hello to one and all , when a 17 year boy or girl pass with flying colour in there 12th exam they them self dont know what are they going to do after it, and it is true some only 5 % of peole realy know what and how they are going to choose there carrier and what exately they are going to do. rest all belive and realy on luck and fait but it is not right and not corrt to do as we our self is spoling our life and our childrens life , We should help then to plan, guide and help them so that they should not feel inthe long run that the path which they have choosend is not correct and they made a mistake in ther life , they should knw the good and the bad points of all the coures they should be fully aware of what and were they are heading to , so it our the duty of one and all the teachers , parents and friend to help one and all childrens to chose there way and not fourse them to do aany thing which they dont like.

What to do in life? This is a million dollar question. In my opinion 17 years is too young a age to decide what one is going to do for the rest of his life. There seems to be no clear solution here. Parents should try and expose their children to as many life situation as possible. Carrer counselling and aptitude tests ,are other options, but cannot be relied on. The best thing would be to take a year off and ponder things over if the student is not sure.

Sound advice. It's the same advice my father gave me when I was graduated from high school; take a year off and work while deciding what to do. I didn't do it and I regret it.
