Explore sustainable ways of career options in this Information Age

Till about very lately, we have always considered employment as the traditional employment or the traditional entrepreneurship. Having the academic knowledge and being able to earn, may not always mean that the person is an intellect. One has to come out of the binary terms of these thoughts. More avenues have opened and one has to know who you are and what is one’s capability. This horizon is larger than the academic zone. These traditional methods bring lack of creative independent thinking.

The Gen Z, the knowledge zenith age has given great power in hands of a common man. One should have the zeal and dedication to identify one’s capacity which is more than our academic area. This zenith age is the information age, which give series of more career options. This is called the ‘thought leadership’. This helps a person to convert idea to money. This could be a unique idea, an intellectual property of fresh methodologies which get monetized. One who possess these structured ideas, can greatly impact the market in all positive ways. 

The ‘winning idea’ has to be the right combination of passion, skills and market demand. A way to find your passion is when you open your arms to think how and what you can give to the society, by creating a value in the market and trading it for money. Here, money is the by-product of the value that you create in the market. So, lets encourage this Gen Z to think outside this traditional square and encourage to being this change in the education and work systems. This is the way to bring a positive change in our economy as well as the social system.
