So, are you a 12th standard failed student? You may be disappointed with your results. Nowadays, even degree holders are finding it tough to land good jobs. 12th standard is almost mandatory for any small office job. But don’t you worry, there are still many ways you can land a job with decent income without having to pass 12th standard. So, put that ‘12th failed’ thing behind and prepare for life ahead.
This list introduces to you many courses/job opportunities, which many 12th standard failed students may try and join. These jobs may not be ‘high-profile’, but they are decent jobs and earn you some good money. However, the author strongly suggests that you re-write the 12th standard exams and pass it at any cost. Because, by doing so, you stand a chance to land better paying jobs! Now read the article:
