There is no dearth of career choices. Gone are the days when we used to think of just few courses that every second or third student of our batch was dying for. Thanks to factors like internet, economic expansion, liberalisation, technical and communication revolution and rising purchasing power of middle class people, more and more new avenues are opening up. Some of these new career choices did not even exist few years back. Students are vying for new courses because of obvious benefits; less competition and a head start over potential competitors. New generation is also willing to follow its passion and not just tread down the beaten track. They say, if you truly love our job, money and success will automatically follow. So, it’s always suggested to go for what your heart and mind desires instead of falling prey to the herd mentality.
