Subject: Students should decide their own career-paths.


Sir


Through the columns of your esteemed daily I would like to highlight the why students should decide their own career paths. Students should decide their own career-paths because as they knew their own capabilities and inabilities their decision about their career will be right.


But in most of the cases career of students are selected by their parents which will not be a right choice in most of the cases and thus the wrong selection will spoil their child’s entire career. So students should be given chance to select their career in order to make the right decision regarding their future.


Parents and child should communicate with easch other regarding the future plans and the child’s wish regarding his carrer should be valued in order to select the career according to the wishes of an individual.


Thanking you


Yours Sincerely


Piyush
