Whenever anyone questions me what career are you gonna opt for, I always reply "haven't thought of it yet"
Since this special educational thread has been created for those in need,I need your help guy,s to help me select a career.
It would be of great help if you guys highlight pro's and con's of every type of field like Software Engineering,Marketing etc and mention which career is in demand or link to some site which maybe of help.

Well... first do let us know ur qualification and ur interest so tht we can suggest.
But personally I do believe tht, do pursue your career in the field in which you are passionate abt.
However, we can advice better once we get to know more abt ur area of interest & ur professional background. Do let us know....

well...

ur already in 12th... commerce... so now a stream change is out of question mate... its common sense isnt it??? !!!...

Or if its just 11th start .u can change the stream to PCM with CS

Now to get into prgramming after commerce the way would be a MCA....
i dunno much abt commerce guys... but i think a UG degree with computers as option will set u on right track... ex. B.Com with computer applications..then MCA...

MCA grads have opportunities... not near good as engg though....

If u wanted computer science why did u opted for commerce in the first place??
