Education enables every human to live their best life and to handle different situations that life may present to them. Every individual has the right to get educated. Every person has special skills and abilities. One only needs to identify and tap into that potential. Some gifted, driven students plan and join courses of their choice. Most students are confused with the number of courses available to them. They are not confident if they are making the right choices or whether they will do well in the course they choose.
This book is an attempt to highlight course options for those students who do not take the formal education route like graduation, post-graduation, doctoral programmes or correspondence or open university courses. Such students still have many options open to them. One may have a good voice, love for animals, passion for cooking, an eye to capture the beauty of nature, ability to dance, skills in music, etc. They can all get trained and take up lucrative careers of their choice based on their aptitude.
Self-confidence, perseverance, grit, motivation to achieve, and passion are absolutely needed for a student to be successful. Make your choices based on your aptitude and interest. Once you put in the effort from your side, success will follow.
