IIT Career Planning

  • "Do what you like and the money will follow." If you work at something you like, you will be good at it, and the best people usually rise to the top. Don't do something just for the money unless you do not have any better options.



  • It is becoming common for a person to have more than one career in a lifetime. Engineers, computer scientists, and entrepreneurs may change the type of work they do as many as five times in a lifetime.


  • "When in doubt aim high." Always aim for the highest paid career that also has the most demanding educational requirements. If you try the hardest first, and decide it's too tough, or you just don't like it, at least you will have tried it. It's easy to move to a field with lower educational requirements. It's impossible to move up once you've started.



  • "Without a plan, you are like a bullet with no target." Without a career plan you will be blown off course by the slightest breeze. Without a good career plan experienced professionals can stall and stagnate and become targets for downsizing. Without a good career pan college students are likely to change majors, lose credits, drop out, or take too long to graduate. When times get tough, and the classes become hard, self doubt begins to creep in. Having a firm career direction will help keep the student on track during tough times.



  • Retirement is a thing of the past. We human beings have an intrinsic need to add value, to contribute, to be a part of something. That need doesn't stop at age 65. If you are over 50 years old you probably want to start planning for a career that will suit your needs after official retirement.


In broader outlooks, this only means that not getting into the IITs doesn't mean the end of your dreams. It just means that your goal might be a bit harder to reach since you dont have the paths frequently walked down.


Remember that your goal is not getting into IITs, but having a successful and fulfilling career. Instead of moping about and wondering whether or not you'll make it to the IITs, if you have even a bit of self-doubt creeping into your mind, stop now. Plan out your career. Research. Decide what you want to do with your life.... It is never too late to decide what you want to be.... And where you want to be.


This doesn't mean that you need to give up your dreams... It only means that you should be preplanned about what you want to achieve with regards to your career. Though some might say that your career planning actually starts after Graduation, you've decided it by the time you elected for a particular stream after your 10th grade. Always have a backup plan.
