We all know that choosing a career and moreover a right career option is so important for an individual because his or her whole life depends on it.

Nowadays we could clearly observe that people are not happy with their jobs and even if they want to start something of their own as a small business or startup but many of them actually fail and finally what we think the only option left is to do what is available at the moment as there is no better option left.

And not just that choosing a wrong career even though you might have put your heart and soul into it but the internal dissatisfaction of not pursuing what you were really looking forward to doing in life will make you feel regret in the later stages of life that hardly any student understands during the golden period of their life that is “Teenage”.

NEED FOR CAREER COUNSELLING

In countries like India where people are still dependent on their parents even after they are 18+ of age, so at first stage and every stage of your life your parents will have some expectations from you because for them you are the one they love more than anything else in this entire world,

due to which they see every successful being in you whether its an engineer, doctor, actor, government officer and almost anything that you could expect.

You need to understand its the strong emotional bond that will do anything for you and for them you will always be like a newborn baby, So just imagine if they expect you to become a computer engineer in life and suddenly during the time of your admissions you say that you don’t want to become an engineer but a movie star ! What would be there reaction?

Either they will scold you or give you the examples of people who failed in achieving all this or even if they allow you then they will seek instant results and earning proofs from that career option and since you are just a beginner, if you do engineering as per their will it will take you a minimum of 4 years to complete the degree course and if you would like to pursue your dreams you will hardly get any time to prove yourself right.

Ultimately what happened a sense of fear is created within you and ultimately you had to join that college for next four years and sacrificed you dreams, after completing your degree now you are struggling to get a job, and even if you got one you are underpaid and then you remember the same day where you could take the right decision for yourself but now since you choose the wrong path for you and right path of your parents or anybody who guided you.

So will you be happy with your life ?

Now understand the reason behind it , if your parents are not allowing you or doubt their potential is because they don't want you to choose the wrong path in which there is a lot of competition and chances of becoming successful is minimum, if they allow you to not pursue your students and pursue your dreams its not necessary that you will become successful in that field , Its only you who recognize your inner talent and abilities to do something that you saw other person is already doing and is successful and you wish to live their lifestyle .

Next scenario is that you may or may not get anything for free in this world but in terms of career advice you will get a lot of people becoming career advisor and giving free advice which may or may not have any practical significance and value to your life.

In your life you might see your best childhood friend going to US in a university to do “M S” so you thought that how can i be left behind I need to do the same thing to achieve everything in life , so you ultimately decided to choose a career option under peer pressure.

Another scenario is that we want to maintain our social status otherwise if we choose a career option different that what people are doing around us then What will they think about me ? These are some of the very basic examples of the psychology behind choosing your career and employment in today’s world but think for a minute and ask some of these questions to yourself !

• Is this the career option that I always wished to become in Life ?
• Is this career the one that I could pursue with passion for the rest of my life ?
• Is this the career that will fulfill all my goals and dreams of life ?
• Do I have any knowledge about what people are actually achieving from this career path ?
• Will I be able to overcome all the challenges and competition during my journey ?
• Will I learn something that I always wanted to understand ?
• Is my Talent, Aptitude , Skills, Personality will get utilized to the best to achieve growth

If you are a student then I am sure 98% people don’t think this way before choosing their career on the other hand they might think.

• What is the scope of this career ?
• Will I earn millions and get the highest position in my company after this course
• Will I be rich and have all the life luxuries like Super cars, big house etc .

In the true manner to think this way is not wrong but it's not right either because this is all fictional in your dreams and expectations which is not guaranteed even if you study PHD because this is all the materialistic approach that we are running after not even students but people around them.

In life we seek help from people around us in someway or the other to successfully carry out of life goals but when it comes to choosing your career you will get a lot of free advice. You simply ask any person and they will come up with a list of various career options for you and trust me they themselves might have not completed even one from them so apply your brain and think How that career option would be beneficial for you without testing your abilities.

Similarly like the way you seek an advice or help from either your family member, a friend , relatives similarly if you are facing any difficult in your life to decide your career path you could get in touch with a professional career counselor there is no difference.

ADVANTAGES OF CAREER GUIDANCE & COUNSELLING FOR STUDENTS

As a student or as a parent you need to understand that there is a generation gap between both of you and so there will be a difference of thoughts, perception, goals, dreams, interests , experience and many other associated factors, also if you are a parent it may be possible that you might have failed in doing something in life but it may be possible that your child has the potential to become highly successful in doing the same thing for which you are restricted them to do in life. You need to understand here forcing someone either emotionally or physically to do something they are not good at will ultimately turn back and remember a wrong career guidance could ruin the happiness of the human life forever.

There is a common psychology within every person, everyone feels in their subconscious mind that if they are not able to achieve a particular thing no one else could achieve it or if you have done something good then you unconsciously think that no one could do it better than you.
