The life and career strategies that once worked for boomers won’t work for millenials and Gen-Z’s. Now-a-days, everyone is highly qualified, but people still fail to grab placements.

Consider this: A 12 -year-old joins an IIT or a NEET academy under the pressure of his parents, who felt that a good degree will help him earn a living. He tries to focus and develop an interest in studies at the cost of his own mental and physical health. He gets into an average college, works at a job he doesn’t love and feels overburdened all the time. This is the life of a typical student in India. Doesn’t sound fun, right?
