Introduction

Although I have made many important choices in my life, one is unique and worth mentioning.

When you had to make this choice?

I had to choose after passing my 12th standard.

What you had to choose between?

I had to choose between the commerce and science streams. My family and friends believed that the significance of computer engineers would grow substantially in the future. They believed that technology would rule the world in the coming years, and by pursuing a science stream, I could remain in synchronisation with the needs of the changing era.

However, I had a different plan. I wanted to pursue a commerce stream. The corporate world could bring growth in people’s lives. And by opting for the commerce stream, I could help the people around me by creating many job opportunities.

To arrive at the correct decision, we visited a career counsellor and told him the reason for the debate. He handled the conflict adroitly by telling my family members that it is worthwhile to follow one’s passion for what could be the future.

According to him, when we do not work in the field of our choice, we feel dishearted, and our work seems to burden us. On the other hand, when we do the job as we like, we can lead our life towards an impressive growth trajectory.

After listening to him, I opted for the commerce stream.

Whether you made a good choice?

I made a good choice by listening to my inner voice, and now I am planning to pursue MBA after passing my graduation.
