As Confucius said, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life,” one should always opt for a stream of studies that matches with their skill-set and liking. Choosing the best-suited course after passing your grade 12 is undoubtedly the most confusing and tough decision of your life. While there are multiple degrees and professional courses that one could go for, you should not randomly decide on a course. Instead, your choice of what you want to do in college should be well-aligned with what you want to do in life and what are the career prospects you are considering. You should also check the job opportunities related to the courses you shortlist, as that's an essential factor.
