Students might see light in these career options
There are no mainstream careers or preferred careers—a student’s choice for studying commerce or soil or music or fish have the same merit, and their dreams are equally important for the world.
In some sections or communities or even in the families or extended families, the students’ career choices and their college selection discussions are limited to a few options—based on what they see around, and based on the stories that they hear in their network.
Let’s see a few options that are not as often discussed in those circles.
Dolphins: Communication with Dolphins (Example Dolphin Whispers—for communication with dolphins and research)
Policy, and society: Lots of career paths in this meta category (example)
Naming experts: Naming a car, naming a garden, or naming the golf kit
Committing to one food: (example of fish food, by Three Oceans)
Marine conservation: (example of an Indian agency)
Archeology—digital archivist, heritage consultants, museums
Omithology (a reference)
Steering does not build your careers, and we do not find colleges for you.
We help you identify what you want to do—it is purely your talent, your skills, your own judgment and awareness, and how you see the world inside and outside your network.
We encourage students to do self-talk and map the journey, find the right people, connect with them, and ask questions.
We have a free trial for you.
Our analysis structure in the free plan helps you in thinking deeply about your life-dreams, aspirations, wishes, and in connecting the dots for what you want to do, what skills you should learn, how to apply those skills in real life work, and what brings joy in your life when you grow up.
Steering is open for private access at present. You can take the free trial to get started.
