If I go into the retrospective mode when I passed my 12th standard, the choices i had were simple and restricted; either to become a Doctor, Chartered Accountant, Engineer or a Lawyer. The truth is that these are some of the so called ‘lucrative’ career options, but here I’m trying to point your attention to the hobbies which we were passionate about as kids and which we can take up as today as the career of our choice. Now-a-days we have all sorts of options from which we can choose smartly and career options are not ‘limited’. It’s a whole different level of ball-game for today’s career graph.
A significant number of students are taking up these ‘Unconventional or Offbeat Career’ options. And why won’t they? The competition in the career option of our choice already is lowered as it probably might not be the usual ones; you stand a great chance to stand out from the crowd and not to mention the potential for earnings might be greater than the usual options.
