career counselling Career decision
First, it s important to accept that 90% of the youth need someone who can give them insight into options.
Second, society does help in giving insight but it is at the cost of being biased.
Third, it s proven that if an individual is counseled regular for his career growth then he/she is likely to succeed faster and have a content and satisfactory work life.
Hence, presence and interaction with career counselors is essential at every stage of education and job.
So that no one comittes mistake as i did....
As a child I lived dream of my parents..without knowing my skill sets and abilities.. or even nothing more than one option in that field.
Now i realise if i would have got a career counselor during my childhood, and i have known my skills and abilities.. i would have suceeded much earlier.

A career couselor is that fellow, who can help you know your real skills, abilities and show a fair picture of what all one can do to lead a happy, sucessful life.
Career is not only about top listed vacancies - its about happiness, feel good and balanced life. Only a well trained career counselor can give you that.
We need career counsellors because
Well , when we are sick we go to a doctor when we want to learn a new skill we go to a specialist trainer . But when we need to take the most important decision of our life that is choosing a Career, which leads to our job which we spend 30% of our life time on, then isn t it necessary to Consult or consider a specialist opinion or advise before choosing a Right Career for you.
That s how important a Career Counselor is before taking Important Career decisions which could be choosing a Right course and college or considering the higher studies opinion or abroad studies Consultation.
Career coach or counselor helps you decide which is best for you considering all possibilities of future career opportunities , your skills and abilities and what could be right for you.
Career counselling helps students discover their true potential and interest in various subjects.Friends and family can very often provide incorrect guidance because their parameters of judging a career choice might differ.A counsellor is objective while giving guidance,with no considerations other than aptitude and interest.
Choosing a field of study that is not really suited to your interests or skills could prove disastrous.And that s where a career counsellor comes in.
