SRINAGAR: Have you ever thought of studying anything beyond Medical Science or Engineering? Well certainly, I’m not saying everyone hasn’t thought about it, but definitely, a good percentage wouldn’t have. Here are some of the most in-demand professions and subjects in the world that many people may not have even heard of.

“Education” Button on Modern Computer Keyboard.

The first in the line is Game Designing. If you enjoy games then you can make it a profession. You can transform your passion and hobbies into a successful career, and as the name suggests, it is obviously and directly connected to Information Technology (IT). It is a new college major and is in demand for various jobs including application engineers, game developers, graphic designers, video designers, coding, game graphic designing, along with other IT occupations. Some more careers that are achievable with this major are Multimedia Editors and Animators, Software Developers, Art Directors, and Web Developers.

The second field which has come up is Cybersecurity. As our dependence on technology is increasing, the demand of enterprises for cybersecurity is simultaneously increasing. This subject is also directly connected to Computer Science. The students of Computer Science who advance in Cybersecurity, Coding, Information Technology, and Software Development are more likely to find a six-figure job in future. People who have a major in Computer Science are mostly employed by any business or government organisation. Not only that, but this is also a fantastic career for those who like computers and coding. Some careers that can be achieved through this subject are cybersecurity analysts, cybersecurity consultants, cybersecurity managers/administrators, software developers and system developers.

Pharmacology has also come up as a field rich with opportunities. The subject is evolving, transforming, and advancing with time leading to pharmacists having an important role in the country’s biotech domain. A pharmacist is mainly employed in hospitals, clinics, universities, research organisations, pharmaceutical and biotech industries along with government agencies. This major requires the study of Medicine.  One’s salary in the field depends on the level of degree pursued and experience. A person can even start a business of pharmaceuticals with this major. Some of the careers that one can pursue are Pharmacy, Pharmacology, Pharmaceutical Sales Representative, Pharmaceutical Marketing Manager, and Medical Writer.

The last domain in the current write-up is Advertising and Marketing. The field has come up as an important resource for businesses and governments across the world. If an organisation (private or public) has to advertise or provide awareness on a particular topic, they need a tertiary party to advertise its respective portfolio through an advertising and marketing company. One of the many advantages of this industry is that one doesn’t require to hold a degree in the field to establish a business in it. However, if you have a degree in commerce or advertising and marketing, it will help you a whole bunch in the future.
