5. Facts and Figures!
Case1
In the U.S., a researcher
interviewed 1,500
students and classified
them into two categories:
those who were in it for
the money (1,245) and
those who were going to
use the degree to do
something they cared
deeply about (255).
Twenty years later, the
researcher found that
101 of them were
millionaires and all but
one of those millionaires
came from the 255
people who pursued
what they loved to do.
Case2
Long term research has
shown that when people
focus on their natural
abilities and follow a
strategic plan based on a
strong Personal Career
Vision, they experience
the profound and lasting
benefits of reduced
stress, decreased
burnout, and the highest
levels of satisfaction and
balance.
Case3
A study of Harvard
students, ten years after
graduation, found that
those who had specific
goals for their futures
made salaries three times
higher than that of their
classmates who did not
have specific goals. The
3% who actually had
written goals were
earning ten times more.

SCIENCE: This stream, as all of us know, needs a lot of concentration and peace of mind. This needs a lot of hard work, patience and dedication towards all the subjects in it. You cannot be lenient and think that you could do it at the eleventh hour. The science of higher secondary is much more than the science we learnt till 10th. So only if you're very much interested and are ready to put all of yourself into it, you should go for science!
COMMERCE: This stream is all about your understanding, logical, practical and analytical skills. In short, you need to use your brain in this. You need to analyse things and apply the logic, understand the meaning and think about it practically, and you're done with it. Also, if you're interested to learn something new and all about business, you should go for this stream. But this too, needs concentration and of course, hard work.
HUMANITIES or ARTS: This stream mainly deals with literal, social, psychological, etc subjects. If literature is your thing, humanities is your stream! This also offers knowing the inside out of the world, and if you're interested in knowing ABOUT the world, then you should go for this! This offers the study about humans as the name says, and thus needs a lot of logic! Now, for understanding the brain, you need to use your brain to the fullest! Also if you're into media, or wish to be, then you should definitely go for this! This stream is emerging like never before and is equally offering a vast variety of career options as other streams are! If you wish to do something out of the way and want to stand out of the crowd, go for this!
