It is fact that all the field of study and job fields requires special qualities and abilities in a person to join it and to perform well in that field.

Due to lack of career counseling in Pakistan, students mostly don’t know about the study fields after matric and they are familiar with only just three fields, Engineering, Medical and Arts. After Matric exams everyone wants to be a doctor or engineering because they didn’t know any other field of study. As the result of this most of the students who have not attitude of these fields also got admission in engineering or medical. But due to lack of interest because it is not according to their personality large number of students couldn’t perform well in intermediate and due to this they fail to get admission in medical or engineering colleges. These students get frustrated and leave their study.
