From the time when Engineers and Doctors used to be a rarity, our society has reached a time when you can find a Doctor and Engineer in every second home throughout the country. While these career options are considered as 'safe & secure', a number of students dream to take the road less travelled and opt for streams such as commerce and arts. One of the major problems for such students is the lack of guidance regarding the future career options. If you are going through a similar phase in your life, you are at just the correct place! Here we bring you some of the top career options for the Commerce students.
- Banking
Albeit the Banks have opened their doors to graduates from all fields, it won't be incorrect to say that students coming from a commerce background have a definite edge at the time of interviews. A thorough knowledge about banking operations can help you climb the ladder much faster than your counterparts.
- Investments
One of the most high paying and trendy jobs in today's time is that of an Investment Banker! And guess what? As a commerce graduate, you are right on your way to become an Investment Banker. Any top class Investment Banker earns a six digit monthly salary! (Isn't this enough of an inspiration?)
- Management
Of late, most of the MBA seats are filled by engineering graduates, which is a blessing in disguise for you as it allows you to stand out without being extraordinary. A number of firms prefer to recruit their managers from among the Commerce graduates, rather than going for the much hyped B.Tech + MBA combo! And once you enter the organization's management, you can only move upwards from there!
- Taxation
What is common between a common man, a multinational firm and a small shop? They all have to pay Taxes! Just the mere mention of the word 'tax' is enough to give sleepless nights to a number of people. Such people always search for experts who could guide them with their taxes, and maybe save a penny or two! Your advice would be their last word and you would be paid ever so handsomely!
- Business / Market Analyst
Today, the businesses run in crores and not in lakhs! Before investing such huge amounts, the organizations make it a point to perform a complete market research and prepare its future goals based on the current situation and the scope. As a Business Analyst, you would be required to keep a keen eye on emerging business trends and would need to alter the company's plans accordingly.
