This is one of the common questions being asked by parents
and students who want to develop career in today’s world
where without a proper education you are no where. Lakhs
of students appear for Board examination every year and this
question looms large on their minds as well as their parents.
If students or parents do not get proper guidance or come
under the influences of what others do, than under such
wrong career decision they end up with mess and spoil the
child’s career. According to my experience in the field of
education let me tell you what are this wrong influence career
decisions which leads to spoiling a child’s career...
Career chosen based on what others say:
Here the influencing factors are relatives, friends and
neighbours. Just like my neighbours ask everyone for
guidance in the same way many of our Thiya parents asks
their family, friends, neighbours and relatives which may not
be always correct for your child. What answer parents
receives are normally “My son did engineering and now he
is earning a handsome salary”. “After HSC my nephew joined
Computers field as there is a big demand for computers in
the future so you can take up a course in Computers” etc.
I am not saying don’t ask anyone about your child to do what
other are saying. After all it is your child who is going to face
future situation based on his/her decision so find out the right
interest and aptitude of your child.
Career choice based on friend’s choice:
After spending 10 years of schooling
many students feel that they will
remain with their friends forever, So
they intend to join the career what the
friends are going to do. But in this case
the career chosen may not be suited
as the level of the student is not up to
the required marks.
Wrong notions : People still under wrong notions even in this
fast expanding world, they think that Medical and Engineering
studies are highly prestigious. Many times it has been seen
that parents want their child to take up Science after SSC
irrespective of whether he / she would be able to cope up with
its syllabus or not. Even students getting low percentage in
SSC are admitted to Science colleges. This results into a
failure and then dropouts and finally switches over to either
Commerce or Arts stream.
Career based on Scholarship : Certain organisations just to
show their welfare activities adopt children for one year and
make the poor family feel that they will take responsibility of
their wards for the succesive years. They influence their
children to take medical or other expensive courses but after
one year, such organisation never come forward to take care
of the same students, which results to dropout of those
students due to lack of funds to pay their second year or
successive year fees. I am not saying that don’t avail for
scholarships but if any organisation adopts your ward then
see to that such organisations are genuine.
Choosing a career is a multi step process, before concluding
from your side try to find out your child about his/her best
aptitude, interests. If you are still not able to satisfy then
attend Seminars for career guidance after SSC / HSC which
many Schools arranges for their students or even many
private organisations arranges in their suburb. Go and attend
those seminars. Try to meet teachers as they are the best
ones to know about your child’s skills and capacity, finally
don’t hesitate to go in for career counseling, as it will be
beneficial for your child in the later stages of life to pursue
or go in for higher studies.
Most of the students I have seen go in for Engineering as
a career, but are confused as to start the career with Diploma
or HSC. I would suggest them if engineering is to be done,
then directly do diploma after 10th is good option. Engineers
having diploma background have an extra advantage in
career as they spend 6 years in engineering field as
compared to HSC + Engineer who spend 4 years in
engineering field. Also after HSC, getting into a better
engineering course is very tough as it requires very high
percentage in HSC and then very good percentile in CET.
As compared, after diploma, if you have better percentage
in last year, you get direct admission to 2nd year of
engineering and thus you are saved from dreadful 1st year
of engineering which is considered as the toughest year in
any engineering course because there is a drastic change
in the pace of study from HSC to engineering.
My best wishes to Thiya Students for their progressive
venture in career decision.
