My Career is for ME to know, Not YOURS.

With the recent NCAE or the National Career Assessment Examination whereas the Department of Education is giving a national examination to the juniors around the Philippines just to tell what career they could possibly take. For me, seriously, I think it’s only a waste of time and effort to me because I already have made up my mind on what career I would take so why would I take this test in the first place. And this simply takes away our liberty in what to take. If one student has chosen to be a doctor and he himself knows that it’s the career he is destined or the real job best fitted for him and yet the test made him take law and he thinks it’s best to take the what the assessment test told him to take, isn’t that unfair and unreasonable. It’s not that I despise the concept of giving student assessment on what job they should take even though they know what is job is best for them. Yet since not everyone has chosen a preferred course to take after high school so maybe it has some benefits. But how sure is this test to tell what career if fit to be given to a student.  And how sure is this test that the student would follow the assessment, what if the students choose a different career, a different path. There is also no certainty that the assessment would be followed by the student. Well since I’ve decided what profession I would want to take, so the NCAE is not that important to me, but to others it could be. So to me the NCAE is not important but only a waste of time and effort.
