I really don’t care which background you come from, what degree you have, or what your passion is. I will be providing a general solution that could really change your life, and I’d love for you to come back and comment how you this changed your life.

Let’s jump right in..

It’s not about what options we have after acquiring a degree

It is what we do with our degrees.

You see, Many a times while we hunt for different career options at an age right after school, a linear roadmap to career is pointed towards by our teachers, parents and or relatives.

For e.g we are told If you choose science stream, you either become a doctor, nurse or vet.

If you choose engineering, You either choose aeronautical and become a pilot, or an architect or get into civils.

If you choose psychology, you either become a school psychologist, or a social worker.

They plant seed into our brain making us believe that there are these limited options we can choose after pursuing a certain degree.

Some qualifications will make you rich, some degrees will keep you at a lower salary segment.

But today?

The world has evolved and so is the education and career systems.

The concrete choices don’t exist anymore. 

Today we have a freedom to utilize the knowledge and skill from whichever background we come from. And scale it to become wealthy and have an equally important role to serve in the community as any higher profession.

The only roadmap, you can use is.

A portion of your qualified knowledge

A portion of your natural talent

A portion of skills you can develop that can act as a catalyst in combing the above mentioned qualities.

Examples again.

If you are a Psychology student, You studied that but being just a psychologist with minimal wage isn’t your career goal.

Your natural talent is Writing! You love writing, you wanted to be a writer 

So, now all you have to do is learn some additional skills that would combine your psychology knowledge with your writing skills.

Like, Copywriting, Learn the editing methods, learn the Frameworks, apply your knowledge of psychology blend it with some other skills like digital marketing, Educate yourself about the basics, Now you are already ahead of 80% of the copywriters out there.

This could open several doors for you.

So, the takeaway here is that, You must Focus on the Transferable skills, combine it with what you are naturally drawn to, and start building a life you always wanted.

2024 is the era of Career Revolution, where the choices are limitless, the knowledge is free, and Money is awaiting your effort.

So, take as much benefit from this new Change and don’t be afraid to blend in.

Break free from the Rigid mentality and explore the opportunities.
