Career stereotypes killing dreams

I have made endless mistakes but one thing I will never regret is choosing a career path based on my passion. Parents are quick to refrain their children from career paths such as music, drama and other art-related courses, deeming them ‘mock career paths’.

You need that Theatre Arts major to push our film industry to the next level. Young innovative minds are pressured to pursue marketable career paths but they are never encouraged to follow hobbies and talents.

Passion is key to having a fulfilling career. Let’s stop coercing our kids into medicine, law, engineering and the like. Give all careers same value to promote economic development in different sectors.
