WHY?
In today’s time of unlimited career and study options, we often come across school and college and sometimes even young professionals in their early twenties who often have no strong idea of the career they should follow. Choosing the right career is the first step towards that elusive job satisfaction because if you end up in a profession which does not align to your interests and ability, it can cause immense dissatisfaction. It is very important to understand that each person differs in terms of their aptitude, skills, ability and interests. Not every individual is cut out to be a doctor, engineer or a lawyer for example. Thorough career counseling helps assess a person’s interests, talents and ability.
Knowledge is power. Knowing yourself, your interests, abilities and personal goals will give you the right direction for mapping your career. You don’t want to limit your career options what people had a decade ago. Many times you want to be with your friends in the same class or college and end up picking what they are. Remember it’s you who has to do your job few years from now, not your friends. They will stay with you no matter what. Effective career guidance can help you debunk the stereotypical beliefs surrounding occupations. Remember beliefs like ‘designing’ are for girls and ‘engineering’ is for boys are as false as those beauty advertisements!
