Before I Choose: Navigating AI, Identity & the Future of Careers

By Lalit Sharma

Book Overview

What if every moment around you-scrolling reels, attending a school fest, going on vacation, or just sitting in a car-was silently showing you a career?

That's exactly what this book helps you see.

In a world where AI is changing the way we live, learn, and work, our traditional view of careers is also shifting. "Doctor, Engineer, Pilot" are just a few tiles in a huge, colorful mosaic of possibilities. What about drone choreographers? Ethical hackers? Eco-architects? Or sound designers who work with natural environments?

This book is not here to test your skills or box you into strengths. Instead, it asks a simple question: What if?

What if you could imagine beyond what you see on career charts?

What if every interest-be it football, storytelling, or gaming-had a path you hadn't yet discovered?

Blending real stories, India-specific examples, and future possibilities, this guide is written in a simple, engaging style for teens (and curious parents). It walks with you-not in front of you-through a changing world where being curious, thoughtful, and open-minded matters more than having it all figured out.

Whether you dream of starting a company, designing a smart city, working with wildlife, or inventing something that doesn't even exist yet-this book reminds you that the first step is always the same:

A single thought.

And the courage to follow it.
