As suggested by the title, should fresh grads choose a job of a particular field, and learn and strive all the way to excel in that field? Or should they simply get any jobs offered?

I'll graduate soon. I prefer network/IS/Security development/maintenance rather than software/web development. Should people job-hop with jobs of different fields, and end up knowing things, but not in-depth, in many fields? Or should people only choose jobs of a particular field and strive to be a top-notch player of that field?

try hunting for that passionate job within a month while also being aware of the other positions your application allows you to undertake. it's good to be a specialist in a certain field but with the ease of being diverse in many things and the mentality of a third world country, there isn't any point being a specialist unless you're acknowledged by the system here.

you'd be better of starting with something you love or at least trying to get it then not trying at all. like i said, if within a set period of time you're still jobless then it's up to you to decide whether or not to try something you might be averagely well at but will have no problem training in it.

after all, an extra skill learnt is beneficial any time. smile.gif
