Last week I was handling class for a group of vibrant girls. They are about to complete college and they wanted to know the next step. I stopped taking class and plunged into discussing their future.
By conversing with them I understood they did not have a clue about:
-Career options
-Higher Education
-Life skills like Money Management or Time Managment
This is the problem I faced in my college as well. As a M.A graduate I didn’t have an inkling about the future path. No one insisted the importance of NET/ JRF exams. No one took time to say the opportunities in Higher Education with a JRF.
The Professors did not take time to know our uniqueness, and they did not give us options on what we could do in life.
I wanted to help the girls. I talked about PHD, premier institutions, and also other career options.
So, if you are student or a professional at the crossroads learn from:
* Podcasts
* YouTube
* Experts
* Mentors
Complaining or giving reasons is not the way to be successful. Information is free. Use it well.
PS: Follow me or DM’s if you want advice. I will do the best I can.
