Lack Of Career Counseling (Key Problem Of Students)

Student life is full of charm and enjoy and everyone who is in practical life always seems missing his/her student life. But the student life also has challenges and problems of its own. The students of developing countries like Pakistan have lots of problems, such as financial problems, poor transportation system, language barrier, incompetent teachers and many more.

One of the problems faced by students is that usually they are not free to choose study programmes of their own choice. Parents normally impose upon them a field of study which may not be suitable for the child or which he doesn’t feel comfortable with to study. This is a very common problem of our society. A student may want to be a journalist or a photographer but his parents may select engineering for him. So when he gets admission to the engineering college, he does not perform well. He then starts to feel that he is not fit for the field.

Parents should think about it and stop imposing study programmes on their children. They should only inform them about the scope and problems of every field, and let them choose a study programme.Students when pass their matriculation examinations they face too much confusion about the selection of their further studies. They don’t know which one study area is best for them. Most of the students don’t know the different areas of study rather than Engineering and Medical due to lack of the counseling. They got admission in these sequences and didn’t have enough marks because it was not their interest area. So they can’t get admission in medical or engineering colleges. At that time they are very upset and thinking of their career.The need for career guidance and counseling in Pakistan has grown significantly during last few years especially for school and colleges students. This is because of the following factors:

First, rapid changes in technology, and lack of skills and resources in our students to cope with these changes.

Second, lack of informed, relevant and clear guidance.

Third, lack of trained teachers and counselors in career guidance in our schools and colleges.

Career guidance and counseling services need could only be filled if school educate and train their teachers in the use of career guidance and counseling tools and techniques. And adopt a comprehensive career guidance model.

As it is said by William Shakespeare “I wasted time, and now doth time waste me.”

So I believe that students at middle or higher level should be provided with the guidance about career identification and selection of field of specialization within that career by connecting their resources so they got maximum output out of it and their field of interest by taking ability tests and personality assessment so they will be guided properly for a bright future of individuals and nations and with the freedom to choose their field but with the proper guidance. 

The Only Relation Friendship, Never Dies :) :) :) Friends Like U are Rare And Few.

I wish that I could explain to you how much you mean to me. I was a completely different person before we met. I was quiet, shy, never fully trusting another person. You’ve shown me that it’s ok to be who I am, and that the people who really love me won’t think any less of me for it.

I wish I could tell you how much I own this brotherly relation with you. But there just are not words, are there? The friendship we have is the kind that only comes along once in a lifetime or atleast in ISB. The kind where we can know what the other thinks and feels without saying a word. You friendship means everything to me- as the concept of Dosti is concerned and there really isn’t another way to put it.

I wish you nothing but the best in your new life. It breaks my heart knowing that I won’t see you every day. I genuinely hope that you find all the happiness you deserve.

If I try to remember or have a glance of past days,I still can clearly remember that how did you put forward your efforts on daily basis to call me back when I had a quit here and went back to home additionaly i also had an emotional catastrophe due to some absurd relation and it was only you and not other than you who embraced me and offered your time,your energy,your experience and your wishes to me in order to make me come back.

if I simply say that it was only you who could recognize me well then I think it would be 2^nd to no fact.i will always remember your poetry,your beaytiful singings,your great and timely mimics and above all I will miss your latest poem you just wrote for me on my…..

I have nothing to offer you currently but its my promise with my own self  that when I will be able to and I.A I will be,I will eagerly love to pay you back for all those beautiful deeds.i know these are not some credits but I want to do some thing special as you did for me.

May you get success by leaps and bounds.and good bye from my side my dearest friend in ISB,Syed Ahtasham Hussain Shah.

Your Foolish Friend.

A Helping Hand...As Worthy As a life Some Times.

Dear readers As we are all human beings and induction of problems and complex situations is common in our life,specially when you are a student and living as a hosteled one.

This problem actually severs  when some one gets entangled in such a situation when he becomes unable to transform his views before his other fellows.There can be a number of reasons for  that like if he is a new student he may not trust every one new to him,he may be afraid of geting exploited,there can be some form of trust deficit and foremost the new and alien environment is the key reason for not sharing his problems.

but still there are many angle nature d persons you find at every new place.i believe this world is still going on because of these types of people.such people can be simply recognized because of their self sacrificing habits.simply saying such true nature d people gradually attract your trust and for the sake of your good only.i remember once i read Aristotle's famous saying that sincere friends are those who desire the good of their friends the the sake of friend's good.

when you are new in an environment or alien to that,your survival and fitness to that new environment is the biggest question mark there.you try to hide and hide all the experiences you happen to face and do not dare to share with any one.Actually b y doing this you as a student can be detracted easily.simply your depression and fear can be felt from your face because you are alien to that environment but not every body.if you some how try to overcome that depression then you may be a strong and emotionally stable person but what to do if you fail to overcome that situation...?you know you should try to keep yourself in touch with the people whom you have your trust,to whom you could share your feelings and emotions.those people can be your parents,your elder brother,your child hood friend or a cousin etc.but if you find no body there with you at the place in case you are hosteled then try to find that angle natured person who is always available in every environment.i firmly believe where there are pack of evils the dots of virtues are also there near by.

Try to find a fried that is worth trustworthy to whom you could share your emotional and institutional problems.i assure you,you will definitely find him/her. :)

Some times his honest opinions and suggestions can work as antidote for you.some times you just need to have a little push and a helping hand on your shoulder.he just gives you that helping hand :).
