Career - decide yourself

The recent recession impact on IT industry heavily affected the students who are to make their decision on career choices. I could see reports on dailies and news channels highlighting students have chosen areas other than IT for their engineering due to the current market situation.

On asking students the reason for the choice, most of them said that they are advised by their parents, neighbors to do so. I rarely see the case where the students made their choice out of their own interest. Students are forced to choose their career based on the current market scenario. They are not allowed to make the choice out of their interest.

People can be successful only if they make their way of their own interest. And there is no relation to the current market scenario.

Career choices should not be guided by fluctuations in the market. Education should be seen as a tool that nurtures an individuals personality and equips him/her to withstand such fluctuations for leading a healthy and balanced life.
