Students always get into trouble selecting study field after their
matriculation and intermediate. They randomly apply to various institutes with
intent to take admission wherever they get one. Here I am talking about those
students who lack aim, direction and vision for their future. And dilemma is
that majority of the students fall into this category. The reasons for such
condition are basically the lack of awareness, proper guidance and illiteracy
that are also the major evils of our society. Our education system suffers due to
lack of awareness and illiteracy of parents, negligence and lack of support of
teachers and absence of career counseling facilities at this level (however same
situation exists at every level).
One more problem that I have observed is that students’ minds are
penetrated with certain specific fields which they might not be interested in. The
encouragement to explore their interests is nonexistent in our society that is the reason its trouble selecting study field. Minds
are blocked and stuck which causes failures and frustrations. Interest, visions,
abilities, skills and hard work are just words which are never taken seriously
by our students. In my personal experience, on asking students of their aims, I
just got blank faces in response and silence prevailed all over.
I feel sorry to quote this but our education system is damaged to
its roots. Students are not provided with right education at the base level
which does not enable them to learn and proceed with the aims. They are
confused, considering studies as a burden and relying on deteriorating methods
of getting further in their education level. All factors of such sort contributes to their trouble selecting study field.
Not on the system’s end, I would like to suggest here what
students can do at their ends to survive this situation. They need to explore
themselves and study what matches their interest. Identify their aims, clear
the vision and grab opportunities from the surroundings. It can be done by
asking for advice of certain teachers who they consider can guide to the best. Their willingness to achieve only comes when they themselves have drive to achieve something. So students, just not waste your time and life, gear up yourselves and hit it!
