Editorial...How to make a good career choiceUpon leaving school, a student is faced with the important decision of which career to choose. Parents’ aspirations, peer group pressures,growing unemployment and those of the media all weigh heavily in such a situation, and the wise man is he who actively decides his future, rather than having it chosen for him. It is important to analyze one’s own strengths before taking the first step. And it is worthwhile to explore a wide range of possibilities, and to develop opportunities that allow the growth and realization of one’s potential. Waiting for opportunity to knock is the surest way of ending up in a field of work in which one has neither experience nor interest. Those people likely to be successful later in life are those who have made themselves aware of their own interests, needs, values and skills, especially in relation to their work. In order to make an informed decision regarding future careers, one must gather certain types of information from various sources. The first source is yourself: you should be very aware of what it is that makes you happy, what fires your interest and intellect and in which fields it is that you can stand apart from the crowd. Then try to find a career to match these traits. Meet people working in different professions; investigate their lifestyles, personalities and surroundings. What makes them tick? Would you feel at home with these people? Having decided which profession you wish to enter, the next step is to find an establishment where you can receive the necessary training, and will have the chance to further acquaint yourself with the field. Unfortunately, not all institutions will just open their doors to you. There must first arise in your mind the considerations of money. Will funding College life be a problem? This hurdle should be firmly cleared before any further steps are taken, as it will stop you dead in your tracks should it come back to haunt you due to poor financial planning. The next barrier is the entrance tests which should, of course, be well prepared for. This requires hard work, dedication and sacrifice. Previous good exam results will help, as will knowledge of the field to which you are applying. You will be likely to get admission in reputed college and institutes. If you fail to make it into one of the top-notch college or universities, then a recognized college at state level or some institutes may be the answer. The goal of this period of a study is to match your skills with those in the competing job market. Do not apply to a prestigious College just for the sake of its name, especially if you know that the relevant department is not particularly good. These two elements are the most important in achieving the highest ranks of any profession. Information is the key resource in the quest for a good career choice. Today there are various sources one can trace information. The internet is a very useful & easy way to locate information. Also the school library, news papers, career news articles,talking to counselors and visiting the jobs to get first hand informations are good way to know about the proffession. Go top Going VocationalIn India, only about six percent of school graduates go on to college. Because of this rarity, a college education, no matter in what field, will allow you to stand out from the crowd and will ensure future employability. And most employers tend to insist on a degree qualification. The current 10+2 pattern of education was introduced to encourage those students who wish to go into vocational streams, while those wishing to pursue academic studies could do so at one of India’s 9,500 colleges. College, which may involve further post-graduate study, is the academic route to a career. Vocational streams, provided by polytechnics, develop specific skills as required by the industry concerned. These skills are tailored through close contact with the relevant fields, identifying employers’ demands and ensuring up-to-date, practical knowledge. Because of the diversity of fields touched upon by polytechnic studies, these institutions can provide the alternative college education. Recently, it is private diploma- and certificate-providing institutions which develop job skills, pioneered largely by computer institutes. Moreover, vocational studies have been introduced at the ‘plus two’ stage in five1 major areas: business and commerce, engineering and technology, agriculture, health and paramedical services and home sciences. But, so far, only four percent of students have been lured into the vocational stream. In addition to this, about 160 Indian colleges have introduced 35 vocational subjects for study at the degree level. The subjects include archaeology and museology, advertising and sales promotion, mass communication and video production, travel and tourism management and others, all of which provide the specialization necessary to enter these fields. There are a few guidelines which should be followed in order to chose the right institution:
The aforementioned courses are not yet offered everywhere, but there is a growing interest within related sectors concerning the wide range of vocational streams being offered to 10+2 graduates.
Treating the DisordersPhysiotherapists are a group of medical staff who deal largely with limb injuries and restricted body movement. Demand is on the increase, and the career may appeal to those students interested in clinical or technical work, or those with limited opportunities for investment of time or finances. These physical therapists are health care professionals who restore mobility, alleviate pain and suffering, and who work to prevent permanent disability in their patients. They treat problems related to the neurological, pulmonary, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems which could be due to injury, illness or congenital disorders. The job is preventative, restorative and rehabilitative. Therapeutic agents include heat, radiation, electricity and water massage. Medical practitioners refer to physiotherapists concerning all types of patients. Sufferings may include polio, cerebral palsy, muscle, joint and bone injuries or chest and heart diseases. They work with burn patients to prevent abnormal scarring, with stroke victims to restore movement and develop operational independence, with cardiac patients to improve endurance and with also cancer victims.

MILE - HIGH CLUBCareers as a Flight CateringThe field of flight catering offers ample scope for young graduates. Here they will learn how to match both luxury and efficiency for the benefit of airlines, for whom food is a top priority. Zafar Siamwala is the Corporate Director of Oberoi Flight Services, one of the three main flight kitchens operating in India (alongside Taj Air Caterers and Ambassador Sky Chef), and she says that, “the process begins 24 hours in advance, when raw materials, such as vegetables and poultry, are pulled out of sterilized refrigerated rooms to be chopped and cut according to menus.” The main emphasis is on safety. In order that the food remains completely fresh and bacteria free, it is transferred to dishes on refrigerated tables so as to maintain a desirable five degrees. Food samples are tested daily in laboratories for microbiological content and the bacterial count for e-coli and salmonella. The airline food industry assumes great significance as a result of the increasing number of passengers, for whom market strategies must be consistently reviewed so as to maintain this Rs 250 crore industry. “There is a French expression which says, ‘Evil is hidden behind the details, and overlooking this can lead to disastrous effects,’ remarks Marie-Joseph Malo, Managing Director of Air France Asia Pacific. “It is also the backbone of our approach to passenger care. Creating the right ambience with food is an integral part of that exercise.” Cultural preferences play a large role in determining menus. For instance, Singapore Airlines serves Japanese nouvelle cuisine with Teriyaki and Tempura, as well a choice of Korean and Thai on its eastern routes. And during festival season, Air India offers traditional Pongal and Onam treats. Jitendra Bhargava, General Manager of Air India says, ‘We take special care of passengers when it comes to food. Our choice includes 23 special menus, with both Indian and continental vegetarian and non-vegetarian cuisine. The meals are uplifted from 26 stations across the world. Our flight kitchens are checked regularly by airline specialists. There’s no room for being lax.’ But, even as airlines dangle tantalizing menus to lure passengers, the latter remain unconvinced. Raghvendra Menon, a widely travelled senior financial consultant with Reliance Industries, and a frequent flier says that he hates the food so much, ‘that I just sleep on the aircraft. One reason I dislike the food is because it is so unreliable. I am not confident about its safety. Perhaps flight kitchens should do something to boost their image so as to convince me.’ But this is not the only crisis facing Indian flight caterers. Because of the government restrictions which favour Air India, the whole industry suffers from a lack of competition within the country. European flight kitchens prepare several times as many meals per day as those in India due to the wide range of airlines they serve. However, Siamwala points out that the service provided within India often surpasses that abroad. ‘When I visited a flight kitchen in New York, I was struck by the unhygienic conditions there: the staff were wearing t-shirts and sneakers. Here, our workers are covered from head to toe and an enormous emphasis is placed on cleanliness,’ he says. ‘This is because workers are hired on a contractual basis, where hire and fire policy prevails. Styrofoam cuisine or gastronome’s paradise? While the debate may continue, there is no arguing that the sky is the limit for job prospects in the airline catering industry.

A Career in EconomicsThanks to people like the Noble Laureate Amartya Sen, the field of economics has increasingly attracted students’ interest. It is a highly academic field and is suited to someone interested in research, for whom it could make an excellent profession. Here we describe career and study opportunities at home and abroad, the scholarships available and the necessary training and possible job prospects. Thanks to liberalization and e-commerce, economics is presenting increasingly glamorous and promising opportunities. Prestige though is elusive, and it seeds are to be found in places such as the Delhi School of Economics or an international institution such as the London School of Economics. Alternatively, one could specialize in branches such as Business or Agriculture Economics. A simple BA or MA degree in Economics from most Indian universities will not lead to an economist’s career; one would have to settle for a lecturer’s job, where the field is already saturated. First of all, one must graduate with Economics as an Honours subject. Get into the habit of reading reputed research papers in your spare time, and subscriber to magazines like the London Economist. One must definitely go beyond the prescribed course, which often is quite simplistic. It would be worthwhile to discover where you feel most at home within one of the subject’s branches such as: a) Business and Trade: Business economics increasingly stands alone as its own career path. The course of Master of Business Economics (MBE) at Delhi University is quite reputed. The job involves the creation of companies’ business strategies and the undertaking of investment/risk analysis. International trade is also studied by a Business Economist. b) Banking and Finance: Economic information is extremely valuable to companies, and they expand large resources in its acquisition. Country reports are required by large multinationals, while domestic firms need constant updating on markets. Merchant bankers and other companies dealing with large sums of money require economists. c) Government: Governments need economists for forecasting, research and policy decisions. The candidate must appear in the examination of the Indian Economic Service or the Indian Administrative Service in order to be absorbed in to the ministries of agriculture or employment for example. An added advantage is the ‘revolving door’ system that allows government employees to be transferred to the IMF or World Bank. This is the road to fame. d) Other fields: An agricultural economist would be involved in agricultural production, marketing, land reforms and social welfare. Labour economists spot labour trends, policies, social insurance and the like. Financial economists are experts in the monetary policies of various countries. Once a student has chosen their field of interest, they must read extensively within and around it, beyond simple research. It should be borne in mind that economics is definitely not for those people adverse to academic study and paperwork. One of the leading economic institutes in the world, London School of Economics, which has various full time courses as well as short duration summer courses.Succesfull candidates graduating will be employed in various national and international institution for research and development work. For more information, please see to the web-sites: www.britishcouncil.org and www.toefl.org
Scopes and Jobs: Rapid globalisation is also making the gathering of reliable and up to the minute economic information extremely important. The World Bank publishes World Development Indicators, while the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) brings out the Human Development Report. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is a member of the World Bank Group, set up to promote private sector investment in developing countries. In addition, third world countries’ Planning Councils require trained economists to face their problems of poverty and deprivation. Independent companies with similar needs abound. The following companies employ economists with international exposure. Student desirous of getting more information may contact them:
EDUCATION IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRYCareers in Hotel ManagementHospitality involves the warm reception and entertainment of guests, socially or commercially. A hotel is generally considered a home away from home, where people need a clean and comfortable place to rest or sleep, food service, an area for socialising and access to shops in a secure environment. Those aspiring to this field must appreciate that the job requirements go beyond just professional training. Interaction with lots of people, both staff and guests, is the essence of the job, and so personal attributes come to the fore: are you at ease among people with an outgoing personality? You will need good communication skills, tact, diplomacy and perseverance, as well as a respect for labour and a capacity for work. A host of institutes offering Hotel Management courses have recently sprung up in the country, to supply the industry with much-needed, trained manpower. Among the well-recognized centres of training for the Hospitality Industry are National Institute of Hotel Management & Catering Technology, which has spread centres all over India, Indian Institute of Hotel Management, Ahmedabad, Welcome Group Graduate School of Hotel Administration, Manipal, Srinivas College of Hotel Management, which is recognized by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). They offer programmes like:
Admissions to the National Institute are through entrance exams and interview, whereas a few private institutes conduct only an interview for admission. Training in Hotel Management is a blend of theory and practice. Learning through experience is the essence of the curriculum. Actual exposure to the daily functioning of the hotel helps trainees apply their theoretical knowledge to a real situation. Functioning of the HotelThere are four important departments in a hotel:
Career OpportunitiesThe Hospitality Industry can provide lifelong careers. And its areas of expertise vary from marketing to cooking, engineering to public relations and from security work to accounting. A Graduate with a BHM degree can take up academic courses (as a faculty member or proceed for higher studies), enter the operational field (own enterprises like hotels and restaurants; join catering establishments – Airline Catering, Cruise Lines, Outdoor Catering, Hospital Catering etc) or join other services (defence forces, banking services, railways etc.).
Incentives
Chances at home and abroad The Hotel Industry is thus one of today’s most dynamic fields. It demands innovative approaches, self-discipline and an ability to deal with every sort of person. Most important is the natural sense of joy at providing high quality service. Career in Medical TranscriptionIntroduction

Ask the CounselorIn this section, readers and students are encouraged to ask any questions relating to their educational and career planning. Please feel free to write to us, if you have any questions and we shall be happy to give you the answer in the column with a copy endorsed to your address. Q.1. I am a commerce (Eco) student at CST Mussuorie and I feel that I am really a literary sort of person. I have never been much inclined towards sports, and am very much interested in computers. I headed the editorial board, where we enjoyed moderate success amid a string of I am always at ease when airing my views, being highly critical and equally curious. And now I wonder where I can channel this analytical energy, making the most of my potential. - Tenzin Monlan, CST Mussuorie Ans: I am glad to hear of your enthusiasm for editing publications, and about your Critical mind. It is excellent that you are so open minded, and it should therefore not be difficult for you to become aware of your potential. It seems that you would be happy in the fields of journalism or mass communication. There, you can openly express your views and possibly effect massive changes. The inroads concerned would be an undergraduate degree in English Literature or Mass Communication at post-graduate level. And I commend you on your decision to take the computer course; this,and other activities like it, will help to provide a fertile ground for career growth.
Q.2. We see rising political instability and a growing population with unemployment in Tibetan Community to match. And I have no idea where I will stand within this situation in the coming years. And thus I am equally at a loss concerning which decision to make following graduation, and the most effective way to contribute something to our community. Ans: Thank you for your mail, from which it seems that you are confused as to what would be the best choice to make. What you say about rising unemployment is true, but if you have the talent to excel in whatever field you are in, then employment will never present too much of a difficulty for you. I think that post-graduate studies are a good idea, and there are more fish in the sea than just Calcutta University, for any subject. A recommendation from them should help you find acceptance somewhere on this vast sub-continent. We are always available to help you in this decision making process. As for Sara Tibetan College, acceptance is based purely on Tibetan linguistic skills. As you wish to serve the Tibetan community in the future, then I think that enrolling there would be a very good idea. They offer different courses: such as:
Principal College for Higher Tibetan Studies P.O.Sarah Dharamsala Himachal Pradesh Go Top Q.3. I was a student of CST Mie, where I did my studies till 12th. I am supposed to join Physical Training college. I would very much appreciate it if you give me the details of the Kerala PT college. - Tsering, CST Mussuorie Ans: I believe that Lakshmi Bhai National College of Physical Education is one college offering PT Training courses in Kerala, and it is affiliated to the University of Kerala and recognised by Sports Authority of India (SAI), which seems to have a good reputation. So if this is the course you are really keen on, then this institution is highly respected. They also have a similar institute in Gwalior.
There will be an entrance test and one must be in the age between 17 to 21 years old at the time of admission. Weightage will be given for those who are good in sports at school level. One has to demonstrate in the field. The address for the institute is as follows: You can also visit their website at www.incpe.org or phone them on 0471-418 769 for further details. I hope that the above mentioned details fit the bill. For further information, please mail us again. Q.4. I study at CST Mussuorie and hope to get sufficient marks for a scholarship. My request concerns the Gaden Phodrang Scholarships.
