The Dilemma of an Aspiring Indian

In schools and colleges, you are taught to follow your dreams rather than money.

But often following your dreams doesn't make you enough money to take care of the bare necessities of life.

Or many times following your dream cost a lot which many can't afford.

And also how does a child cope when their aptitude does not match a particular ambition.

The real world doesn't work that way. Making money comes first rather than following your dreams.

So what I have deduced from this is that children should be educated about the importance of money from their childhood.

There should be separate lessons on teaching the uses of money, saving, and investment of money so they can become financially independent.

Sites like National institute of securities market, National stock exchange, Bombay stock exchange institute provide courses in investing.

Students who cannot afford higher studies should join distance learning courses which are much cheaper than regular courses. 

That way they can complete their higher studies and work at the same time to support their living. 

Open universities like Uttarakhand Open University, IGNOU, etc provide quality, affordable and flexible courses for such students. 

The world is changing very quickly and becoming a digital world. It's a world of digital marketing and skills. It's a world of having a digital presence from social accounts, and websites to having a channel. 

Sites like Skillshop with Google, Simplilearn, Coursera, Youtube, etc. provide free digital marketing, data analysis, and excel analyst courses which can help in adapting to this digital world.

Though it's a complicated world if you take the right steps and have patience you can become financially independent and also follow your dreams.
