Some of my classmates chose our course because it is what their parents want them to take..Some says that it'll be hard for students to concentrate or perform well if they don't have interest on what they do..Is it really true?? It was my own decision to take my course..How about you? :)

I picked the course that I wanted to take. If I was going to learn something that I was going to be doing for my life, it would be something I wanted to do not something my parents wanted me to learn. I am happy I chose the course I did, even if I am having a hard time find a good job.

I took up arts thinking that the science and commerce field is really hard-working. Also students get very less time to enjaoy college life. Hence i went on for the arts and took up psycology as my subject of interest and today i feel i took a right decision bcoz i am on a post of manager earning good income. In India after 10th you have to choodse three fields arts, commerce , science. Psycology, politics, fine arts, fashion, literature, sociology comes under arts. Engineering, doctor, surgery, pharmaceuticals, IT, computers comes under science. Finance, book-keeping, management, chartered accountant comes under commerce.
