Myth in Education

We've grown up believing that taking up science in high school is indeed the best option available. But we've never given enough thought to the fact that why the subject rules over others. We believe in this notion because our parents say so. Which we think must be true. However, misconceptions and half truths like these should be busted immediately. Below are five common education myths which have been busted. 

Myth: Science is best

Busted: It's not true; Science is not the only option in class 11th for students. Humanities and Commerce also offer equally good career opportunities. Gone are the days when the subject was considered to be the elite one. There are many options available to students apart from science. Nowadays students are following their passion rather than going after a profession. They are experimenting and choosing offbeat and creative careers instead of traditional ones. A student who is not studying science is earning equally well these days. Students should go after their interests rather than what people say.

Myth: Commerce without Maths is not good

Busted: Most of us don't like Mathematics but take it under compulsion as Commerce without Mathematics makes no sense to us. However, this is not true. A student can pursue Commerce without Mathematics and build a promising career. You can very well pursue CA, CS, ICWA, Law, BBA, and BCA in future even if you don't have Mathematics and still achieve heights in your career. If you are not comfortable with the subject then don't pursue it. It might affect your overall percentage. There are various options available to non-Math students. 

Myth: Coaching is necessary for competitive exams

Busted: Can a coaching centre really increase your chances of getting admission to that top institute? Well, it can help you with your preparation but certainly cannot assure you of a brilliant score. It all depends upon your caliber and determination. A coaching institute can help you prepare in a systemised manner. But, you can do this all by yourself if you are determined about your goals. You can achieve good results through self study and practice. Moreover, many join these institutes just because it is becoming a trend to do so. If you practice enough and study hard it is not all necessary to join any institute. After all at the end of the day it is your hard work that will fetch you results. 

Myth: Management Course increases salary

Busted: Almost everyone today is pursuing an MBA degree hoping to get a raise in their salary. However, this misconception needs to be busted immediately. An MBA degree doesn't ensures a sure shot increase in your salary. It largely depends upon your skills and caliber. It is your knowledge and abilities which can assure you a promotion, not a degree. Moreover the institute from where you've done your MBA also determines your package. If you're interested in MBA then do it from a good institute. 

Myth: No scope in creative careers

Busted: Nowadays no longer professional courses are considered to be the best. Creative and hobby courses hold equally good opportunities for students. There is no need to confine yourself to run-of-the-mill career options. If someone is passionate about dance then pursue it with full determination and turn it into a lucrative career. If you're passionate enough you can achieve big. After all, it is the passion that matters, not the profession.
