My father has always done things that have made him happy and what inspires me is that he never said that he regrets the decisions he made in his life. He once said to me that, “Sanya there’s no perfect job in this world and every job is a dream job. What matters is where your potential lies. Believe in yourself and your capabilities as it’s you who is doing that job, not vice versa. So choose a profession that suits you, not you suiting to that profession.”

As for me, I have nothing much to share because I have seen both sides of the coin in my home. I have seen someone who hasn't chosen a career of his preference and I have even seen another person who had a job of his own choice and never regretted it, rather enjoyed it. Maybe that's why my concepts are clear as to what I want to go after. My pursuit is in the field of writing and speaking. Furthermore, I also love volunteering for social causes and upliftment of people, and accordingly, after a thorough reckoning of what I want to do, I have decided to go into the field of journalism. Writing for bringing a change in the lives of many, using my voice for the not so privileged, questioning the norms of our society, and trying to bring in a change are a few of the things which I want to achieve and I believe going into journalism will make it happen.

For past generations, choosing a career was more about financial security and stability but now professional satisfaction and happiness are also an equally important part of it. It is indeed a major life decision, however, one should not feel as if their entire life depends on the one decision they take after/during their higher studies.
