Career Counseling can help in deciding right career option

For over years, Indian education system limits itself to engineering, accounting, medical, finance or any other conventional courses. These above mentioned education streams are considered to be on the safest side, which assures bright professional career. Over stuffing of people has brought a saturation point in these professions. With everyone opting for medical, engineering and accounting, the value and credibility of these professions has also gone down in the recent years. This is mostly because of the social taboos and self limitations. No one dares to go beyond traditional education and thus end up falling in the same pond. 

Another important factor that contributes to this is the ignorance and level of knowledge about different booming careers and education. A common phenomenon that is observed in Indian students is that they follow to others rather than putting their own brains. There are a lot of streams like fashion designing, marketing management, animation, hair dressing, advertising, graphic designing, aviation and many others, which has shown tremendous potential in recent times. Not in terms of vocational courses, but as full fledged courses and ensure successful professional career.

Owing to technological advancements, students in metro cities have understood the importance of new age education and have started experimenting with it. They are taking up new challenges and are ready to withstand career risks. But the situation lies still the same in the interiors of India. There people still stick with traditional education and go for picking up ever available options. Considering the mind set of students falling in this category has to be changed. Career counseling is one of the most appropriate ways to guide right direction to a student. Through career counseling, the doubts and misconception can be resolved and can provide a child with best of the advices. They can also be informed about the growth, scope and prospects of new education and career options and can be encouraged to go beyond commercialized streams. Students’ right after their 10^th class board examinations should seek for career counseling as it will help them in taking an appropriate decision  right at the onset of their career.
