Hi Sheoran uncle ji,
Interestingly enough, when I was in college, I saw so many kids who came in as "undecided majors" and after 2 precious years were gone, they still had not selected the path that they wanted to go towards. Their attitude was "I just want a degree in something, but I don't know what". As a result they spent 6-7 years to finish college. I guess we can argue that they gained experience but I have always felt that they could have been out gaining experience in the real world had they just been given some direction from early on and if they finished their college on time.
Just my 2 cents!

Nice change dude

Waise jo tum abhi banne ki koshis kar rahe ho woh bhi aachi hai keshav
waise mein doctor ban-na chahta tha lekin ek din biology lab mein chuhe kat-te dekh ke socha ki ye nahi kar paunga aur engineer ban gaya
 
What I wanted to be?
A pro with computers. this was around 10th class.
then I got hooked up with the dream of being a Naval Pilot. went for SSB twice. could not make to the medicals. no issues.
came back studied BIT and here I am working with computers. what i originally imagined to do.
A lot went by while this happened. however I guess I was born to do this and much more that I do as part of my hobbies and interests.
So if I stay on course I should be surely where how i visualized myself back in class 10th.
so it feels great.

WhoAmI? u sure u wanna know? at your own risk, chk me out at ORKUT and http://vip-in.livejournal.com
 
You are right Satyeshwar, at that age some of the students find it hard to make a decision and the logical solution is to gain some work experience in areas of interest and see if that is what you want to do rest of your life. I know some one who wanted to be a TV broad caster but after 1 week work experience at a TV station she was disillusioned and decided against it. I know not every one gets that opportunity and perhaps we can help those students by giving some insights about our careers, say three good points and three not so good points about each career. Perhaps in a separate thread. Why limit to three because these are the most important criteria we should pick up and make it easy for objective theoretical evaluation.It could help them save precious time.

"LOOK WHERE YOU ARE GOING - OTHERWISE YOU WILL GO WHERE YOU ARE LOOKING".

It simply means that if one wants to go JIND from SUNPAT, he should preferably board a bus that goes to JIND via GOHANA. Well, one can reach JIND even by boarding a bus for ROHTAK, get down at KHARKHODA, catch a TEMPO for FARMANA and then another one for GOHANA. And from GOHANA you can board a bus for JIND.

Children be allowed freedom to choose a career, provided they are fully aware of the educational, technical & psychological requirements that are peculiar to and needed for pursuing each career. If they aren't aware, it is the duty of the elders, teachers, friends etc to guide them.

And as far as whether one actually achieves what one desires: I am reminded of a couplet I read in Pran's Biography.

Kalkhande Sir,
Bahot e jullamee sher likhe diya aapne to.
Sahi baat hai jamma e ...."ek pyaala or pila de":)
 
indeed good thread....i never decided about my profession at my school days...i just want to be free every time and liked to enjoy the life as it comes...so i didn't took the right way for my career as i never bothered about it...that was my mistake....but i never like to lose hope untill it is all finished...i gave thought for my career when one day my mother asked me to go for something professional degree.....you know why....so that they can find a good and smart match for their daughter....and i didn't liked the idea as i'm some different kind girl....so at that time i decided for teaching or banking profession.....and now i'm in teaching job but going to pursue higher degree so that i can go high in my profession....and if i stick to one thing then i go for that only....but you also would be thinking that why i didn't opted for any MBA or MCA or any other professional degree as today's demand is for these degrees only....i think a girl must think about her future also...in what kind family she would like to be, how much she can adjust, how easily she can take her responsiblities and with that things keeping in mind she should decide her career so that she can continue it in her future life also....and i opted for teaching option keeping these things in my mind.....everybody compelled me to go for MBA but i didn't and now i'll be going for M.Com....rest i believe in luck also....jiski kismat main jo likha hota hai uski kismat apne aap usse wahin kheench ke le jaati hai.

If some one cud cogitate the compendious intellect reflected in your words......so well convened.
And infact I am of your opinion in a way that one shud alwayz look forward rather then what happened in past......ofcourse past in important and you learn from your mistakes.......(also form other's mistakes)......and one shud stick to the cardinal rules & move on..........this world is wild enough to stand you and you have to prove your excistence..........

I cud remember these words one of my freind quotes.......it goes like this.........

लोड करके राईफल, जब जीप पे सवार होते.....बाऩध साफा जब गाबरू तयार होते.......
.........देखती है दुनिया छत पर चढके.......और कहते काश हम भी जाट होते......
 
Interesting thread and with some good wisdom :)

Well I grew up with dreams of joining Indian Army and that was all I ever dreaned of till 9-10th std. After that I realized that because of being myopic I wont be able to join Army so I decided to pursue egineering.

At college my goals changed a bit from going for MS to taking a job or pursuing an MBA.

I gave myself sometime and in last few years I have tried to find my strengths and weaknesses and my real goals and aspiration..and I would say the process of self discovery is never ending :) I have some goals and I am moving towards them.. But are they really my goals... well as of now it looks like that.. but you never know.

I think as long as we have some direction and work diligently to progress in that it is fine.

My journey so far and my 2 cents :)
 
Well, atlast a nice thread :rolleyes:

Anyways, when I read all the posts here, it reminded me my childhood days, they all came like flashback :)

Well, in my early childhood I was very fond of star-gajing n often dreamed that one day I'll fly over to stars n moon, I often used to visit famous BM Birla Platanarium of Jaipur, so all in all I wanted to be an astronaut or an astro-scientist one day but but my papa wanted me to be a Doctor so I chose sci-bio stream n studied realy hard for medicals but kismat ko kuch aur hi manzoor tha so in 2nd attmept all I could make is to waiting list of Vetnary college, Bikaner, anyways no regrets!

In my grduation days I got hooked to famous ad of Army ' Do u have it in U?' & thou I always was facinated towards Army like most of Jats & I decided to go for Army after grdaution n couple of time I did make it to SSB interview but again I couldnt make it thro, later even I tried for teritorial army too but again, same results...anyways no regrets!

afer graduation I chose computing & did MCA n now in the field of Networking for last 4 years but now Im fade of this virtual world n no wonder I can change my track very soon....now Im more in fitness, martial arts, yoga, adventure, travelin & fitness...so in last I just wanna say that I do wanna make my passions my profession, so wish me luck :)

Rock on
Jit
