Job Pressure on Students: In today's competitive era, the competition to get a job has become so dominant on college students that they have started feeling unnecessary pressure. This is known as 'pre-professional pressure'. This is a mindset in which students feel that college is the only platform to get a job.

In such a situation, if they choose options other than a few select fields in graduation, they will be underestimated. Of course, getting a secure and well-paid job after graduation is every student's dream, but should this be the only goal? 

Instead, your goal in college should be to explore your academic interests, even if they are not directly related to your career. To avoid pre-professional pressure dominating you, you have to take care of some special things.

The first goal should be to study

Every student's dream is to get a job in a big company. For this reason, they start participating in various campus placement programs from the first year of college. Seeing the glamour and results of these programs, they start feeling unnecessary pressure. Of course, you should join such programs, but only to gain experience. Do not let the thought and pressure of a job dominate you before the third year of college. In the first three years, focus more on your studies.

Enjoy your interests

You should not go to college only to get good grades or a better job, but you should also use it to make yourself and your resume perfect. For this, try to learn in different fields through internships, projects, and workshops, so that you can get better job opportunities in the future. Also, instead of suppressing your interests, enjoy them openly.

Do introspection

You should do introspection before taking admission in college. For this, ask yourself what you want to get from college: just a job or complete development of yourself? The time spent in college is a journey in which you develop the ability to know yourself, become capable, and make a meaningful contribution to society.

Role of parents

Finally, the role of parents is also very important to ensure that they do not put unnecessary pressure on their children. They should give priority to their interests and happiness, not just safe career options. Let them do what makes them happy and mentally strong.
