During my school days, like every kid, i also used to study science and maths. My basic knowledge of science and maths was very strong at that time. But i was having equal interest in social studies and social sciences too. Civics was always my priority, followed by geography and history. Habit of reading Hindi Newspaper daily played major role in making my interest towards social studies. But that time, i never thought that i will make my career in commerce, finance and business studies.
At the age of 13-14 i have basic knowledge of all these commerce and economics terminologies like Economy, GDP, SENSEX, NIFTY, name of some sectors, share market, revenue, expenditure, budget and many similar terms.
Many political terms like loksabha, rajyasabha,vidhansabha, CMs, ministers, i have basic knowledge of all these stuffs. All credit goes to habit of reading newspaper daily.
After 10th board exams, i had to decide what to opt for further studies, i did my 1st SWOT Analysis in 2018. ( I have idea of SWOT at that time too 😎 ). I don't have much knowledge about future outcome, but i was certain that if i opt science, my future will be satisfactorily bright. But between many terms, conditions, prevailing circumstances, i chose Commerce for my further studies.
But Why COMMERCE?
As i already mentioned, i don't have much knowledge about future outcome, but one which i was clear is that "Scope kisi course aur field ka nahi hota hai, Scope bande ka hota hai". I read it somewhere while scrolling Facebook, but i know meaning of it. And i have clarity that, if i study properly, learn concepts, then i will definitely succeed.
For Arts, i am sure that i won't took it as subject, because as i have interest in it so i will attain basic knowledge of these subjects like hobby, and don't make career in it. I also thought that time that graduation in Arts doesn't provide employability. You have to qualify any competitive exams to become emoloyable. I might be wrong but today still, i thought same.
So i was having option between Science and Commerce.
I never have interest in biology and chemistry. After taking a look of class 11th maths, i was feared.
My family's financial condition doesnt allow me to go to any reputed institute to study for PCM. The school where i was enrolled im Xth, doesn't have permanent and good faculties for science subjects. That was bad luck of our batch, because when we are leaving after XIIth, the school have proper faculties of all subjects.
I also have one clarity that INVESTMENT is directly proportional to RETURN. If you don't invest genuine amount in Education, then you please don't expect better Returns in Future.
I am not faking all these, i had knowledge ofto all these gyaan, and i also shared it with my colleagues.
I was having some 2-3 people in my family, who studied commerce in their career are earning well. Those guys are my example from employability and financial incentives point of view.
Choosing Commerce also mean starting from scratch. That is new course new subjects and new journey. No past knowledge or lack of knowledge is needed in it. If your basic English and Maths is clear, you can easily start and enjoy new journey with commerce.
After analysing all facts and circumstances, i finally decided to opt Commerce. I am glad to share that my parents never pressurized me to take this subject or this course. They suggested their opinion, they called some genuine sources, talked with helpful relatives, but at the end, it's me who decided my career. If i had taken science, they definitely sent me Patna or Kota in reputed coaching for JEE preparation.
Everything happens for a reason. After that, i never thought ki mujhe science lena chahiye tha and all. Yes taking science and graduating from good campuses guarantees job of higher package. companies don't pay commerce graduate as much as they pay science graduates. But still i am loving the subject, the syllabus and course. I could easily get a job of 25k per month, but currently i am giving full time to myself in learning and exploring new things.
Thanks
( I did good research of various career options after 10th and 12th, anyone seeking help can reach out to me, i will suggest and answer your queries. )
