Working women have dual responsibilities to earn income and look after their families. Choosing a career can be very tough so you have to contemplate a lot while deciding. You must choose a career, which not only benefits you monetarily but also helps you in meeting your family obligations. Here, we discuss 10 most favored career options for women in Pakistan, which can help you decide which suits you best.
1. Medicine
It not only is considered the most noble profession but also very vast and challenging. It can further be divided in to 4 subfields i.e. doctor, nursing, teaching medicine and pharmacy.
DOCTOR: nothing compares to like saving a life. Very tough field indeed as it not only requires extensive hard work but also for a lot of years.
As truly said, hard work bears sweet fruit, after getting your degree and getting registered, you can do your private practice which gives you power over your time. If you want to be associated with a hospital and still want to keep your family your top priority you always have a choice to go for fields which don’t deal with emergencies like radiology, skin specialization, BDS, laboratory analyses, etc.
NURSING: women by nature are very empathetic and compassionate and this profession suits them well. Girls, who due to one reason or the other, can’t pursue higher education after matriculation can always do courses in nursing and can work in government and private hospitals which can give them good pay with other benefits or they can work with a private practicing doctor depending on their needs.
TEACHING MEDICINE: there are so many private and government medical colleges in our country. If somehow you don’t see yourself as a practicing doctor, then you can always join the teaching field giving you flexing working hours.
PHARMACY: if you are interested more in effective use of drugs and reviewing of medicines, you can always opt for pharmaceutical studies. A good challenging field with lot of research work involved.
