The world of work is changing rapidly. Jobs are evolving, some disappearing entirely, while new, unforeseen opportunities are emerging. Here's why understanding the future of work and entrepreneurship is critical for young children, and why it shouldn't be seen as just another career choice:

Sure, MBBS and Engineering are great!  But what if there's more?  Do you dream of becoming an environment filmmaker, a data scientist, or a climate change warrior?    Satrangi Gurukul  says it's time to break free!

Why the Queue?

Societal expectations shouldn't limit your future. Parents might push for "stable" careers, but true happiness lies in pursuing your true calling.  Not everyone needs to follow the same path!

The World Needs YOU!

The world needs artists, entrepreneurs, and innovators just as much as doctors and engineers.  New-age careers offer exciting challenges and the chance to make a real difference.  The opportunities are HUGE!

MBBS and Engineering remain popular choices in India, recent data suggests a potential need for a shift towards a more balanced market. Here's a breakdown based on research:

MBBS & Engineering Graduates:

  • Supply: India has over 500 medical colleges enrolling nearly 75,000 MBBS students annually. The number of engineering graduates is significantly higher.

  • Demand: The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates a doctor-to-population ratio deficit in India. However, achieving this ratio might not reflect future needs, especially with changing demographics and healthcare advancements. 

Emerging Opportunities and Shortages:

  • Data Science & AI: A NASSCOM report suggests a demand for over 2 million skilled professionals in AI and data science. Current talent shows a big gap to meet this demand.

  • Entrepreneurship & Innovation: The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) report highlights a need for fostering a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem in India.

  • Climate Change & Sustainability: As environmental challenges intensify, there's a growing demand for professionals in renewable energy, green technology, and sustainable development.

The takeaway?

While MBBS and Engineering are valuable fields, the future of work demands a broader skillset.  Encouraging children to explore diverse opportunities can help bridge the talent gap and prepare them for a rapidly evolving market.

So, how can you get your child started?

  • Encourage Curiosity:  Spark their interest in how things work and how problems can be solved.

  • Embrace Play:  Let them experiment, build, and create freely.

  • Model Risk-Taking:  Show them that failure is a stepping stone, not a dead end.

  • Support Exploration:  Expose them to diverse career paths and encourage them to dream big.

The future of work is full of possibilities. By nurturing an entrepreneurial mindset in your child today, you're giving them the tools and confidence to thrive in a world of endless potential.
