The debate on which careers are ‘suitable’ for women has been a long-drawn one. People have a lot to say when a woman chooses an unconventional career, but it’s high time we stop dictating what women can and cannot do.
Most things that women do have unwritten rules and regulations attached to them, with very little freedom to choose how they want to conduct their life. As a generation that is more aware and active in taking action to improve lives, let's put an end to this debate and career anxiety, and provide women the space and freedom to choose a path that isn’t rooted in social constructs.
As women, we should start thinking more about ourselves and less about ‘what people will say ‘ if we pick a certain career, choose to restart work after a career break, or do something that’s not ‘suitable’ for us. We have reached a stage where making our own decisions and living a life not dictated by society has to be seen as a right and not a choice.
What better way to do all this than by expanding your repertoire of skills. PowerPass is your ticket to growth with workshops that help you learn a multitude of skills to explore and expand your horizons.
So, here we are to help you find unconventional careers that will bring up thoughts of what people will say, but let’s leave what people will say to the people and do what’s best for us!
