Career
My son got 59% mark in 10th CBSE board exam. Social science 76% Science 70% Mathematics 41% Hindi 48% English 48% I am really worried about his career. He doesn't focus in study, yet he is very much interested in Biology, keeps watching surgeries, specially neuro surgeries related contents and he wants to become a neuro surgeon. He also likes and plays badminton, he is taking coaching in Prakash Padukone Badminton academy since last 3 months. His current study and his career dreams are not matching, it is only wish state, actions are not aligned. I am 53 years, working in private sector, earning 1.5 Lacs per month, affording higher education cost is difficult for me specially, post retirement. 1) Please advise what are the other careers he can choose other than doctor, I believe now a days many other options are available 2) What and how to talk to him so that he takes his study seriously
Ans: (You have NOT mentioned which stream he has joined now for his 11th grade. I assumed that he is currently enrolled in the science stream, specifically studying biology). With a strong interest in neuro-surgeries and a passion for biology but modest academic performance (10th: Science 70%, Social Science 76%, Math 41%), your son can pursue several rewarding biology-related careers without the rigorous pathway of neurosurgery. Options include: biomedical engineer developing medical imaging devices; neuropsychologist assessing brain–behavior relationships; clinical research associate in neuroscience trials; genetic counselor interpreting hereditary conditions; biomedical laboratory scientist specializing in neuropathology; medical device technician or field service engineer; science communicator or medical illustrator; and doctoral-level researcher in neurotechnology .

To realign his study habits with his aspirations and improve focus, adopt a holistic, empathy-driven approach:

Establish a structured routine with fixed study, sports, and rest blocks in a distraction-free zone free of phones and TV .

Connect each study session to his neuroscience interest (e.g., illustrate neuron diagrams when learning cell biology) to boost intrinsic motivation .

Use the Pomodoro Technique (25 min study/5 min break) and active learning (teaching back concepts) to enhance engagement and retention .

Set clear, achievable goals and celebrate small wins, then progressively increase difficulty to build confidence .

Foster autonomy by involving him in planning his schedule and choosing study topics linked to neuro-surgery (e.g., anatomy modules) .

Incorporate mindfulness (deep-breathing before sessions) and physical activity (badminton practice) to manage stress and sharpen concentration .

Provide positive, empathetic communication—listen to his challenges without scolding and co-create solutions, reinforcing that effort leads to progress .

Engage a tutor or mentor in biology to clarify fundamentals, track progress, and keep him accountable .

Final Practical Roadmap:
Create a weekly plan aligning core subjects (biology, physics, chemistry, math) to his neuro-surgery interest, using Pomodoro sessions in a quiet study zone. Schedule badminton and mindfulness breaks. Hold biweekly progress talks to adjust goals. Pair this with a biology mentor for concept mastery and practice entrance-style questions to build confidence and consistency. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
