My MBBS collegue who chose MBA from IIM Banglore post MBBS is working at Mckinsley and Co with 30 LPA. One collegue who chose Maths over Biology after 10th standard is working with 40 LPA package.
I chose to do PG in pediatrics. I am still studying, confused whether to go for SS or not. (3 years more wait)
Now, Is this about earning? No. Doctors do earn well even if we start late.
But this is about career opportunities available.
When I was in 10th standard, I was given choice between Maths and Biology. Commerce, Arts were funnily brought in conversation.
I made choice of Biology as per my limited knowledge that engineers don't earn well, atleast what I had heard at that time with all the jokes on engineers. Also, my family has medical background so.
Currently, I am very much doubting what I did, again not because of earnings but maybe, If I were given understanding of all the options and career opportunities in all of them, I would have made different choice.
Message here is, at the age of 15 years, your child is understanding enough that if you explain well to them, they will make an informed choice. Career counselling is an important thing.
