CAREER CONFUSION

Suchitra Surve in this episode focuses on the concept of Career and why Career confusion arises. Just by having a degree or being in a job, one cannot define career, it is a journey throughout the life time. It is a combination of our educational qualification, the work that we do, and the continuous up-gradation that we take up. Considering the growing options in terms of courses and location whether in India or abroad, peer pressure, popular myths related with some careers, parental expectations, personal aspirations, the lack of clear interest and ambiguity about our own potential adds to the career confusion . A student needs to become aware of these aspects in order to resolve the career confusion. Once you are aware, the process of career decision making is much easier.
