, career coaching is being called upon more then ever. Typically a career coach will start by taking the time to analyze what a client has accomplished so far in their education and in their job experiences. A career coach will also take some time to get to know their client so they can understand the personality and temperament of the client. By focusing on different attributes of a client, the career coach will then use their experience to help formulate a plan of action that will help the client either change careers, or move up the career ladder of their current position by developing a solid career development plan.

In comparison a life coach is a bit different although there are some areas that are very similar to that of a career coach. Usually a career coach is more specific in the focus of the client in regards to just career matters. A life coach will assist in areas that are more vast. For example a life coach will help a client realize additional aspects of their experiences to date that have nothing to do with just career. A life coach can be instrumental in helping a client work on ways to better their overall communication skills in relationships as well as in the workforce. A life coach may help a client form better parenting skills, or better money management skills. A life coach can even be instrumental in helping a client deal with grief or procrastination issues.

Ideally a career coach that has both of these areas of expertise would be the best choice for a person who needs additional career and professional guidance. There are companies like RDG Careers in Toronto that have on staff professionals that can address both areas simultaneously. It follows that a well rounded career attitude goes hand and hand with positive achievements in other areas of life.
