Careers: Parents Deciding Kids Future

Parents Deciding Kids Future

Written by Bilal Shah

In countries like Pakistan, my country, it is a moral value that what your elders decide goes no matter how big or personal repparttar

matter is that is even about their careers or even worse their weddings.

Hey I am not saying that these decisions totally go wrong or something, they are quite experienced people and have seen high and lows of life and some of repparttar 107101 decisions are really master strokes and it is helpful when repparttar 107102 kids are spoilt for choices that is can't decide or confused or know nothing what is going around (Yeah I know these kind of people and I advise them to listen to their parents) but people don't really face same experiences in their lives, some thing that was miraculous to someone may turn out to be a nightmare for someone else.

It worsens when they almost force their children what they feel is right for them. When a girl is doing well in her studies then she will/have to become a doctor and for boys it is Engineering or one other option is BBA (He may choose to be doctor that is also okay) even if he she wanted to be a fashion designer or something. A example of this sort happened when brother of my friend was forced to be a doctor when he really wanted to do hotel management .Now repparttar 107103 guy is sick of his life as he is sensitive and can't stand burnt or bruised people. This could easily been avoided if his parents respected their son's wish and helped him on his way instead of making him take profession of their choice. (It is also because a Doctor or Engineer is a highly respected person in our society and someone related to him/her is also respected). How can somebody do something when not interested in it he would make matters worse for him and also for repparttar 107104 people around him. One of my classmate fells in repparttar 107105 same category as he has no interest in repparttar 107106 subject whatsoever and unfortunately for me he is in my group so we have to cope with his lack of co-operation and do his work, which makes us frustrated and angry at times. One misplaced being making all of us feeling miserable.
