This guide will help you understand all the options you have after plus two. We will break it down based on the stream you chose in plus two, your goals and your budget. We will not give you any hopes, just the truth.

First you need to understand what you are really looking for in a career. You should ask yourself some questions. Do you want to earn money or build a career that will be good in the long run? Do you want to stay in Nepal or go abroad? Are you following your passion. Just doing what others are doing? What is your familys financial situation like? Your answers to these questions will help you make a decision.

If you studied science you have options. You can do engineering, which's a popular choice. Engineering is good for students who're strong in physics and maths and enjoy solving problems. You can also do IT and computer science, which is a field if you love technology. If you want to help people you can study medicine. Agriculture and forestry are also options if you are interested in the environment.

If you studied management you have options too. You can do BBA, which's a classic choice. You can also do IT and computer science if you are interested in technology. CA or chartered accountancy, is a field that can give you a high-paying job. Banking and finance is another field you can consider.

If you studied humanities or arts you also have options. You can do BA in science or liberal arts, which can lead to a career in civil service, journalism or law. You can also study law, which's a strong career. Journalism and mass communication is a growing field and education is a career.

Now you have to think about whether you want to stay in Nepal or go abroad. Both options have their pros and cons. If you go abroad you can get a world-class education and exposure. It can be expensive. If you stay in Nepal you can save money. Build a local network but you may have fewer job opportunities.

To make a decision you should use a decision framework. If you love building and problem-solving, engineering or IT may be the choice for you. If you love numbers and finance, CA or BBA with banking may be good. If you love helping people, medicine or social work may be the way to go. If you love writing and communicating journalism or law may be your field. If you want government stability civil service may be the choice. If you want exposure going abroad may be the way to go.

Many Nepali students make mistakes when choosing a career. They choose a career based on what others want them to do not what they want to do. They pick a college because of its name not because of its quality. They go abroad without being prepared. They wait too long to apply. They also ignore skill-building, which's very important in todays job market.

So what should you do now? You should list your three career interests and research entrance exam dates. You should visit colleges. Talk to senior students, not just the admission office. If you are going abroad you should start preparing for IELTS or PTE. Consult a registered education consultancy. You should follow CollegeReviewNepal for updated college rankings and career guides.
