Yes. Making a name in an unconventional career needs more-than-average intelligence and fortitude.

Indrani Banerjee
Calcutta

No. A student should take up an unconventional career only if he or she is passionate about the subject; this has no connection with a person’s level of intelligence.

Kshama Agarwal
Calcutta

Yes, because unconventional careers, such as jewellery designing, are often more lucrative.

Rupa R.
Jamshedpur

Yes, because bright students can then draw a road map that will help others forge a path in that field.

Amrita Roy Choudhury
Madhyamgram

Yes. Why not? One should be passionate about the career one pursues, it really doesn’t make a difference whether it is conventional or unconventional. If one is focused, he or she is sure to succeed.
