Avtaar Education Revenue and Competitors

Most young people wish they had made better career choices. Often limited by marks or peer and parental pressure, young adults find themselves in jobs they do not find fulfilling and increasingly having to decide if they need to make the hard choice of ‘throwing away' the years of college and work to finally pursue their interests or continue to make peace with their own selves. On reflection, most adults wish they had been truer to their own nature and pursued alternate careers. They wish they had been guided better in their younger years. High school students are largely unaware of their own preferences to work environments and requirements, relying instead on circumstances, opinions and experiences shared by family and friends. Middle school students are marked out for careers not on their motivation or interest but on their marks on written exams. From the age of 10 years, most children are on an assembly line that directs them through pre-determined filters to jobs that will not exist a few years hence. The accelerated rate of change in jobs necessitates a decided shift from this type of career decision making. It is entirely possible to pursue work that is meaningful and profitable and in tune with areas of interest and natural talents. It requires not being limited and coerced by marks or expectations but actively seeking to discover and nurture one's own interests, motivations and aspirations. It requires persistent and ongoing effort to become aware of the world of opportunities and seek knowledgeably for one's own place in it. Avtaar is a career discovery product that provides students with opportunities to explore their childhood wish-list, personality, values and select professions that most closely meet their ikigai.
