Knowledge and Education: Youth Battle

Career & Future Prospects- Competition for Future

After passing childhood, we enter adolescence, which comes with the wishes of settling down in the future by aiming to establish a stable career. Because earning a livelihood and getting life security is very tough in developing countries like India. And for that everybody needs some skills and talent and a lot of hard work with proper guidance in the right way. Financial sources and social cooperation are helpful to succeed in life for making a career, but individual skills and talent determine the path of success for everyone,

The reason being our education decides the way of the person who we are and what we are. The learning system, which we have followed since our childhood prepares our foundation for tomorrow. And if it is damaged, it creates unbearable hurdles and hindrances to settle in our life. Our academic education helps us to be a person to be managed in society, but our professional education shows the way to be a breadwinner. Because the actual battle begins with the battle when we fall into the monetary matters in the competitive market.

The major part of the youth population depends on jobs in the government sector and private sector. But the cut-throat competition here challenges us to be perfect in every skill. The cracking examinations of government jobs is a big task which requires a long time of preparation by day and night dedicated hard work to succeed. The private sector also has other concerns which have to do with facing troubles with job responsibilities and dissatisfaction. Having good terms with your peers is also a factor in your success.

The third factor comes with the business opportunities, it has the option of being part of or inheritor of your ancestral business or establishing a new business, which also has challenges to be perfect in your skills and talent. And it also requires financial support and good public relations to get started with the market. Good experience in your subject also determines the backbone of your business.

Even the people who have their own creative and innovative skills have lots of challenges to bring their talent as a business opportunity or an earning source that creates hurdles to make them self-dependent

Needless to say, the market is full of job opportunities, but the question mark is still on unemployment that has remained a critical issue in a huge populated country like India. The major concern among youth is dissatisfaction in jobs not getting their deserving perks and emoluments. And not having to do work as per choice, and there are no security and stability in the private jobs. 

The reasons are many for destroying our youth. The first one is our lack of an education system, which is not able to prepare our youth to be established breadwinners or to develop professional skills to get self-dependent and self-reliant. Because there are no programs in the education system which can prepare our children to be confident and competitive to face the future market. Their shyness makes them introverted and restricted to certain areas. They are not taught to face the monetary and commercial challenges to be professional. Furthermore, the family culture and social obligations also make them weaker to fight with the system.

Even after getting many higher degrees from colleges, many people are still not able to perform well in their respective areas or subjects. And they are compelled to work in lower positions and work areas. They are not grown as to their individual level to perform the tasks that are held them to be successful professionally. So they look for conventional job opportunities where they can earn their livelihood being in their comfort zones.

Moreover, there are also other parts of youth who are skillful, talented, and knowledgeable, but do not get any support from the government or are misled due to the corruption prevalent in the system, which results in young people being propelled to illegal activities and corrupted ventures.

The Covid-19 also brought many hardships for everyone in the form of a diminishing economy and inflation in essentials. The future has become uncertain for many people due to closing their businesses and bearing huge losses. So the question of youth well-being is a big concern of India, where 40% of the population is battling in their life for daily essentials and necessities or depending on unreasonable sources.

Consequently, there are parameters that need to be taken into attention so that from childhood everyone can grow up as a perfect soldier to win a battle of their life. So that life can be pleasurable and full of contentment for all by fulfilling their dreams and visions for the bright future.
