Presumably, most of us know adults who have switched their professions over time or are dabbling in multiple domains or side hustles. This is considered acceptable or in some cases, even cool for adults. However, this very phenomenon becomes a source of grave concern when it comes to youth switching their interests. This live focused on ‘changing one’s domain’ through the journey of one of our cohort members. Dhrupad had been training at professional football for some years now. Recently, he decided to explore other domains as well – starting with digital marketing and chose to continue playing football for the joy of it rather than as a profession.
Excerpts from the discussion –
✨Everything seems easy in the mind, it is only when you get down to ‘doing’ you realise the complexities and various factors that come into play✨
✨Training intensely for football for 4 years built the rigour and consistency in my ‘self’ to channel sustained efforts daily towards any domain I choose✨
✨The decision to move on from professional football was not a random choice. It was well informed and after much deliberation. So I have no regrets✨
✨Message for Parents and youth who are worried about not being clear about their interests – ‘Come join us at CoVersity where there’s enough structure as well as flexibility to design your own professional journey. And there’s no grilling like the one from peers which can help you get clarity✨
