Choose a Right Career
To choose a right career and to be satisfied with it the following things are important:

• Interest in the career you are choosing.
• Aptitude–which is the innate potential to do well in that field. For example everybody cannot paint and sing well. A successful painter has to have the inborn talent to do painting without which he can never succeed in his profession. Aptitude comes first, then followed by training in that field.
• Intelligence to grasp the art of working quickly.
• The type of personality to do well in the job, for example, to succeed as a good marketing executive, the individual needs to have the knack of convincing people as well as the ability to communicate well.
• Money to pursue the course.

As such, to succeed in any profession, having an interest and an aptitude for that profession is the most important thing followed by intelligence and personality. For some professions like psychology, marketing–oriented jobs, advertising etc that call for a knack of understanding and communicating effectively with people, it is very important.
