After College What Next?

Hello readers,

Hope you all are doing great. 

Success is not the key to happiness.Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
-Albert Schweitzer

In every individual’s life, the most cherished moments would be the days spent in schools and colleges. Isn’t this true? This realization would happen only during the culmination days of the college life. Life is easy during the college days with minimal responsibilities. But life moves on and  it will be not the same.  

Why a particular field? 

This is the first question that needs to be asked. What drives an individual to choose a particular field? According to us there are three kinds of different individual mind-sets which make him/her to choose a particular field. 

First category: in this category students would have predetermined their goals.They would have chosen a particular field based on their willingness, interest and capability.

Second category: students who fall under this category are half minded, they will not have clear goals set. They follow a herd mentality, by following someone without any purpose.Without proper direction which will make them land in a miserable situation. So there has to someone who guides these students to a correct path. 

And the third categories of students are those who will always be under pressure, even if they know that they are good at a particular field, they will not be in a position to take decisions. The family members are at the faulty side where they decide what the individuals have to do. And eventually pushes the student to some field where he/she will have zero aptitude in that field. For example a student who is extremely good in arts will be forcefully pushed into the engineering field. How can you expect him/her to deliver good results?



  
The post degree phase.

So now we are in phase where the students have completed their graduation and is now called a graduate, so as the path of his career decided by him earlier he would go ahead and look out for an employment.

The job.

We are sure among our readers many are working, and we all know what a job is, but still let’s just have a refresher about this concept. If we just Google the meaning of job we get this answer “Job is a paid position of regular employment “.

Yes definitely we need to money to survive in this society and hence we take up jobs, these are all the basic amenities to service in a civilized society. Let’s take a deeper dive today and understand about jobs and career and how we are trying to correlate it with our title “after college what next”?

The positive part of this era is there are countless opportunities in life to choose, what to become in life ,what you take up as a profession we must definitely acknowledge as the big maturity leap we all have completed ,but still there are some negatives in this ,to start with ,the first one would too many options to choose and ,your lost to take which road to take?!,

Many attractive options which lead to confusion, the lack of proper guidance from the person’s parent or teachers and also there is no judging capacity by the job seeker himself. So all these end you up in a situation where you always keep wondering that life would have been better, maybe I chose   wrong lane, repentance!

The perfect Job.

Moving lets discuss this, we have heard this term when we go to headhunter or the Human resource of a company you liked to work to say, that I feel this would be the perfect job for you.

Now let’s think for a while, do we agree with our self that there is something called as perfect job we feel the answer in no, no job is perfect, we need to make it perfect by taking it seriously and for that job that to be perfect we must first like what we are doing .So the concept of perfect job is totally a responsibility owned by you ,who should make that job perfect..

The Mind-set.

We decided to write this blog because we are seeing major concerns in India that need to be addressed.

The students who want to seriously become that someone in their life are not able to become to various pressures and also shortcomings in them as well.

We have listed some of the reasons which we feel has to be addressed.

The first one would be ,the knowledge factor-The students of this generation's lack the deeper knowledge that is required ,if you ask us why do they lack it ,there are many reasons ,the intention to study and understand the subject is now considered as almost a waste of time ,and this policy of study one day before the assessment has become famous! And also the we forget to give the respect to knowledge and treat it as degree which can be traded to a hefty salary and a enjoyable work life! What a disaster.
  
The home factor.

We all agree in the Indian middle class or let’s say for the parents ,who can afford decent schools ,have their own approaches towards guiding their kids ,though many of them are right ,others fail to do so in a right way ,the kids are often pushed upon and forced to take up careers similarities to the profession they have taken up! And the Child’s desire is not even asked that is a very unfortunate.

We have to move on and keep the future generation motivated that whatever path of education and career they want to choose it has to respect and they should be allowed to grow, and the youth also have to attain a level of maturity and understand what they want to do in life.

We would like to conclude by saying, after college what next is a simple question, the simple answer for this equation lies within and take wise decisions by first understanding what we want to become life, by choosing the correct goal and the action plan to achieve it.


Thanks a lot for your time, have a nice day ahead.

Living with hope

Tejus R.S and Harish Murthy.
