Let me share a very important piece of advice.
Interest
or passion has got very little to do with your success in that field.
Even though I was not interested in pursuing a career in computer science, I had better grades than most of my batchmates who were actually interested in coding. I also ensured I applied for the best internship opportunities in computer science, and prepared hard to grab those opportunities.
Even though I was not interested in pursuing a career in computer science, I had better grades than most of my batchmates who were actually interested in coding. I also ensured I applied for the best internship opportunities in computer science, and prepared hard to grab those opportunities.
Ironically,
good grades and internships in computer science helped me move away
from computer science by opening the doors of management consulting for
me.
If you feel
you are not able to get good grades in a subject or good opportunities
in a field because you are not interested in that field, you are simply
giving yourself an excuse for your laziness and lack of determination.
Passion
is an extremely overrated and misused term. You do not necessarily need
to be passionate or interested in a field to do well in that field.
