And as humans have advanced during the times, the pressure is all the greater, but thankfully with far more opportunities. With my current set of subjects, I would say that I have a very broad range of job prospects, starting from the liberal arts to something like being an engineer.  Although being satisfied with my work is obviously a factor, I mainly consider the amount I would be getting paid.
 
  To opt for a job in the liberal arts would mean that I would mostly end up being something compared to a writer or an editor, and most of these people don't really get a high salary unless they are "recognized". Engineering, that too in India is very competitive, and I fear that from the extreme amount of potential pressure, I may end up causing self-harm. More than 60% of aspiring Indian engineers^[Reuters] have either dropped of the institution in which they were studying or have committed suicide. Furthermore, being an IGCSE student, making that transition into a state board such as into CBSE is although not impossible, but very much difficult. However, with technology has been rising at a rapid rate, a future career option could be being a software engineer, which is currently in high demand

The average annual income for a mediocre software engineer is around 104,300 dollars. This could further be brought up to 128,000 dollars if I end up working at a company like google. Keeping a set example of a software engineer at Google, there isn't actually any overtime pay or even any bonuses. However these negatives are countered by the fact that a software engineer can follow much more flexible working hours. In terms of being happy with what I'm doing, I would sat that this job is the perfect fit for me, since I have a strong passion for mathematics as well as technology. After looking at Google's Silicon Valley campus, the working conditions are incredible, with fresh food provided to workers whenever they are hungry, hence the conditions wouldn't be a problem.I would be given most of the national holidays off on my job, but due to the "flexi-time" option, my number of holidays aren't too high. Although living abroad would be a dream of mine, if I chose to work close to my home, the nearest Google company is situated right in Bangalore, merely 1-2 hours away from Mumbai. In addition, I would be able to receive a number of fringe benefits such as housing packages, holiday packages, etc. However my job isn't actually guaranteed as the demand for software engineers is elastic, so I will need to work hard continuously. Furthermore I wouldn't receive any form of pension, so upon retiring I would have to rely on any previous investments made.
 
In conclusion, I would say that I am on the path to being somewhere between the field of but one never knows what the future may hold, or even what externalities may come into action.
