How to Make Career Choices – Based on Interests or Ability?

Before appearing for the 11th and 12th board examinations, students focus on choosing the career they want to pursue. For students focusing on pursuing a career in the medical or engineering streams, appearing for the entrance examinations while pursuing the 12th board exams is essential. Many streams require the student to score a certain percentage of marks. Based on the same, the students and the schools must prepare for the upcoming examinations.

Career Choices Based on Academic Although you’ll find many students opting for career choices based on the marks scored in academics, this is an outdated process. In certain cases, the student must have scored a good percentage in one particular subject; however, if the student’s skill set doesn’t match that of the academics, then choosing a career in that particular field will not help. To effectively choose a career based on academics, ensure that you verify the points like realistic scores, investigative nature of the student, conventional approach and interest in the field of academics.

Less Stress on Academics and More on Skills  Schools are putting more stress on skill assessment rather than academic knowledge. Hence alongside studies, skills development has become an integral part of every student’s life. These include the development of soft skills like communication, team working, and personality development skills. Surely academics can help a child develop knowledge; however, sustaining in the corporate culture will become difficult for students in the future without the development of skills.

Choosing a Career Based on Passion Again choosing a career based on passion alone is not a good decision. As mentioned earlier, passion and sufficient knowledge are essential to excel in any field. Hence, every student must focus on excelling academically and pursue a career depending on their skill set and the passion they have nurtured for the stream. At Purushottam Bhagchandka Academic School, we focus on nurturing the students’ skills and educational qualifications. We provide an excellent infrastructure for academics, sports, laboratories and extracurricular activities. Check our website for further details.

Values To make a successful career, you must evaluate your values and potential. Without knowing your capability and believing in yourself you can’t decide on the right career. Make a note of things you wish to do and you will be very happy doing those things. Find your strength and weakness, so that you can get clarity towards your potential.

Work Attitude One must have self-realization on how they feel about work and how it will have an effect on the types of careers they will choose in the future. Your positive attitude is the only means which will help you to manage high levels of stress and responsibility while keeping you self-motivated. 

Training and education To land a career of your choice, you must get trained yourself as per industry level with the best education. That means to get a good job of your type, you need to attain a certain degree or experience so that you can begin your work with an ace in that area. While choosing your course and college always make sure that you are taking admission in an affiliated and reputed college. 

Opportunitie What are the opportunities available in the market and deciding what do you want to do to pursue is the vital thing? You can find opportunities in various ways but what matters is are these opportunities are right for your career. Is this the job or career you were looking for? Therefore, make use of the career opportunities wisely because one wrong move can ruin your career.
