Career Options

Case 1: My parents want me to be a doctor or an engineer. But I can never relate to Science or Mathematics. I am not sure what other options I have?

Case 2: I have a bent for art and creativity. I want to pursue a career that can relate to my interests.

Does your thoughts match the cases cited above? There are many new options available after 12th other than traditional options like Engineering and Medical. You can enter into a variety of field such as:

  • Law
  • Journalism
  • Public relations
  • Nursing
  • Advertising
  • Fashion
  • Management
  • Modeling
  • Travel and tourism
  • Hotel management
  • Call centers
  • CS/CA/ICWA
  • Academics/Research
  • Civil services
  • Defense/Paramilitary forces

I’ll discuss each of these options in detail in my future posts. You can match your interests and expectations. Once you enter the field of your choice, trust me sky is the limit. If you are not careful in making the right choice you may spend your life cribbing or complaining about your professional life. So make and early start and plan your career.
