1. FOLLOWING THE
CROWD/FRIEND -
This is one of the most common mistakes which most of the students
unknowingly make. Many students just take up any
stream because their friends have decided to take that stream. This can turn
out to be the worst decision of their lives.
It is
necessary that you chose the stream which you are most passionate about rather
than doing what most of the students are doing.
2. BECOMING A
VICTIM OF SOCIETY & FAMILY OPINIONS -
Let’s
look at a common scenario.
You:
Dad, I want to take up Arts stream.
Dad:
There is no future in the Arts stream. You have to take science. Look at Sharma
Ji's son. He had taken up science stream and he is doing very well in life.
I am
sure many students would have faced this common situation. I am sure, that many
parents would have given the examples of some Sharma Ji or Gupta Ji to
influence the decision of their child. This can lead to a wrong career
decision.
There is no doubt that science is a good stream, but arts is also a
very good stream. There is no doubt about it. Which stream you will take, you
are determined, but it is not an easy task. If you are confused then, proper career guidance from an expert (career counselor), choosing a
career path after 10th will be much easier.
3. CHOOSING MONEY BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE -
Money
cannot buy inner happiness! If you pick a career based on money you won’t be
pleased and satisfied . choosing a good career which will get you excited each
morning! It will make you look forward to getting into work. Instead of getting
frustrated and dissatisfied, spend nine hours in a productive way. For money do
not wander away down a path which doesn’t suit you.
4. PICKING A CAREER PATH AT RANDOM -
Often
students do not take their career part seriously until it’s already too late!
Students opt for a course which they find easy and hassle-free! They choose it
randomly without even thinking about the coincidence! Students sometimes seek
to turn their hobby into a career without thinking things through. The
lack of flexibility and prudence could tend the career path into a career
disaster path!
We
should always think well about your career choice so that we do not face
further trouble.
5. LACK OF RESEARCH OR KNOWLEDGE -
Half Knowledge is dangerous!
Lack
of Knowledge/Research leads an individual to the following state -:
–
Finding Possibilities & Drawbacks in every field
– No
clear Futuristic Visualization
–
Trusting Random Data & Opinions
–
Building wrong belief about the Profession
–
Self-Doubts
–
Developing Non-Existing Fears
–
Choosing Profession out of random data
Choosing
right career options after 10th is very important. If we go back 10–20 years
ago, there were very few career options to choose. But now the scenario is
completely different. There are many career options available and with the help
of proper career guidance and career counselling, you can see the light at the
end of the tunnel.
