In India, once a child is born his Future his career is already decided by his parents.
For example -
# Mera Beta bara hoke Engineer Banega (My son will become an Engineer when he grows up)
# Meri beti Doctor banegi (My Daughter will become a Doctor)
Also relatives and society plays a good part. For example-
Uncle to father "Don't let your child indulge in his music too much, take away his guitar and ask him to focus in his studies. "
Aunt to mother "Your daughter's exams are approaching, but she seems rather focused on her Computer than her studies"
Neighbour aunt bragging about own daughter to mother "My daughter has completed her MBA from xxx institute and earning in crores. What about your daughter?"
And so on.
The above are generic examples but I feel these examples are more or less applicable to all. Due to such kinds of societal pressures most Indian youths are drawn (mostly pressurized) towards opting for traditional career choices such as Doctors, Engineers, Government jobs, Bankers etc.
Thus currently in India, we have a lot of doctors and engineers and other traditional job holders.
But among those doctors and engineers are those who didn't want to end up as doctors and engineers.
And there are those who couldn't qualify to become doctors and engineers (And thus considered by society as failures.)
Parents and society are somewhat right to an extent as being a doctor or an engineer one generally ends up with a decent (sometimes high)paying jobs.
But are those the only job options available? If one is not able to become a doctor/engineer , is his/her career finished? Would he/she be stuck with joblessness throughout his/her life?Would he/she not be able to make enough money or lead a normal life?
And for those, who are stuck halfway and couldn't even complete their gereric ba/bsc/bcom degrees let alone Btech, MBBS, do they have no hope left? Thankfully no! The answer is no, a big No!
There are a lot of exciting, enticing, entertaining, interesting, economically feasible, alluring career options for people. But people need to be aware of them first. People need to think about those job/careers first. People need to search for them first.
So my thread is dedicated to all who have different interests rather than traditional career options. Some of the none traditional yet exciting career options are listed below -
1. Youtuber - Even if you don't have any advance degrees or basic qualifications but have good communication skills, good acting/storytelling skills, then this career is just for you. Apparently one of the world's topmost Youtuber earns as much as $15 million. One of India's top Youtuber Bhuban Bam earns approximately Rs. 4 - 70 lakhs per month. So if you have the required skills, go for it!
2. RadioJockey - While in initial stage RJs earn less compared to other traditional sectors, in the range of Rs.7000-20000 pm, with few years of experience one can get upto 50-60000 pm. A good voice is all that is needed.
3. Copywriter - If one has good imagination, good English or hindi writtern skills, one can try for job as a copywriter in an advertising agency. No minimum qualification required. Salaries start as low as 5-6000 pm but shoots upto 50-60000 with just a few years of experience. A decent Copywriter earns approx 1.5-2 lakhs per month.
4. Graphic Designer - Graphic designers now a days are a valued lot in advertising, designing and other creative and designing sectors. While no minimum educational qualification is required, one must have a good creative mind, with good "art" skills with knowledge of designing softwares viz. Adobe Photoshop, Coreldraw(minimum) and video editing software. Can earn in the range of 1-2 lakhs per month(once established.)
5. Content Writers - While no basic educational qualification is stipulated, content writers need to have a good grasp of the language of communication(mainly English) and are expected to have good writing skills. While a freshers salary can start anywhere between 7-10k pm, their package can go upto 50-60k pm with 5-6 years experience.
6. Model - If you have a well maintained physique with good height then you can try your hand at this exciting career option. A beginner can expect a salary of Rs. 6-7k per show. Once established though, it can go as high as 2-3 lakhs per advertisement. Moreover if one can make it to the movie industry then the career and earning options are limitless.
More to come.
Members can add other Non Traditional(Different) career options which they think will fit in this thread.
(Note : The career options mentioned above are Hatke or Different and might not come across as possible for many. Also people are not advised to follow the above mentioned career options blindly unless one has a good understanding about the sectors. So think thrice before making the move.)
For example -
# Mera Beta bara hoke Engineer Banega (My son will become an Engineer when he grows up)
# Meri beti Doctor banegi (My Daughter will become a Doctor)
Also relatives and society plays a good part. For example-
Uncle to father "Don't let your child indulge in his music too much, take away his guitar and ask him to focus in his studies. "
