subject: Finding The Non-relevance Of Chosen Course And Chosen Professional Disturbing? [print this page] Education is part of life; it defines who we are and what we want to be in times to come. Unfortunately, education can only bring most people to a certain extent in life. To make matters worse, education is so straight-forward that one seldom has areas to turn to when everything comes to a halt. The question is: Is it the end of the journey for those whose work industries or work areas come to a standstill or can one still be able to look for jobs in other areas deemed suitable for them?
Once upon a moment, one may find that a law graduate eventually becomes a public relation executive or a business graduate becoming an architect. With the economic downturn and recent recession, graduates these days are competing with each other to gain a place in their chosen profession. While demands in a field is so low and the supply is so high, it is time for students or graduates alike to re-think about their options to or to not carry on with what they're doing. For instance, if a marketing student later figures out that his or her industry is pretty much "overcrowded" and flooded with other graduates, he or she would have to emphasize on their strengths and focus on their unique selling proposition.
Another concern that a graduate should take into consideration is to upgrade on their skills and abilities by taking an additional course. This would not only assist in making one's resume look good on paper but it would also make one stands out among the rest. For instance, if one is doing a degree in Mass Communication, one can also pick up an English language course to hone on their linguistic skills. This course can be used as an alternative if one finds that he or she cannot his or her chosen or desired industry.
Despite the fact that one can take the initiatives to continue looking for their chosen profession, they can also look forward to entering other industries for a start just for the sake of gaining the experience. After all, it's never a lost to learn something new in the process.
