1. INTRO
Choosing a career is one of the biggest decisions in a student’s life.
But many students make simple mistakes that lead to confusion, stress, or wrong choices.
Today, let’s understand the top 5 career-choosing mistakes so you can avoid them.
2. PURPOSE
This vlog aims to help you:
- Understand what NOT to do while choosing a career
- Make smarter and more informed decisions
- Save time, money, and effort by avoiding common errors
3. SCOPE
We will cover the five most common mistakes students make:
- Following others
- Ignoring interests
- Not checking future demand
- Choosing based on marks
- Not exploring enough options
4. MISTAKE 1: FOLLOWING FRIENDS OR RELATIVES
This is the most common mistake.
Students choose a career just because their friends, cousins, or someone they know did it.
Remember: Their path is not your path.
Your career should match your personality, not someone else’s.
5. MISTAKE 2: IGNORING PERSONAL INTERESTS
Many students select a course without checking what they actually like.
When you ignore your interests, you lose motivation later.
A good career grows only when interest and ability align together.
6. MISTAKE 3: NOT CHECKING FUTURE DEMAND
Some careers look attractive today but may have less demand in the future.
This causes job difficulty later.
Always check industry trends before choosing a course—
because the future matters more than the present.
7. MISTAKE 4: CHOOSING BASED ONLY ON MARKS
Some students pick a career just because they scored high or low in a subject.
Marks show performance, not passion.
Your marks can improve—but wrong career choices are hard to fix.
8. MISTAKE 5: NOT RESEARCHING ENOUGH
Many students choose a course without understanding what it includes,
what jobs it offers,
and how the field works.
A few hours of research can save years of regret.
Always explore before you decide.
9. CONCLUSION
Choosing a career is not about pressure—it’s about clarity.
Avoid these five mistakes, take time to understand yourself,
and pick a career that matches your interest, strength, and future demand.
A wise decision today can change your entire life tomorrow.
