4 August2021Our lives are marked by a series of crucial decisions that we take. While making decisions is an everyday life skill for humans, yet it never gets easier, especially when it concerns decisions about the most important parts of our lives. As a young adult, the very first important choice that we have to make pertains to our career field. Steering our educational journey in the right direction is of utmost importance. Just how an aimless wanderer seldom reaches his desired destination, similarly a student without the knowledge of what he wants to do in life will have difficulty navigating through life. Especially in today's day and age several students unaware of effective career choices, go after the bandwagon and pick popular jobs. While the job might be one that is in demand, yet it might not be best suited for one's temperament and aptitude. Similarly the availability of plethora of higher education opportunities today, students often getting puzzled and end up picking irrelevant courses and then get stuck in an uninteresting job. Therefore in today's time of cut-throat competition, students should pick nothing but the best career track best suited to their liking and abilities. An effective strategy to help one make the right decisions pertaining to education and career is to consult with a professional career consultant. A key component in today's education sector, career consultants deliver the best results in terms of guiding students to pick the right stream of education. Armed with the tools to assess an individual's personality, aptitude, interest etc, these consultants function with sound reasoning and industry know-how. Career consultants are also privy to the workings of various industries and sectors, which gives them a balanced perspective about both sides of the coin. We no longer live in an era when the only acceptable choice for students was to get a degree, do a decent job in a government organization until retirement. Careers today are more dynamic and interesting. And career counsellors are the vessel that will guide you into making the right decision about picking the perfect career direction for yourself.
