The Student Who Wanted to Become a Doctor — But Never Wanted to Be One
A high-performing Class 10 student is determined to become a doctor because his parents believe it is the only respectable career for him. His marks are excellent, but his interests, personality and aspirations point elsewhere.
Don't ask, “What career should this student choose?” Ask, “Whose dream is this?”
A Career Coach should help students separate their own aspirations from parental expectations, social status and peer pressure.
