Shravan Shetty is "Making India Career Aware" and is known as "The Career Coach."
There are more than 365 occupations out there, and we need help deciding which one is right for us. Young people now have the difficult task of deciding on a career path and developing a plan to get there.
According to many surveys, the typical Indian child is only aware of seven different job paths. When it comes to their professional lives, people choose either the path that is frequently travelled or the path that is less frequently travelled. The children of rich families have a better chance of succeeding. Even they are unable to find their way. They require guidance in choosing a profession. Only a select few people who live in less fortunate circumstances are able to see their hopes and aspirations realised in their lifetimes.
People in the middle class navigate life with the assistance of their families, friends, and teachers. Shravan Shetty had every intention of following in his father's footsteps in Mangalore, where his father was a distinguished academician and dentist. Despite his best efforts, Shravan was not successful in the first year of his pre-university study. In order for him to redo the Pre-University year, his parents moved the family to a more rural area. After suffering a string of setbacks, he was forced to reevaluate his rash choice of profession. He gave some thought to pursuing a degree in law as well as in psychology as possible career paths. Because he did not know enough about either of these jobs to persuade his parents, he did not receive assistance to pursue either one of them. His early encounters with disappointment inspired him to read works by authors such as Swami Vivekananda, Dale Carnegie, Dr. Wayne Dyer, and Napoleon Hill, as well as works by other authors writing in the same genre.
