New boom sectors for employment
January 23, 2008 – 12:39 pmOver the past few years, as the number of people with higher disposable incomes has risen considerably in India. This has in turn had a ripple effect and led to boom time in sectors like aviation and real estate. More and more people are traveling by air and the sudden spurt in air ticketing websites, the ad wars between the travel portals and price wars between the airlines bear testimony to the baits being used to get more and more people into the loop. Similarly, with real estate prices appreciating heavily in the last 4-5 years, real estate investment has become a very lucrative option.
The above factors have ensured a sharp increase in the requirement of pilots and civil engineers and others associated with these sectors. And again paucity of professionals with relevant skill sets is causing salary levels of these professionals to rise to double-triple of the values before the boom. Compared with the manufacturing sector, the salary levels are said to be as high as four to five times. Definitely worth considering and keeping in mind for youngsters thinking of making a career choice. But like all good things, it comes with a caveat too. Take up a career for the love of it…not only for the pay packets being offered.

I also feel that while choosing a career one should see that whether career is of his interest or not. Will be he able to LOVE his Job not because of the money associated with it because he loves the work he is doing. I feel if career is choosing on the basic of the package associate with it, then this could not be a long one. Also to give his 100% he would require the money factor motivation whose life is maximum 1 year. Anyway it is my own thinking. I can be wrong for majority of peoples but this make me feel that I am not the common man and this motivate me to do something different in life.
