Confused About Your Child’s Future? | Tayyari Jeet Ki by Bournvita

Still Figuring Out The Best Career Options For Them?

Every year, millions of students in India compete in the mainstream – engineering and medicine – examinations. Most of the children participating in this rat race aren’t aware of the wide variety of courses and career avenues available to them, which also have great potential. Encourage your children to look beyond these conventional career choices.

Let us explore some emerging career options beyond engineering and medicine that you can add to your research list.

Business Analytics

Companies use Business Analytics for data-driven decision making. It mainly utilises one’s analytical capabilities and knowledge of statistics and programming. Glassdoor’s Best Jobs in America reports Data Scientist as the current most lucrative job option. According to the US Bureau of Labour Statistics, this field has about a 25% job growth.

Bioinformatics

Biology meets Information Technology to create the emerging domain of bioinformatics. A bioinformatician collects and interprets data in various fields, such as genetics and pharmaceutics.

Sustainable Management

Sustainability is the talk of the hour. It is vital to have a sustainable approach in industries as a lack of integrated social planning limits the world’s ability to meet human needs in the present and the future. Sustainability management offers diverse career options, high professional growth, and a promising career. A survey carried out by the global sustainable body – Institute of Environmental Management & Assessment – revealed that the sustainable ‘green’ career workforce was ‘highly satisfied with their jobs.

Technocentric Design

• Product Design – A technology product designer is in charge of the entire usable product and experience creation process, starting from defining real people’s problems and thinking about possible solutions and eventually leading to the most user-friendly designs.
• Human-centred Design – Human-centred Design is an approach to problem-solving primarily used in design and management sectors that defines human perspectives in each step of the problem-solving process. Every product can be used in 100 ways (based on its functional aspects), but most people use it in the same way covering only 20% of its functionality. The human-centred design identifies this 20% functionality and designs the product around that.
• UI/UX Design – A UX designer’s core role can be summarised as “ humanising Technology”, i.e. making complex technology accessible to humans. A UX design allows users to interact with products and services and includes websites, mobile applications and even washing machines.
• Game Design – A game designer uses a broad range of creative and technical skills to deliver an exciting product for its users. They bring ideas, create interactive narration, build prototypes and develop game mechanics. The variety of gaming formats and platforms has increased the scope for game designing, making it a lucrative career option.

Liberal Arts

Liberal Arts is a multidisciplinary system that helps students get exposure to diverse fields rather than developing a specific skill. It helps them formulate compelling arguments, communicate well, have a problem-solving aptitude and form an expanded worldview, among other things. Delhi University’s cluster innovation centre offers a 3-yr BA(Hons) Humanities and Social Science program that enables students to adopt an interdisciplinary approach and provide holistic solutions for societal problems, especially in the clusters of education, industry, slums and village development.
