CAREERS OTHER THAN ENGINEERING AND MEDICINE

Board exams are around the corner. Many students may still be confused regarding which career they should step in after their school. When it comes to careers, Indians have been known to move towards the more lucrative and “safer” fields such as engineering and medicine. It is a common observation that parents also encourage their children to select science subjects to ensure steady careers. Have a look at the following career options: FASHION DESIGNING: If you love dressing up beautifully, you have good knowledge of latest trend in the fashion industry, you can go for this course.

PHOTOGRAPHY: A picture is worth a thousand words. They can inform, amuse, shock or amaze and if presented in the right manner, they can be beautiful and creative. Are you creative and imaginative? Do you have an eye for aesthetic detail and composition? Do you enjoy presenting things visually and communicating ideas to others through photographs? Is photography more than a hobby to you? If your answer to all these questions is yes, then this passion can offer you a lot as a profession. With the growing importance of media and fashion industry, the idea of being a professional photographer now appeals to many, unlike the past. HOTEL MANAGEMENT: A part of the hospitality industry, hotel management has wide employment opportunities. Hotel chain owners are opening new hotels in every nook and corner of the world.

Gone are the days when there were only three fields engineering, medical or law. With so many options available, one need not conform to the age-old norms. You don’t have to do what everyone else around you is doing. Think out of the box!
