Most of the students,enteri ng the professional educational institutes,ofte n know nothing about their capabilities when they decide to embark upon their career in different professional fields.
They are often mislead by the sentence “What is the scope of this education in professional life?” .For example,there was an I.T boon in developing countries such as Pakistan in the beginning of the year 2000 .Each and every student was desperate to get admission in Computer Science or Engineering program.The outcome from which many students had to suffer was unemployment due to the toughest competition they had to face like never before.They then pursue their career in Business Administration programs such as MBA’s and started working in banks and other companies in their accounts,human resource,market ing departments
An interesting point was that; there were lesser opportunities for MBA’s in 2000 and more opportunities for I.T professionals.A fter graduating,the whole scenario reversed.But why that happened?
If we look closely,we will see what actually went wrong ? Neither I.T nor MBA ever had decline in job opportunities.I t was the number of students who surpassed the employments.
If there are more professionals available than required;the criteria of hiring will be number of times tougher.
Also there was the problem of fresh pass outs about their skill levels.Most of them just studied to pass the exams or to get good marks in final year projects.In those years of academics,they had to properly mature their approach and had to do some advanced courses or had to develop more skills to put an impact on the employer.

Those guys who took positive decision in selecting the above mentioned fields got hired because the jobs were available but the others were day dreaming about heavy salaries in future.
