Things You Should Keep In Mind Before Deciding Between Your Career Options After 12th

by Avinash Mittal Blogger

Do you want yourself to be sitting in a cubicle, just counting your days and hours and sulking about your job thinking that you have made a huge mistake career-wise? You won’t believe there are a lot of people who realize it all too late that they’ve chosen the wrong career path. However, the process of this starts from class 10th itself (from the time you choose your stream).

I choose science stream after my 10th boards. So after completing my 12th, I started looking for career options for science students, and through all these years I realized how important it is to choose the right career path so that you don’t end up with any regrets. Since I don’t regret my choice at all here, I bring a few tips that will help you in making the right decision about your career options after 12th.

Determine Your Strength & Weaknesses

It is very important to figure out what your strength and weaknesses are. You must realize that you should not come under pressure from anybody when it comes to choosing your career options. Don’t choose an option just because your family or a friend said so. However, taking suggestions and seeking guidance is always good but make sure you make your final decision according to your interest. Your decision must be based primarily on your interest, your strengths and your weaknesses.

Always Go For The Degree Over The College Brand

One should always give preference to a course/degree over the college/institution brand. This will ultimately help you to decide what you want to do in the long run. Choosing a college brand for a course that doesn’t match with your interest will only give you bad results whereas if you choose a course which is of your interest even if it is from a not so good college it can take you very far in your career.

Avoid Taking a Gap Year

Dropping a year to prepare for an entrance may not be such a good idea. If you did not make it the first time, you would be thinking that studying all year long would get you through it. But that’s easier said than done. Staying motivated for the entire year and studying the same repetitive course is no less than a challenge. It is better to pursue a degree or course that can help you start your career very quickly. You won’t believe, but there are various career options for science students (for other streams as well) that help in giving a kick start to your career.
