Are we responsible parents?

-

 



When I was young, my mother used to say while comparing with one neighboring kid, he will become engineer and you will become clerk. Neither he is engineer today nor I am clerk.

Are we as parents capable enough to decide our child career? 
Are we misleading them or really guiding them? 
How much we are sure about the future of any career while suggesting the same to our child? 
Is it too much guidance and pressure destroying natural skills of child which may lead him better than invalidated guidance?

Francis Galton was the first person to identify "nature" and "nurture" as two separate influences whose effects could be measured and compared, maintaining that these two elements alone were responsible for determining personality.

Nature is what one got inborn and inherited and Nurture is what learned from experiences since birth and onwards.

Do we ever thought of any method or tools which can measure what a child can do best and what as parents we could do better to develop a career around that?

While suggesting a career how many times we thought of their happiness which as parents should be our main priority.

As parents, we should consider multiple factors before actually suggesting a course and career for our child.

Research and theories says, Aptitude, Personality and Interests together could give us an idea of what course and career best suit any child. Many good career counselling groups developed their tools around many psychological theories which will facilitate parents to know the traits of their child which could give them a better idea and help those taking nearly correct decisions.

To conclude, a hit and trial may cause more harm to your child than good.  As good parents, first analyze their capabilities and what they are good at, and then try to see the best possible career that you could suggest to them.

Someone said so correctly, “Find out what you like doing best and get someone to pay you for doing it.”

You will find happiness in your work and motivate to work in your regular routine job.

AI Is Changing the Job Market — But Who’s Preparing Our Students for It?

-
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries at a pace never seen before. From automating routine tasks to generating content and making complex decisions, AI is not just changing how we work; it’s reshaping what work means. Yet, amid this disruption, a critical question looms large: Are we preparing our students for the world AI is creating? Unfortunately, the answer is: not enough. Like many other countries, India still relies heavily on an education system built around rote learning, traditional career paths, and a linear approach to success — get good grades, choose a “safe” degree, land a job, and settle. But that model is no longer sustainable in a world where AI is making certain roles obsolete and giving rise to entirely new ones. Many students today are confused, anxious, and overwhelmed. They're pushed toward careers that may not exist in five years or are unaware of emerging fields like AI ethics, data storytelling, human-AI collaborat...

  In today's fast-changing professional world, one thing is becoming clear: AI is no longer just a tool, it’s the new interviewer. The rules of employment have changed. Artificial intelligence silently assesses your relevance, whether you're starting or already in a leadership position. And the only way to stay ahead is to stay prepared. With AI tools increasingly integrated into recruitment, project management, content creation, finance, healthcare, and nearly every primary industry, a growing sense of fear and uncertainty is palpable. Everyone asks: “Should we be worried about AI taking over jobs?” The honest answer is: Yes—and no. Yes, There Is Reason to Be Concerned AI is undoubtedly transforming the job landscape. It’s not just replacing people, it’s obsoleting jobs . That may sound ominous, but let’s understand what it really means. When we say AI is “obsoleting” a job, we don’t mean it’s replacing every human worker with a robot. Rather, it’s changing the nat...
