Describe a job that you think is interesting.
Part 3 Follow Up Questions
- What jobs are popular among younger people in India?
The most popular jobs among youth nowadays are jobs in I.T and jobs in social media. Many
youngsters have their own YouTube and Instagram channels and they look it as a career rather than
as a hobby. Besides that, many are also taking up sports as a career because of successful sports
leagues like IPL in cricket. - What are the differences between high-paid jobs and low-paid jobs in India?
In India, mental acumen is given much more importance than physical labour. So people with good
academics get much higher salaries than people who do physical labour like plumbers, carpenters
and so on.
Secondly, in India status mainly comes from wealth, so high paid jobs are given more respect than
low paid jobs. - What is the proper time for young people to plan their future career seriously?
I think the right time for young people to plan their future is around the age of sixteen to eighteen.
By this time, they have studied different subjects and have a good idea about what interests them.
Moreover, by this age most children have become mature to take decisions after careful
consideration rather than based on their whims and fancies. - Which jobs have the highest salaries?
I think artists like actors and singers earn the highest salaries nowadays. In the traditional sectors, I
think jobs in I.T and management have the highest salaries on average. Finally, people can also earn
a lot of money in commission based jobs like sales, but the average salaries in sales are not that
extreme. - Which jobs pay low wages but require a high level of skills?
In my countries, there are jobs in sectors like woodwork, plumbing and auto repair, which are
highly skill based. However, their pay scale is much less than they deserve. But, In recent years,
there has been a change in this and even people in such fields have started earning well. - Do you think it is important for secondary schools to offer career advice to students?
I think there is no harm in schools in offering career advice to students as students don’t have the
maturity or experience in determining what they should pursue. However, I also believe that
students should ultimately take the decision themselves
