What!! Are you planning to pursue the
same B.Tech, MBBS, B.Ed and other such stereotypical courses after completing
your school? Well then! You will only become yet another engineer, doctor and
teacher who would then spend ample time to find a decent job for yourself. But
is it that you really want to do! Do you not think of stepping out of the
league and pursuing something different? Something unusual and not so common!
If so, then I would say that you are thinking in the right direction. It is
time that you pursue something distinctive that would open doors of career
opportunities for you. Here’s why you should stop pursuing just another
stereotypical course.
Diverse
Variety of Courses
Times have gone when every household
either had one doctor or one engineer. Today there are a series of courses for
students to choose from. All you need to know is your field of interest and you
can pick up your desired course. Fashion Designing, Bachelors in game design,
Bachelors degree in Ecotechnology and other such fascinating courses exist
that hold a great career prospect for you in the future. So, there is no need
for you to pursue the same stereotypical course.
Better
Ways to Explore Yourself
With a series of different courses comes
a series of opportunities to explore oneself. You can go for anything you like.
For instance, if you love clicking pictures you can pursue a course in
photography, if you enjoy traveling you can pursue a course to become a travel
guide, if you want to become a journalist you can pursue journalism and so on
and so forth. Hence, as I told you earlier, you will get a clearer gist of what
you are actually meant to be.
Reduces
Career Prospects
Following the same monotonous affair of
becoming the same old Jane and doing the same old study sounds too boring. With
every second child pursuing the same degree, the value of the course also
decreases and so does the value of the student doing the course. As more and
more students pile on the same course, it gives birth to more and more
universities offering the same course and this reduces the significance of the
degree. Whereas, if you pursue a different course there is not much traffic and
your chances of learning and becoming successful are more.
Increases
Competition
As a maximum number of the population is
running behind the stereotypical degrees, it becomes important to excel in the
field to gain some prominence. That is a little difficult as with more people
comes more competition. So, why not choose a path less trodden by to shape your
destiny. A new path would, of course, have more difficulties but these
difficulties will help you achieve success.
So, what are you still thinking! Just
break the line and choose a career or filed that interests you. For success
will only come your way when you enjoy the work you have chosen for yourself!

Very good points there. I've spoken to numerous teens about career aspirations and most boys say they'd be interested in IT/Computer Science, but usually they think they'll be putting the finishing touches to the next Call of Duty, hate maths, and have never coded. So I think crap career guidance has a lot to answer for.
ReplyDeleteI would think a lot of students might decide differently about their choice of degree if they got 2 things;
1. detailed data on average salaries they could expect over the course of their resulting career.
2. Some work experience in the specific sectors they are interested in working in - even a week would serve as a massive reality check for most kids who (understandibly) might not realise the humdrum existence they are signing up for!
helpful for many students.............
