What Are the Best Career Paths After Plus Two Science?

Customs should be broken to make it current

It's a long-held tradition for students with high 10th-grade marks to choose Science for their plus two.  Due to this many students, even if they are not interested, choose science as their area of study, and regret later.

This is not an artcle for such people, this is for those who are seriously taking Science is their subject and want to study further.

The reader should be careful while following this article,  that this is only some areas which I feel a science student follow, but the selection within it or outside it is purely personal.

Key Factors to Decide:

✔ Interest (Coding/Biology/Design?) 

If we are trying to learn something which we are not interested can be disastorous for your career.  Career search or research usually starts with under standing your strength and weknesses. It should be something which make you curious in normal circumstances. I will speak about this later.

✔ Entrance Exams (JEE/NEET/CUET/KCET)

There exists different entrance examinations for different areas of study. Having a clear understanding  about the above in advance and preparing for it is very important.  If you are a person who just go by the fate, nothing can be done.

✔ Job Demand (IT/Healthcare/AI are booming)

Present market demand of the areas of learning need to be analysed and also the future of the area of study. Otherwise you will end up with a qualification which is not in demand.

✔ Abroad Scope (Nursing/IT have global opportunities)
