Answer 1

Every human has an inherent aptitude for something or the other, and one of the main objectives of life is finding that something. Once a person has discovered his passion, it is impossible to part him from it. Unfortunately, it is not always simple to find one’s passion. The society has evolved clear cut ‘roles’ for which everyone has to adjust their passions. For example, a child with the aptitude for science is coerced to become a doctor or an engineer. However, things have started to change, with the modernization and expansion of the economies more lucrative, thrilling and diverse career options are coming to light.

Gone are the days when one was expected to be either a doctor, or an engineer, or a lawyer; the only jobs considered worth following. They were like prestige symbols that added to the family's status in society. Today, as I stand on the brink of choosing a profession, I stand spoilt for choice. My interests are many-my aptitude? I still having to unveil it! It is time for me to mull over the possibilities. After all, I'm special and I want to do something unconventional. I think I'll go for anything that requires oodles of creativity like advertizing, writing, music, painting, etc. But, my talents in these fields are still nascent. Will I be able to turn them into career prospective?
I've always been interested in travelling. I've travelled widely in India and aspire to go abroad. I know quite a lot about the countries of the world. A travel consultant; that's what I want to be. My dream job!!!!! Having all the inside dope on exotic destinations, planning people's itineraries and organizing their trip - well, maybe I can do this some day! My interests don't stop there. I'm good at managing events; whether they are home parties, community get-together, or school functions. I can give a try in Event Management. One can do it even without a degree in the subject. A lot of zest and energy and oodles of confidence; I've got them all!
I'm interested in cooking. I dole out exotic food stuff, in a jiffy! Healthy, tasty, eye-catching and mouth-watering! May be I can start a restaurant! A speciality, up-market restaurant. But alas ! It requires oodles of money.
Taking into consideration my computer skills' I can become a Video game designer. Designers can also move up to be creative directors as well. However, one needs to have strong skills in computer programming, computer engineering, software development, computer animation, graphic design and computer graphics - or all of them! Will I be able to master the tricks?
But, what about my inherent desire to do something for the country, or the world, or the environment at large! I'm really pained at the way people treat Mother Nature. If I can become an Environmental Engineer, I can contribute my mite for the well being of the humanity. It is the application of science and engineering principles to improve the natural environment. Environmental engineers also address local and worldwide environmental issues such as the effects of acid rain, global warming, ozone depletion, water pollution and air pollution from auto-mobile exhausts and industrial sources.
How deeply satisfying a job it would be for me! Yes, I've made up my mind. This is going to be the aim of my life. It'll be exciting, and at the same time give me a sense of worth as I'll be doing a service to the humanity in general and specifically for the future generation.
