There are many problems that we face in life but the toughest one is the choice regarding the career. Most of us tend to take it lightly and not pay a conscious thought to it. We just take and follow what is offered to us. Like preference of science/commerce/arts in school. It is what I think could be seen as an alternative form of caste system. One with higher percentage is given science and they too prefer it as they have scored more and they go for it without any other specific reason, one with lower percentage is given arts irrespective of their preference, rest in middle are given commerce. Though one with lower percentage can still go for Science but they don't have any specific reason for selecting it.
Only a certain percent of the students are able to make a smart selection here irrespective of the mark scored. This is what we can call as a first step towards the right career path. But bigger hurdle arises after high school as most of us have no idea regarding field that we should select in graduation. Even though we, but due to high competition, some of us aren't able to get the desired field mostly due to rank scored or the minimum marks required for admission.
But now the question arises, what to do next? How to be back on track, as the above circumstances weren't under our control. Post graduation though is a chance to redeem yourself, to revive your choice, to be back on track. But there are many things which can be done at graduation level.
For instance, if you have a interest in fashion and you aren't able to get into desired fashion institute then, along with your regular graduation look for on field work opportunities. Though degree matters and add credentials but nothing can substitute the practical experience. Basic thing required is a wide imagination and knowledge of how market functions, which you develop over years. You don't need anything else.
For those, who are to make the choice regarding graduation ahead, make sure you are fully aware about the subject you are taking. Do a proper research of the course, see the subjects that will be taught there and then decide whether you want to go for it or not. And don't follow the herd. Instead look for creative and exciting new opportunities. Look for something different, something exciting. Something your heart desires. Something which you can do for rest of your life. There's lot more in the world then doctors, engineers, MBA , CA, Bank and government jobs.
Time is changing, so are the people. Just change the way of viewing the things and you will find what you are looking for. Be carefree. Take the risk. Follow your dreams,your passion. Be you.
Here I want to add one thing, don't rely totally on your likes or hobbies. As hobbies are like feelings, they tend to change over time. You must have observed within you that the things you liked as a child or as a young teenager are much different from ones now. They tend to change with age and time. So, be absolutely sure. Do a mental calculation of pros and cons of the things and then decide whether you will be able to do that work for your whole life or not. So, instead relying on one hobby do a self introspection and find 3 hobbies
Don't get carried away by pressure. And have patience as getting field you want isn't a quick task. It takes some time. You just have to be calm and look around with open eyes.

Only few among us are clear of we want in life while the rest just tend to go with what is there for them, and go on to continue with that all their life without thinking/ realizing whether it was what they actually wanted in their life? Don't get into a job just to add value to your CV. Instead do a job when you think it's really worth your effort and adds more value to you than to your CV. Always remember your worth. We young guys tend to give money more importance than the type of work we will be involved in. Always remember journey always starts from the bottom. You won't immediately get what you want. It takes time. Just go on to add value to yourself, and soon you will get the pay scale you were dreaming off.
Choice is yours
Maybe you wont get the choices again in life or maybe you will be provided with one later on. But future is unknown. Present decisions matter the most.
So choose wisely what to do, as everyone is not given a 2nd chance.
BE BRAVE. BE WISE. BE STRONG
