I like history and culture, what career should I choose?

- Hello. According to your letter, you have studied tourism business administration and have a certificate of domestic tour guide, I assume that you have already had an orientation for your career. However, you are still wondering about choosing a career, which is understandable because choosing a career is always one of the most important choices for each person.

To determine the right career for yourself, first of all, honestly answer the question: What major subject did you love and are passionate about the most during your studies? With this answer, you can determine about 70% of your career.

In the tourism industry, you can refer to the positions that employers often post, from there make the most suitable choice for yourself. Once you have chosen the career you love, you should set up a career path in many stages to easily strive.

Loving Vietnamese culture and history is a strong point for you to develop your domestic tourism career. However, you also need to supplement foreign languages, maybe a second degree (English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese...) or a certificate to have a good start as well as develop your career later. Besides, you also need to learn more about the culture, history and people living in that land and using that foreign language.

When starting a career, everyone is concerned about their lack of experience. But experience does not come naturally, it will come to you every day through extracurricular experiences, school essays, or part-time jobs. You should start with the most basic jobs to hone your skills and knowledge. That way, your future path will be solid and have more opportunities for development.

I wish you find your own path and success with that choice!
