Editorial - Career Scope!

 

 

 

During April the examinations get over and long awaited holidays begin. Vacation is rest time and fun time too! But there are young aspirants who while enjoying the break, plan for their career also. What is the right process for a career pursuit? Here we are with a simple practical approach.

 

Those aiming for any of the 6 “elite” careers - medicine, law, engineering, CA, MBA or IT have their path laid down. They have to follow the process of preparing for entrance test, interview etc, but all this is necessary when one is capable of sufficiently scoring a high percentage which alone can help you to opt for these careers. For others who are looking beyond these 6 “elite” careers, sky is the limit. There are opportunities for earning and learning alongwith pursuit of graduation. There are also parallel training programmes leading to international qualifications.

 

One would be curious to know about these new avenues. Well let's keep aside the call centre jobs as they totally make you out of synch affecting health of your mind and body. For people in dire need of money a call centre job for some duration is a sure solution. For others there are regular growth oriented career opportunities. These are “open” careers. Those who pursue such careers reach a decent level of growth in a couple of years.

 

Well these careers are in professional fields like Tourism, Hospitality, Airline, Cargo, Travel, Media, PR, Events, Journalism, Advertising and marketing as well as creative careers such a Web Designing, Fashion, Beauty, etc. The list is unending.
 
So let young aspirants keep their head high to look towards a great future and even those trying for “elite” careers can make it big in these fields in case they miss getting admission. Thus there is a great “career scope” for anybody and everybody with clear and open mind and commitment to grow.
