Here for your child? Start from a parent's perspective
Two honest perspectives
The conversation is rarely as simple as “interested” or “not interested.”
A parent may be protecting future options. A student may be protecting motivation and ownership. Better decisions begin when both perspectives can be heard without turning the conversation into a contest.
Both can be true
Ability and motivation are different questions. Both matter.
Student
“I can do Science.”
“I’m just not sure I want it.”
Why this conversation matters
Space to explore. Support to choose.
Choosing subjects or a course can feel like a lot to carry. Research gives us a reason to make room for thoughtful guidance, student ownership and a personal conversation.
10.4%
of surveyed Class 9–12 students reported receiving professional career counselling.
Students deserve a place to ask questions before making important choices.

Shiksha career-planning preferences poll · 2025About this data
Source: Shiksha career-planning preferences poll, 2025
Who took part: Student respondents to an online poll reported on 30 June 2025
What it covers: This measures a preferred format, not results from counselling or MyFire. The article text does not specify its sample size.
These findings describe access, student choice and preferred support. They are not MyFire customer results or evidence that its report predicts career fit. Each study has a different sample; the percentages should not be added together.
Read the sources and what the numbers mean ↗A better basis for the decision
The goal is not a predicted future. It is a better next decision.
Instead of asking one score, one mark sheet or one person to carry the whole decision, create a shared picture of the evidence you have—and the evidence you still need.

Report only
For students and parents who would prefer to read, reflect and continue the conversation themselves.

An honest boundary
No single result should decide a student's future.
A report can open useful questions. Marks can show performance. Parents can bring perspective. Students can describe what motivates them. None of these should become a verdict on its own.
MyFire is here to improve the quality of the decision—not take the decision away from the student and family.
Understand the process and its limitsQuestions families ask
Will MyFire choose a stream or career for me?
No. The report and a conversation with a MyFire partner can help you compare what you know, what you are assuming and what still needs to be explored. The decision stays with the student and family.
What do career suggestions mean?
They are directions worth exploring—not predictions. Each direction should lead to better questions, real-world investigation and a check of current course requirements.
Can we begin if the student and parent disagree?
Yes. You do not need to force agreement before you begin. A useful starting point is to name what each person is trying to protect and identify the evidence that could move the conversation forward.
