India, Sept. 22 -- My career-palette has colours that society has decided for me. These colours mingle with each other and get mixed. The palette is nothing but a complete mess. I am still a school student, but I am often asked, "What do I want to do in life?" I have multiple answers because my career-palette has careers competing with each other.
It is tough for a school student to find their path at such a young age, because they are stuck within the paradigm of 'streams'. Studying science means you are stuck in the engineering line. Studying commerce means I am stuck in the box of chartered accountancy, and learning humanities implies that I must choose to become a lawyer or journalist.
The real problem is I can never break out of this...
