Choosing Based on Friends

Parental Pressure
While parental guidance is valuable, don't let pressure force you into a stream you're not passionate about. Have an open conversation about your interests.
Choosing Without Research
Don't choose a stream without understanding the subjects and career options it offers. Research thoroughly before making a decision.
Ignoring Your Interests
Your interests and passions are important indicators of what you'll enjoy studying and doing as a career. Don't ignore them.
