What I would do better if I can travel back in time

What are the things you think you should have done better

Today, the way of life of people all over the world has completely changed. Especially, the internet has brought about changes in education beyond expectations. The face of education has completely changed from offline to online mode, but in my time, let alone the internet, there were no computers either.

Today, every child has access to knowledge of education on mobile, laptop, and computer. Although it is easy to study oral subjects online, it is a bit difficult to study the same things practically but I think that if this facility was available in my time, I could have done my work faster at the beginning of my corporate job.

Apart from this, in our time, it was difficult for employees to upgrade their skills according to the demand of time because in our time no one even knew the name of a computer. The youth of our time do not know what skills they should adopt for employment.

I was a student of engineering and later did management, but there was no one to guide us and we had no other options apart from engineering, medicine, and becoming a chartered accountant.

I have been fond of traveling and photography right from my childhood and wanted to become a travel blogger and adventure photographer. If someone asks me now, I would tell them how I got advanced photography skills. But at that time we had very few institutes that taught such practical and even if there were, there was no one to guide.

I wanted to go into sports but in my time sport was considered a waste of time. Now I feel that to improve this global skill gap, I have to make more efforts than people of the current generation.

I feel that if we want to give the right skill set to our future, then we need to run such development programs that teach us to keep pace with the changing modern world.

Youth who are willing to learn and move forward should get ample opportunities. The government, industrialists, teachers, citizens, and leaders of society should ensure that the next generation of youth in India is the most skilled, productive, and educated. Because if we do not choose the right path to do skill development, then our future is bound to go into the wrong hands.

How long did it take you to realize you missed that privilege or opportunity to do something better, and how did you feel?

After joining as a floor engineer, I felt that I was wrong in choosing my corporate career. For me, choosing a career was a decision on which your future life depends. So I reconsidered my decision and told the regional manager that I wanted to go into marketing. He told me not to take any decision in haste or without information. If you do so, then you will have to do business management, and the coming time can be full of difficulties for you.

He also said that often people choose a career due to the influence of others and you should choose based on your preferences, interests, and abilities, not by coming under the influence of others. It is important to listen to others but it is not necessary to believe everything they say. He was right but I had decided that if I had to fulfill my dream of traveling, then I had to join a management college. That is what I did.

Give advice to your reader who might be treading at the moment the same path as you

I want to tell my readers not to depend on unauthorized advice and instead take advice from unauthorized or unqualified persons while choosing their careers. You should only take the help of authentic and expert advisors.

Taking advice from all sources is important, but deciding according to your interests will help your cause. You must not choose something because of parental pressure because that might distract you in future. Also, do not choose a career only for money.

I agree that having money is important, but trust me if you do not like that work or have passion for that work, the money will do no good for your career.
