Lack Of Career Counseling In Pakistan

Career counseling means guidance for selection of the career. I am sure most of you would have heard around you people choosing the careers for them and then regretting it afterwards. This is all cause of lacking career counseling.

In Pakistan career counseling is lacking the most. Because the parents do not pay attention towards the aptitude of the student and make him/her do what they cannot. The parents consider themselves as the best counselors for their child but it is not the reality.

Lack Of Career Counseling In Pakistan

In Pakistan aptitude tests are conducted that should help students in making a choice of their careers but unfortunately they are not even helpful in our country. Then we come to counselors, in Pakistan they are just doing this work to earn money. This is not at all helpful for the students.

Lack of proper training of career counselors and then the least concern of counsels towards the choice making of their careers is resulting in making choice of careers without any help. Although parents start nourishing child’s brain to do what they want them to, but it is not possible to stop the mind to find new ways. And in this time of fast media it is totally impossible for parents to confine students mind to something that is nearly impossible for them to do.

Thus this all result in wrong decisions and then life-long regrets. But yes a parent can guide their children that they get the education as per their wish but then they are not confined to opt the same field, if they want to acquire some other field and make a difference in his society he may.

For example, a parent may tell his child to do graduation in the subjects according to parents wish and then if they really want, they may go for some other field. One thing that really matters in student’s life is getting education. Once it is done and parents are satisfied that he have something to fall back upon the can set him free to nurture himself and his abilities.

Here comes the career counseling that he will be needing very desperately and to find the best way for him to get what he desire for. But the reason that career counselors are not well-prepared may result in a disastrous ends to their wish and dreams.
