Thank you for starting this important thread.

I am not sure about the structure in India as to how one can get the career advice.

In UK, the government has set up the Careers Advice Service Centers. They offers practical advice to help you make the right career.

Careers guidance is the support offered by qualified and experienced advisers to help you work through the process of career choice. It is impartial, confidential, and is focused on your individual needs. Careers guidance can help you clarify where you are in the process identify what you need to do next and how to go about it.

In the absence of such career advice centers, it is a good idea that our Samaj set up workshops where such advice may be sought by the students.
