Choice Making

What would you think of being a learner of subject you don't want to study?

While going through some of the reasons why one would choose the stream, he/she don't what to choose, I came across following:

1. Parents pressure

2. Social pressure

3. Monetary pressure

4. Poor understanding of what to choose

5. Goat race, etc.

This practice is coming from a very long time. In history, we studied that 'the son of farmer will become a farmer and the son of king will become the king'. What if the son of farmer wants to become a soldier or son of king want to become a writer but they can't because they have so much peer pressure due to any of the above reasons or any other reason.

This practice needs to be stopped. The main problem now a days is goat race where if one person chooses to go on a certain direction, the rest follows him without a question. We are human beings and are supposed to do what our heart and mind says to do. We are not sheep's, we have mind and have to use it. We can't blindly follow someone.

I will talk about myself. When I was in class 10, I was being hammered to become a Chartered Accountant and this hit me so hard that I chose commerce but now I think do I really want to do this?

This is what happens when you don't get to chose what you want to do. By the time you feel like it's not me and now there is no way back so I have to live with this.

We will be talking about how advanced education system can change this.
