A college degree that defines your career..



Students go through a similar high school education and graduate as a bunch of aspiring minds with different perspectives. Their career distinguishes their interests and the idea of whom to be will define their course selection. Most of the students apply for courses out of parental pressure and sometimes because they have no idea of what to do next. However, getting a degree is much important these days and none are worried about what it’s going to fetch them or what to do next. People are ignorant about the various opportunities around the world and the rising demand of specialists in certain fields. This ignorance has led to stiff competition in one particular career and absolutely zero takers for another career.
Before being conclusive in your college education take time to explore the various career opportunities and the educational requirement of jobs in demand. Make the right choice that composes your interests and career options in that field. Remember to ask yourself this question before you decide; “Is your degree worth a job?". There are hundreds of unemployed gradates literally because of the more qualified people with identical resumes. So the pressure is on the unemployed to find another alternative or to pursue a higher degree.
The costs of higher education are increasing everyday and most of us can’t afford for an extra degree. Therefore the choice of course must be made carefully considering all these factors. Every individual must strive hard to increase the probability of getting a career opportunity soon after graduation. A degree with a couple of years work experience in any corporate will open doors to several career opportunities as employers are looking for experienced candidates rather than fresher. Of course a college graduate is open to opportunities but potentially weaker ones.
At college, students are trained with skills to meet the job requirements and are stressed to develop interpersonal and communication skills to give them the edge over high-school graduates and diploma holders. Employers trust in college management and oblige to hire fresher every year. The students are lured with attractive pay-packages and employee benefits. However, the final choice of the right career rests with us.
The increasing concern for social status has made it mandatory for people to have a minimum of undergraduate degree. College education is important for every individual to understand how to live a professional and dignified life. Therefore, you can find graduates everywhere but only a few are content with their work. Only a lucky few, who were conscious and determined enough to pursue their dreams, work in their dream company and are proud of their work. Half of the world is working because they have a work and are insecure about it.
BEING PASSIONATE IS NOT ENOUGH , BUT BEING SUCCESSFUL IS IMPORTANT.
