Hello everyone, in this article I will discuss a topic that will help students who are confused about their careers. However, the point I will discuss here will also benefit people of all ages, especially when making decisions. Students are commonly too confused about what path they will have to choose after the 10th grade. In this article, I will try to guide them to help them choose what is better for them. First of all, I want to emphasize that science, humanities, and commerce are not the only options. If you do not want to choose between these, you can find other career options too, but you have to go against the crowd. Here are some points that will help you make the right choice.
Ask yourself:
If you are confused about choosing your career, ask yourself these questions:
- What do you want?
- What are your parents' expectations?
- Where do you see your future?
- What does the current situation demand?
- Is there any way that fulfills all the conditions?
- Where do you see your future?
- What does the current situation demand?
- Is there any way that fulfills all the conditions?
Nothing is impossible:
Nothing is tough or easy; you only make it that way. This means that studying well will make it easier for you, and if not, it will seem difficult. But that does not mean that you will never understand it. If you keep on studying, you will eventually understand. Nowadays, skill development is much more necessary than regular studies. Once you have developed your skills properly, it will help you in selecting the right stream.
Make plans:

Make plans:
Always have a Plan B for Plan A. Although having a backup plan is always better, if you are doing excellent in Plan A and it aligns with your goals, then stick to Plan A. If you think other options will divert you from your aim, then kindly leave and stay with your original plan. Many students think they will do higher studies and do not want to think about future prospects, but studies show that the best time for assessing your interests is now. Therefore, it's better to plan for your career after the 10th.
Talk to someone:
Talk to your close teachers, parents, friends, siblings, and if necessary, even relatives. Their thoughts about you will help you think about career options. Many students think that people who do not know about education cannot suggest anything useful. However, you must always look up to your elders as they have better experience in life than you. They too have passed this stage in their life, and their professional courses and experience will help you think about different career options.
Take decisions:
It's your first decision, so don't go with the flow or blindly follow your friends' suggestions. Always listen to everyone's suggestions and find proper reasons to accept or disobey them. You don't know whose words will affect what you want to do. As everyone says, don't decide in a bad mood or a rough situation. Always be patient in tough times, like the Hindi phrase 'samundar ke lahro k bich badha nhi karte, kuch der intezar krne se raasta mil jata hai.' You don't need to jump into the job market or any 9 to 5 job type. You can create your job, as our honorable Prime Minister Ji said, "Don't wait for a job; always try to create one." There are many other career options as well, such as skill-based education, where you can enhance your skills to find your career path.
Conclusion:
In this article, I've tried to provide guidance to help you choose your career path and improve your life. Lastly, if you have a solid reason and enough confidence, you can choose a path that goes against your parents' expectations. However, it's important not to blindly follow your parents' advice. If you're still unsure about what to do, it's best to listen to your parents because they know you better than anyone.
