I have seen many parents force their child to pursue engineering, especially in CSE; a rat race is going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe a student should primarily focus on experiential learning, from which he is able to learn much more than a degree itself. All 8 courses\/degrees\/programs can&#8217;t be replaced by AI. Recently, a lot of traditional jobs have been replaced by AI, like HR. IBM took this step to lay off 8000 employees. This also means a lack of job security in traditional jobs. A lot of digital jobs are growing, and freelancing opportunities are also growing in many domains like Game Design &amp; Development, Event Management, Photography, Music Production, Citizen Journalism, Interior Design, fashion design, Animation, VFX, the gaming industry, and many more. Many students get confused even after completing class 12th, and a lot of students do have a creative mind, but nobody is there to guide them. If you know you have a creative mindset, then <a href=\"https:\/\/aaft.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AAFT <\/a>is the right place for you.
