  • Choosing an Unorthodox Career Path

    Choosing an Unorthodox Career Path

    Daily writing prompt
    What is your career plan?

    Hey…

    I hope all of you are doing well…

    I guess today’s prompt would work the best with those who are passing their 12th grade exams after which they’ll be going to attend the college of their choice that supports their streams.
    or entering into 11th grade where they have to make a choice between choosing their major,
    It would be between science, commerce or humanities…;

    As for me,
    my story is a really weird one,
    a commerce major,
    who scored in low eighties,
    and the type of education system we have,
    they cherish marks more than the individual’s abilities more,
    being a pass out of one of the better schools in my area,
    everyone had more expectations,
    BUT,
    Something that isn’t stressed is the family’s (WANTS AND DREAMS) to be on with their child’s….

    Choosing an unorthodox career path,
    and getting next to no support from them,
    not as a new found adult,
    but,
    monetary too,
    when I was promised it too,
    just because our dream didn’t align…

    SO,
    long story short,
    taking open courses,
    where i was handed out the syllabus and exams happened once a year without any classes to go to,
    And,
    on securing a bachelor’s degree in commerce all the while working in a family-owned industrial business,
    where working by hand was of utmost importance,
    (TO learn the basic things Because i wasn’t from the field…)

    Alongwith that I found this precious skill of being capable to pen down my thoughts and feelings,
    which has been growing ever since i started…

    So much to career plan,
    this and that…
    😂

    Cheers 🥂

    The feeling that this photo sparks is something that can’t be recreated,
    being there in a place that exists on this earth,
    but even heaven won’t be a match of it.
    My village Panjab,
    the greens of trees and still budding crops,
    The gold of fully ripe wheat takes my heart away,
    the pure white sunlight blessing all of these and helping them in reaching the right color and their ripeness,
    so,
    they shall be ready for harvest…
    A dream comes true
    all of it…
