Our career, the profession and occupation we chose and decide to pursue comprises a noteworthy part of our lives - not only does it impact and determine all the other aspects and situations of our professional and personal lives, but it also shapes our entire lives. We also spend as many as around 40 years of our lives working on our careers, which is 14,600 days and 36,000 hours. Don't you think that all of us must ensure that all this valuable time and hard work is put into something we enjoy doing and are good at, not something we dread or are terrible at?

Lakhs of students appear for all kinds of competitive exams every year, but only a handful of them can secure a seat in the best of colleges. Moreover, every year, a countless number of young people graduate from college and universities. Still, their degrees fall short to get them a decent job because they lack the right and relevant skills and requirements to stand out amidst the cut-throat competition.

Career development and evolution depend on various factors such as interests, abilities, capability, intelligence, potential, personality, strengths, weaknesses, background, education, skills, values, and circumstances. Therefore, one must consider each of these factors while making a career decision, most notably at its commencement. And yet, most of the students, due to lack of awareness and proper guidance, end up choosing the wrong path for themselves. This is where Career Counselling and Guidance plays a significant role - to aid and ensure that young minds can make informed and wise decisions, taking all the necessary factors into account, rather than random choices which will waste their potential and land them up nowhere.
