WHEN parents try to live their dream career through their children, the latter may feel frustrated. “Children are seen as legacy holders of a particular profession. Yet, they may not have the aptitude or interest for the imposed career,” explains Ashok Mittal, Chancellor, Lovely Professional University.
Now, visualise a different scenario; parents allowing their children to follow their dream and extending full moral and financial support. Suggestions being offered when asked, and taking a step back, giving the reigns of accountability to them. What is the result? State Bank of India employee Pradeep Gupta has an answer.
"Children are seen as the legacy holders of a profession"
“I learned various topics in finance and economics, useful in understanding the dynamics of financial markets and is crucial for evaluation of financial risk exposures on complicated financial products.” The result? “I work at a bulge bracket bank and am involved in financial risk management,” says the satisfied bank employee. He is a happy person, so are his parents. “I just ensured that both my children get a nurturing environment at home,” says Mr. Gupta in all humility. He is not willing to take more credit than this.
There are many such examples. Careers360 brings to you stories of five such students from different walks of life, who took disparate routes in a bid to find their mooring. Our Special Correspondent also spoke to their parents to understand what propelled them to put their faith in their children’s abilities. Meet five young guns Rashmima Dutta, Shashank Arun, Gaurie Arora, Anshul Arora and Kabeer Shrivastava who are all following their dreams.
Tryst with biotechnology
“I was always interested in biology but did not want to be a doctor. Biotech fascinated me the most, so I decided to pursue it further”
Gaurie Arora
SRM University
Despite not knowing much about it, these parents allowed their daughter to pursue an upcoming field children to make their own
“My brother is studying in Singapore and now I am out of home in Chennai, too,” says Gaurie Arora, a first-year B.Tech student at SRM University, with a specialisation in biotechnology. The 18-year old is quite aware of the fact that this is agonising for her parents. Yet father Arun and mother Anju readily allowed her to pursue her academic interest. “Though my parents don’t know much about biotechnology, an emerging field, they still let me go,” she shares.
