Generation Z (14 to 17 years) are the most vibrant and smartest kids.
While they have a natural inclination to absorb knowledge, it’s our responsibility as parents to steer them in the right direction.
In today’s world, filled with abundant opportunities, there are also numerous distractions.
This age range, spanning from 14 to 17 years, is characterized by significant physical and emotional changes as they transition from school to college while navigating the complexities of fitting in with their peers.
It’s during this period that they require support and guidance in making career choices.
The world is evolving rapidly, and it’s crucial to equip your child with the skills to adapt and seize the opportunities it presents.
Today, with over 300+ career/ job/ occupation options available, parents and students often find themselves confused about which path to pursue for a promising future. It’s crucial to understand that career decisions should not be solely based on the suggestions or opinions of friends, relatives, or peers. Each child is unique, possessing innate traits that must be discovered and utilized to find the right career path.
Career counseling is a process aimed at helping individuals gain better self-awareness. It provides clarity about the world of work, enabling informed decisions regarding career, education, and life choices. For instance, understanding challenges associated with specific jobs, teamwork abilities, deadline management, and potential conflicts with colleagues are essential aspects to consider before beginning on a career journey. Thus, career counseling guides students in making accurate decisions about their career, education, and life paths.
Several factors influence one’s career development, including personality, interests, abilities, values, background, and circumstances. Career counseling offers valuable information about various career paths a student can consider to grow professionally. A career significantly impacts one’s future and livelihood, so it’s essential to be aware of the chosen path and its potential outcomes.
Many parents prioritize saving a significant portion of their earnings for their children’s schooling and college education. If they’re willing to invest lakhs of rupees in their child’s college education, why not allocate a few thousand to ensure it aligns with their child’s interests and leads to a successful and fulfilling career?
A survey by HSBC Retail Banking and Wealth Management revealed that at least 51% of Indian parents prioritize their child’s financial success. This suggests that parents take a hands-on approach when it comes to making career decisions for their children.
While some Indian institutions offer free admissions for top-performing students, these opportunities are limited. Investing savings in securing admission to the right college decreases the chance of reversing the decision if needed.
There are numerous instances where students realize halfway through their course that their chosen path isn’t what they want. Reverting becomes difficult or impossible, and even if it’s possible, significant time, money, and energy have already been expended, making it a costly mistake.
Career counselling is worth every rupee you spend on it, if done with the right counsellor.

Expert Resources: Career Counselling provides access to the resources and knowledge that a career expert possesses.

Helps Change Unwanted Behavior Patterns: Students might have habits that are hard to break, such as procrastinating, not keeping updated on the latest developments in their chosen career paths, neglecting emotional and mental health, not trying to self-motivate, etc. A Career Counsellor helps break such behavioural patterns that lead to unproductive activities, both at home and in school/college.
Removes Career-Related Frustration: Choosing a career can be a demanding task for both parents and children. Some may be stressed because family members put pressure on them to choose a particular field. They will be confused as to listen to them or find a career that actually interests them.
