I would have been so glad if schools did prepare any toddler or children for their professional life. But unfortunately, educational institutes have became a, uh, source of earning money, and teachers are employed on minimum wages. Uh, so students are, uh, supposed to give hefty amounts of fees, and in return, they don’t get a good educational journey and counseling. So young students are not able to learn much about their professional lives. When they step in the real world, uh, they face immense amount of difficulties, and some of them even fail to climb their professional ladder. And then they have to take online courses or enroll themselves into a diploma or other, uh, short courses so they can be, uh, given a job. As schools don’t, uh, pay attention to prepare students, uh, for their professional journey, which is quite unfortunate.

I wish schools did a better job of preparing young people for their professional lives. Unfortunately, many educational institutions have become focused on generating revenue, and teachers are often underpaid. Students are expected to pay high fees, but they don't always receive a quality education or adequate career guidance. As a result, many young people are unprepared for the challenges of the working world. When they enter the workforce, they often face significant difficulties and struggle to advance in their careers. Many end up taking online courses, diplomas, or other short programs to gain the skills and knowledge they need to be successful. It's unfortunate that schools don't prioritize preparing students for their professional journeys, as this lack of preparation can have a lasting impact on their future success.
