        abstract = {Career planning is one of the most defining aspects of a student’s life. The nature of work has evolved rapidly due to technological progress, globalization, and changing socio-economic patterns. Today’s youth are faced with a broad spectrum of career opportunities, ranging from entrepreneurship and freelancing to creative, digital, and sustainability-oriented professions.
However, many students continue to perceive “careers” as synonymous with “jobs,” often limited to government or private employment.
This research paper, titled “From Jobs to Future Careers: Exploring Students’ Awareness and Aspirations,” aims to understand the awareness level of students regarding emerging career opportunities, their personal aspirations, and the kind of support they seek while making career choice},
