If you ask any student in class 10 about their future goals, you will end up getting confusing answers. This does not mean that they are not ambitious, it is just that there are too many lucrative career options these days and students need guidance from their parents and teachers to choose the right path. Choosing what to study after standard 10 is a critical and career-defining decision. Therefore, it is important that students begin to explore their options without putting it off until the last minute so that they can make an informed and calculated decision.
There are numerous exciting options depending on what you ultimately want to pursue, such as science, engineering, medicine, mass communication, law, arts, etc. For example, if the student wants to pursue a career in law, then he should opt for Intermediate business courses. Also, to become a doctor, the student must opt for Intermediate BiPC. Deciding which course to take in Intermediate is not as simple as it sounds, due to the many career options available after Intermediate. However, here are some questions each student can ask themselves to help them decide their major.
- What do they want to pursue? This is the most important question every student should ask. Not everyone needs to have an answer to this question, but by questioning they can begin to look at their options and find what career they are excited about. However, some of them may already have a goal in their life, and if that’s the case, they should focus on colleges and the curriculum and equip themselves with the necessary skills to reach their goal.
- If they choose a particular course because their friends are studying? o Are you choosing your career path based on your interests? It is quite natural that some of them choose a particular course because they want to be with their friends even after school. But, it is worth noting that in order to be successful, it is important that they are interested in the direction they are taking. In addition, life will give them many opportunities to make new friends no matter what course they choose.
- What exams must students take to study this course? Typically, students must pass 10th standard with great success to enroll in Intermediate. However, after the intermediate level, they may need to pass the exams according to their career choice. It is always best to keep an eye out for junior colleges that train students for these exams.
- What are the job opportunities available after taking the course? Last but not least, everyone should seek job opportunities for their chosen career. They should also ask about placement opportunities and pay packages. Some colleges offer on-campus placements during the final semester, and securing admission to those colleges will give them a head start on landing a job upon completion.
These are just a few questions that can help students decide their career path.
