Few years ago The age of grade 8 and grade 9 in schools is an awesome time. Time to break free from   the secured limitations imposed by the system for safety. time to explore the life.. time to watch movies in theatres with friends, time to go out for camps and adventure trips.. time to participate in various activities and competitions out of the school periphery as well. Actually a time to taste the life in its true sense … Now " Time to decide which foundation Class should I join to make my concepts clear and sound ( although I have been studying in best school in the town that charges   annual fee more than what my mom and dad both together paid for their entire schooling. ) Its time to attend school from 7 am to maybe 4 – 5 pm and then attend foundation classes from 6 pm to 8 pm… then self study from 8 pm onwards and then dinner and then sleep maybe at 1 am or 2 am in the early morning. Saturdays and Sundays I have assignments / weekly tests and my weekly extracurr...

Career choice and planning are crucial aspects of a student's life, as it can shape his future and career prospects. It is important to start the thought process and planning early to ensure that the student has enough time to explore their options and make informed decisions. The thought process for career choice should begin as early as between grade 6 to grade 8   as this is the time when students start to become aware of their interests and abilities . This is the age when as parents, we should closely watch the hobbies being developed, the extra curricular activities being done, observe to what level is child putting his efforts   to excel in an activity . Let the child  explore multiple activities, have a budget for the same . Its wise here,   not to really expect   from the child that he should excel to be the best   in whatever he takes up as hobby / activity in this age. This may create a big pressure on the child which may defeat the whole purpo...

The Number of students opting for commerce  has increased substantially in recent years. It may be either out of reduced interest in science or seemingly out of hope of getting some good job in Industry. Many commerce  students initially dream of and  start preparing for CA / CS or plan for MBA post BCom  or some think of pursuing MPSC / UPSC and some others plan to go for LAW ..  Initially everything seems quite encouraging, but as the years pass and the students face failures in the competitive exams like CA/CS / the interest fades away from the chosen  path of MPSC / UPSC or when they realize that Law isn't that great for them, self doubt starts to creep in ... increasing the confusion, thereby leading to a stressful life.   Unfortunately many universities haven't yet updated the B.com / M.com syllabus to remain effective with changing times and hence as the students are about to complete B.Com and they see no respectable job opportun...

Which careers will be Great: Those With Arts / humanities education or those with Science and Technology education ?  In recent years, there has been a growing debate over the value of a liberal arts education versus a technical education. While both fields offer unique opportunities and benefits, there are some key differences to consider when comparing career opportunities for students with an education in arts and humanities versus students with an education in science and technology.  One of the main differences is the type of jobs that are available to graduates. Students with an education in science and technology are more likely to find careers in fields such as engineering, computer science, and healthcare. These jobs tend to be highly technical and often require specialized knowledge and skills.  On the other hand, students with an education in arts and humanities are more likely to find careers in fields such as communications, education, and business. These job...
