I wonder if it's fair to expect #highschool students whose brains are not fully developed to make long-term #CareerDecisions? Our School #Education often puts this crucial decision-making timeline on fast-forward mode for students, well in grade 9 onwards itself. This could lead to impulsive choices with opinions from influential others (parents, class peers, friends and family) compared to making well-considered decisions. Perhaps it's time to think about scheduling career and college decisions until after the age of 20? This would probably give students more time to explore, learn about themselves better and make an informed career choice at their own pace.

*🎉BIG NEWS* I'm excited to announce that I've started my full-time Master's in Education (Ed.M.) program in Human Development and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education! After over a decade of professional experience, that includes 7+ years of entrepreneurial experience running my own social enterprise, Unherd.in, I decided it was time to pursue a long-held dream - one that took years of courage to even apply and get accepted to Harvard (still hard to believe)! It took a village to get me here, and for that, I am immensely (and will always be) Grateful. Special shoutout to my constant supporters and well-wishers, Raghuram, Josceline, Bhairavi who encouraged me to apply, and to my BRILLIANT and kind recommenders— Ahindrila, Amulya, and Kalpana —who supported me throughout my application process and made this journey possible for me! To my incredible and loving family — my Mom, Ashley, Audrey — I couldn’t have reached here without you all. Thank you for believing in me, for having my back every time and for being my constant source of strength and support! ❤️ As I start this new journey at Harvard University, I'm excited to see where it will lead me next. I'm ready for this next adventure at HGSE, where I am looking to learn new skills that will help me in some way to 'Learn to Change the World'. #HGSE #Harvard #HarvardUniversity #Masters #MastersinEducation #EdM #GSE

It’s not only School Students, even our Mentors have a wonderful experience on Unherd.in! :) Here is one of our mentor, Sahana's experience in guiding School Students about Careers in Architecture:
Architect at Kamat & Rozario Architecture | Berkeley Prize 2022 Winner | OAN Fellow 2021 | IIA Goa Gold Medalist 2023
I am thrilled to share my recent experience of mentoring a fantastic group of students thanks to Unherd.in. along with Sahana Samanta and Abhinav Dibbidi. Over the past few weeks, I've been privileged to introduce these students to the world of architecture, providing insights into what this profession entails, and helping them understand the pathway to becoming a practicing architect. It's been so incredibly rewarding to see these students light up with curiosity and enthusiasm, and I am so proud of how much they were able to explore and learn through our sessions. Mentoring them has not only allowed me to share my passion for architecture but also to help these students make an informed decision about their careers. A huge thank you to Alister D'Monte and Kamat and Rozario Architecture for making this happen. I am looking forward to seeing these talented individuals flourish. 🌟
