Career Choice
Careers are drastically shifting. The four big reasons are:
Industry 4.0 – a new era of doing things differently is going to dominate the world in which your teenager grows into a young adult.
World of Opportunities – several new opportunities are coming up while the traditional ones are going into the background. Is you child surfing the wave or stuck with traditional frameworks?
Single Qualification – the thought of a single qualification sufficing through a lifetime is no longer valid. This is replaced with Learnability as a driving force.
Education – is totally democratised and available to all. There is no knowledge that few privileged are only privy to. Moving with the times is the most crucial aspect to thrive.
Parents therefore need to come out of the good school – good college – good job mindset and start preparing their children for the new world in which they will have to thrive. Careers choice cannot be based on Subject of Interest or the wishes of individuals. It needs to be based on Capability and Interest of the individual and then Aligned to the opportunities available.
Any parent cannot be aware of the plethora of choices available. They need to gather deeper understanding and information.
