The important question here is not the choice of colleges but whether the chosen subject is right for the student or not, whether a few years later will still be enjoying that profession. There are many examples we come across where bright students from IIT have left jobs and continued with a profession of their passion.<br>It gives us a big question of how to select a profession so that we love it.<br>

What is career counselling Your career development is a lifelong process that, whether you know it or not, actually started when you were born! There are a number of factors that influence your career development, including your interests, abilities, values, personality, background, and circumstances. Career Counseling is a process that will help you to know and understand yourself and the world of work in order to make career, educational, and life decisions. Career development is more than just deciding on a major and what job you want to get when you graduate. It really is a lifelong process, meaning that throughout your life you will change, situations will change, and you will continually have to make career and life decisions. The goal of Career Counseling is to not only help you make the decisions you need to make now, but to give you the knowledge and skills you need to make future career and life decisions.
Today, out of multiple confusions before the students, this question remains always on top. There are instances where in spite of passion and the excellence, students bow to the pressure of parents and select a profession of their (parent’s) choice. The result is strained relationship, a bitter atmosphere in the family and average performance of the child.
We come across a number of such cases around us in neighbourhood and relations. This is a matter to be dealt with carefully. Open diss with children is important here to understand as to how one has shortlisted a particular passion for taking up as profession, normally, when we meet or appreciate some successful person we get convinced mentally and decide to go ahead without going into the difficulties on way to achieve that goal and any encounter with the same diverts us to another goal. Parents, on the other side have spent their life and know better about the prevailing circumstances, difficulties and demands of life and want their children to opt for a profession that gives them secured income with least risk involved. The question still remains unanswered. Today, times have changed, parent’s advice may be based on their experience about job market which existed 20 to 30 years back, today this is changing and changing very fast. Over these years many new promising professions have come up in the market which require really passionate people who can work beyond time frame of 9Am to 5Pm/5 days week. And, the earning is beyond imagination, we need to explore it. Knowledge of the current and future Job market is a must if one wishes to pursue his passion.
Selecting one profession out of many choices that comes to one’s mind is a real call. First thing is to identify your strengths, analysing your personality type is also important and above all, your financial requirements. Many of the passions require you to hone yourself for years without much financial support and if you are financially not strong enough, it is better to find a job first for financial stability and then make advancements in your passion to develop it as second professional option. Many have lost their jobs during pandemic and developing your second profession based on your passion can prove to be a boon in difficult times.
