My son is in 10th class. We are confused for his career path. Which stream e.g. science, commerce or arts he should select for better future?

Ans: It is natural for your son to look for direction from parents and teachers. Seek out from him subjects that interest him the most, the scores he gets in those subjects, what does he want to do once he grows up to get a sense of direction he is seeking. It is best to not impose one's own will on a child. I would, therefore, suggest you seek his interest areas but let him decide.

My nephew has appeared for class 10 exam from CBSE this year. He wanted to pursue research and be a scientist but is now confused about his stream. He is good at math, analytical skills but doesn't like biology. Should he opt for science or commerce? Would CA or commerce be a good option for him?
Ans: Thank you for the question. In my understanding, your nephew enjoys Physics and chemistry. Research in these areas can also be taken. We dont need to take biology as a subject he he does not enjoy studying that subject.
If his science scores are consistently high and he likes exploring newer areas of learning, research can be a very good avenue. Since you say that his analytical skills is good and he is good at math too, you can look at computing sciences, applied mathematics, data sciences and Design engineering. Please note, computing sciences is slightly different than computer science. Applied math and Big Data is an upcoming area of study and with good analytical skills, he should be able to do that.
Research can be done in any area. One must understand that research is "finding, critiquing, analysing sources of information and rationalising to investigate a particular scenario". Now this can be done in any field - from history to molecular genetics.

Based on the information you have shared here, I wold suggest he keeps his science options open and opts for PCMC in his 11th and 12th. He can focus on building his analytical skills by participating in high school research groups and learn ways to investigate data.

I want career guidance for my son studying in 10th grade in CBSE pattern. He usually secures 85% overall. He stays confused in which stream to choose further. He usually gets good marks in Maths, Physics and Chemistry. He has an introvert personality. He likes playing xbox and cricket and also pursing Keyboard music classes under Trinity Music school certification program. He follows US youtube channels like Dude perfect, Mr.Beast etc and likes exploring latest tech gadgets or mobile apps or mobile features etc. He sometimes like watching Shark tank India episodes etc, but he can't understand the business discussion part. Please suggest which career stream which will suit him well. Thanks.
Ans: I have read your personal evaluation of your son as a doting parent.
I can only advice based on the observations made by you.

In these situations these are called reactive counselling which will not be accurate simply because I haven't heard from the incumbent.
The child is talented and has a creative mind too with the music school certification too!
The mind is experimental looking for new creative challenges.

The career stream should be based on the candidates acumen and aptitude.
Prima facie you have knocked out business and commerce based on your statement can't understand business ...!

Synopsis:gets good marks in Maths, Physics and Chemistry

So science stream is suggested, however need to meet candidate for professional career counselling.

All the best in the most important decision!
