A student’s career decision is be easily influenced by external factors and so for any aspiring learner, a career decision is typically influenced by various factors such as :

? Parental pressure,

? Peer pressure,

? Society trends,

? Quick settling/ money career options,

? Fast Money (less knowledge)

? Wrong prejudices about careers in general

Counselling requires empathy, psychological understanding and current knowledge of all the professions and career options available out there. Hence it is advised to resort to professional counsellors and career guides.

Career guidance is a very important activity that’s best when done at the earliest stage in life. Career counsellors are well equipped with all the knowledge and skills that can help groom and shape you in the appropriate career path alongside guide and motivate you to select the career that’s best as per your skills, abilities, learning style, personality and attributes. A career professional also supports you in irradiating stress and apprehension that may be caused due to wastage of precious time and money in inappropriate career choice that one realises after investing several years in wrong career path.

Secondly a career counsellor is unbiased, non-judgemental and have scientific approach to guide you on right career choice. Professional guidance taken at early stage enable the students and their parents to plan finance and other support system.

Deciding the most suitable career path is not a decision to be taken lightly It involves analyzing the interest, aptitude, skills of the candidate to match with the career paths most suitable for them. This must be done under the guidance of an experienced Career Counselor to avoid any mistakes that could result in major setbacks in the journey of pursuing the path to a satisfying career.

I consider career counsellors role to that of a Doctor .Like what a qualified doctor does is to talk to u patiently,understand your pain points ,probes further on the short term and long term implications of all that the patient has to say and based on all that either recommends a test for diagnosis followed by a remedy or otherwise offer a suitable remedy rightaway.

An expert career counsellor acts like a doctor ....she understands your core values /skills /interest /aptitude .....your choice or selection of a preferred career path ....analyses the possibilities ,implications,and last but not the least suggests you alternatives,or mentors you to tread that path of your choice.

Remember ,career is not something "one size firs all".Each individual is unique and should be guided in a unique ,customused way to acheive their career goals.

Hence consulting an expert career counsellor can save a lot of time and frustration in later years of life.

Hope that helps!!!
