Question

can you please write down a little about how can a student make their pathway more meaningful, useful and interesting. how can a student develop a college career that guides them through future occupational goals?

Answer 1

The world around us is always changing and evolving. Even the jobs that are available and popular today, the career and the possibilities can possibly look drasically different in a short span of time. So it is very important for a student to decide his/her career in such a way that it ensures that there will be no regrets tommorow.

There are many ways that a student can use to make their pathway more meaningful, useful and interesting. But in my personal view, there is one thing that can potentially change the whole though process and attitude of the student and that thing is writing or noting down things. Every student is not the same and every student has different strength, passion and other abilities. The important thing here is to realize that skill, that passion inside you and then use that to shape the future. It is very important to map everything out on a big piece of canvas and turn it into visual exercise. Writing down the thoughts, intentions, goals and values and displaying them on something gives a person a better direction of what sort of person he is and where lies his passion. Writing down all the skills that one posses and the things that one enjoy to do can better help the person to understand what values he can give to the world or the society. This list can be followed by a list of weaknesses and dislikes and it will help the student to understand that these are the things that drains his positive energy and he/she can possibly release some of their stress by eliminating the possible factors. Realization of one's aptitude and passion is one of the most important aspect in choosing a good career option. At the same time a student should also think and write down about what type of life they want whether they just want to earn more and more money or they want to make a difference in the society or they want help others or they would like to do something for the country. All these things will actually help them to know more about themselves and realize their core value, passion, career preference and the ultimate goal in life.
