Career Counseling done by me

On 26th June 2009 a career counseling session was held in Dua Academy Ghotki with the name of EducateSindh by Rakesh, Vikash and Vishal. The primary objective of this session was to aware students about career options other than typical engineering and medical. Moreover it was also goaled to listen to and suggest solutions to student's major problems especially Financial problem.

The session starts in a Govt class room with broken benches which were even short as the students' quantity was huge. Few sat on windows and many stood up to listen to us. Overall the class was fully packed. After introduction we started with a punch question ' What is education?', this made students and teachers think for a while. Though it was not from the main objective of the session to convey what is education but our group found it preferable to discuss such issues which are never thought. After a brain storming einstein's quotation was taken as help and audience agreed over.

Then we discussed the scholarships available by HEC and other institutional scholarships like given by NUCES, COMSATS, IBA etc. Moreover a demo was also given of how to apply as we had internet support with us. After this discussion, various careers were discussed. It was because students of interior perceive as there are just two careers for them i.e. Medical and Engineering. We explained few other careers with the personality traits required, service markets and Institutions offering those. Those careers include media sciences, Sociology, Computer science, and Commerce.

Further few of the major problems faced by us was loadshedding, overheating of projector, and projector screen management. The facilities provided by us were, two PCs and projector. Moreover, Students were provided with a collection of megazines and gmail ids so that they can stay in touch with educatesindh group.

In the end, A question and answer session was held in which students had various queries which were solved as under

QUERRY: Career options for a pre-medical student
Answer: BDS, Pharmacy
Q: Scholarships in medical
A: Cuba Scholarship, Agha Khan Scholarship, Endowment and other institution scholarship
Q:Why to go for those careers in which there is low market like media sciences?

Q: Any scholarship for foreign qualification?
A: Fullbright
Q: How to analyse which profession is better for me?
