It is useful to choose courses that enhance your employability
While choosing a course to study in college there are a number of factors that have to be kept in mind. First, one needs to ask himself/herself what he or she is truly interested in. Taking up a vocation which does not particularly interest you is like trying to enjoy a food-dish you do not like! Remember, the subject that you take up in college will be the area in which you would be working your whole life – so do only what you like!
Second, you have to be realistic in your aspirations – opt for a subject which matches your academic ability as reflected in your Board Exams. However, the most important question that you have to ask yourself while choosing a course is – will this degree help me in getting a job?
