Dreams for Sale: How Career Misinformation Targets 12th Pass Students, Graduates & Their Parents
Dreams for Sale: How Career Misinformation Targets 12th Pass Students, Graduates & Their Parents
Choosing a Career is one of the most important decisions in a Young person’s Life. Unfortunately, this sensitive phase—especially after Class 12 and graduation—has become a prime hunting ground for agents and unverified institutes that profit from fear, confusion, and misinformation. What makes this exploitation more dangerous is that both Youngsters and their parents become targets.
Why 12th Pass Students & Graduates Are Easy Targets
This stage of Life is filled with uncertainty:
“Which Career is right?”
“Will I get a Job?”
“What if we choose wrong?”
Agents step in with ready-made answers, quick Promises, and expensive Courses—presented as the only path to success.
How Parents Are Pulled Into the Trap
Parents want security, not shortcuts. Agents know this and often:
Speak directly to parents
Use professional language and offices
Show selective success Stories
Promise stability and high Salaries
Statements like “Your child’s future is safe with this Course” sound convincing—but are often misleading.
The “Mandatory Course” Myth
One of the biggest lies sold is:
“You must do this paid Course to get a Job.”
Example: Aviation & Cabin Crew
Many families are told:
Airlines don’t hire directly
Paid grooming or aviation Courses are compulsory
Reality:
Airlines publish vacancies on their official websites and provide training after selection. Paying lakhs beforehand is not required.
Other Careers Where Exploitation Is Common
Digital Marketing & IT: Fake placement guarantees
MBA & HR Roles: Paid internships with no real value
Overseas Education & Jobs: False visa and Job Promises
In most cases, students pay anywhere from ₹50,000 to ₹3,00,000—often non-refundable.
The Hidden Damage
The loss isn’t just financial:
Students lose confidence
Families feel betrayed
Career timelines get delayed
Talent is wasted
Many students start believing they are not good enough, when in reality they were misguided.
Why Verified Career Guidance Is Essential
True Career guidance:
✔ Educates students and parents
✔ Explains real hiring processes
✔ EnCourages direct applications
✔ Focuses on skills, not fear
A genuine guide empowers—never pressures.
How Families Can Protect Themselves
Before paying any institute or agent:
Verify information from official employer websites
Avoid “guaranteed Job” claims
Take time to decide—no urgency is real urgency
Ask independent, educated, and verified sources
Youngsters don’t lack talent.
Parents don’t lack Care.
What’s missing is accurate, ethical, and transparent Career guidance.
When families are informed, exploitation ends—and real Careers begin.
📌 Awareness today can save years tomorrow.
