If you are a recent pass out from 10th class, the very first and obvious question you would encounter is — Which stream have you decided to choose for further studies? And the options that you will be presented with would be Science and Commerce stream.
Arts, on the other hand, has a reputation of being considered a less rewarding career although that’s not at all true. But the basis of the decision lacks thorough research and little to no consideration of the student’s interests. Let’s dive in further to explore the best career options after the 10th class for students.
- Science Stream:
There are ample opportunities for a student to choose from depending on their calibre and interests. Engineering, Medical and IT are some of the popular fields that one can tread into after the completion of their 10th class. The field enables one’s intelligence and to be smarter with problem-solving abilities. Adding to the merits of choosing a science stream is that students can easily switch to Commerce or Arts later if they wish to discontinue.
Popular Career Options:
- Bachelor of Dental Surgery
- B. Sc in Advanced Zoology and Biotechnology
- Bachelor of Physiotherapy
- BE Mechanical Engineering
- Bachelor of Design
- Commerce Stream:
If finances and economics fascinate you, then venturing into Commerce would probably be the best bet for you. The career choices that one gets to explore is vast. There are multiple sought after professional and creative courses such as Chartered Accountancy (CA) and Digital Marketing that will help you to utilize the skills you already possess. The Commerce stream is very promising in terms of compensation and also paving way for working opportunities abroad.
Popular Career Options:
- Master of Business Administration
- Chartered Accountancy
- BA in Foreign Language Courses
- Mass Communication Courses
- Bachelor of Business Administration (Marketing, Aviation, Human Resources, etc.)
- Arts/Humanities Stream:
As already mentioned in the beginning, Arts/Humanities is considered to be of low profile but this field is defined with creativity. Do you think creativity overflows through you? People around you might find it weird at times, but if utilised properly at the right place you no longer would be bothered about what others think. Effective communication skills are a must if you are planning to pin yourself in here.
Popular Career Options:
- Tourism Industry
- Hotel Management
- Bachelor of Arts (Psychology, Philosophy, Political Science, etc)
- Advertising, Film Making, Animation, etc
- Fashion Technology
- Polytechnic Courses:
Well, there’s no denying that if there existed a shortcut to things that took longer than usual, we would love to try that out. A student who wants to skip this phase of their learning curve which demands 2 additional years, he/she can opt for diploma courses with a duration of 1, 2 and 3 years. Not only does this save them money, but also helps them get employed early in a particular job role.
Popular Career Options:
- Diploma in Civil Engineering
- Diploma in Mechanical Engineering
- Diploma in Computer Engineering
- Diploma in Aerospace Engineering
- Diploma in Instrumentation Technology
- ITI (Industrial Training Institute):
At times, a student might not be convinced about choosing from the other 3 streams for reasons known to them. If they want to get started with their career without pursuing further studies, this becomes easier for them to get enrolled in these training centres. One can opt for any short technical course they are interested in and get certified to be eligible to work in that particular industry earning a living for themselves.
Popular Career Options:
- Private Sector Jobs
- Hair and Skin Care
- Electrician Engineering
- Secretarial Practice
- Commercial Art
