career counselling career guidance
Selecting a Career Based on Highest Paying Jobs has been a regular practice for many Student and Parents. But Let me tell you the Reality. At the time of Selecting the Career and Start Graduation there may be some career in demand. Till the time you become graduate this may not be true.
So rather then looking for what is currently prevailing, think about what is future. I was referring the Future Job Report 2020 published by World Economic Forum and found some interesting statistics. The report is 163 page long, however I have picked up what is relevant for you to understand.
The report have declared some of the Emerging Career Options, which you may consider for your child. Here is the list.
Again these are not high paid jobs. There are rewarding careers. The single definition to understand that you will be highly paid or not, is Your "Competency".
The Higher the Competency, The Higher the Demand, The Higher the Demand Higher the Pay.
So decide what you are good at where you can develop the unmatched competency, Love what you do and Like where you go to work. Do Not select a Career Where You Inherent Quality is not matching.
Let me give you an Example, A Person with Very less convincing power, become Sales and Marketing Manager. Ofcourse the Results will not be as good as the person who can communciate properly and convinse other. So, that person's chances to get promoted, selected and getting higher pay is only depends on luck.
Do not leave your Career Aspiration on Luck. Take action and do whatever you are good at.
Startups in any a field if done with vision and constant work consistency fetch more money.
