REWARDING CAREERS IN THE MODERN WORLD: VERSION 2020

 

Opting a career path is one of the most puzzling decisions and a burden young minds have. What they choose today will determine a major chunk of their lives in the future, and they must choose what is mentally, emotionally and financially fulfilling to them. It would’ve been easier if life were slower-paced, changes weren’t exponential and each human weren’t unique. But it’s not, hence, they cannot opt for what their parents did or what our neighbours did, and they must opt for something that is not or will not be outdated in the coming years. Relevancy is just as important, and to mould our passions into a tangible income source. Here’s a list of such topics that will allow youngsters to shine in their future.

1.      Counsellor: Counselling can be challenging at times but with growing technology and hectic lives, people are learning to understand its value and their demand is on the ever rise. It is also very noble and adds value to people’s lives – listening to their problems and help them overcome these – is always worth the challenges it poses. Actively making a change in people’s lives can be your source of joy as well, and is a great career path for sensitive or empathetic youngsters. One of the best ways to get into it during the present times is to take an online course in counselling. With the new normal and keeping safety in mind, while also not wasting any time into your education, an online course can make scheduling and optimizing your time relatively easier in an at-home environment.

 

2.      Web Developer: Technology has been ever-growing since the last decade, but it has never played as much a significant role as it did with the changes brought about by 2020 and the decade that is going to follow. A new virtual world has emerged, where all communication and interaction among businesses and individuals has moved online. Businesses that did not have an online presence yet, need it more than ever and they need it fast – way before than they can be forgotten. Consequently, there is a rise in the need for experts in the field of the internet technology and this need shall continue until the next big technological revolution far ahead of us, making web-development one of the most potential career paths to choose from for people who have a flair for science and technology.

 

3.      Digital Marketer: As much as companies need someone to handle the technicalities of building an online presence in 2020 and the coming years, they also need someone to combine the art and science to be able to market their products. Succeeding on the internet is probably far more difficult that the traditional way as businesses continue to compete on a global scale for an audience. There are subtle differences in a traditional marketer and a digital marketer, and people who can bridge this gap and bring about an audience is another field with immense scope, almost just as much as a web developer. The key difference lies here in passion, where someone who has a deeper interest in the creative industry opts to be a digital marketer instead of a developer.

 

4.      Graphic Designer:  To move one step ahead on the creative scale, the design industry has been influencing lives since its inception. As it collides with communication and technology, a branch called ‘graphic design’ is born. A very rewarding career that blends with content creation and gives businesses a professional and powerful touch in the way they communicate to the masses. It is a unique art to tell stories through imagery, too influence and to cast an ever-lasting impression on the viewership, thereby making graphic design a very specialized career. To fight the online global competition that has risen on the internet for market, graphic design is path and trust us when we say: Companies know it and they value it more than anything, especially in these trying times.

 

5.      Social Worker: Another sure-shot of a career path for our empathetic readers, being a social worker is another way to add value to people’s lives and lighting up the world. A hands-on career to get into, being a social worker will allow you to help someone in need everyday where their smiles are adequate to fulfil and add meaning to your own life. With a pandemic, social workers are needed more that ever to ensure ease in extending resources to all and providing a bridge between systems meant to help people and those in genuine need of help. Adding a human touch to public assistance, a social worker build meaningful connections everyday and witnesses the impact of their jobs.

 

It does not matter what career path you choose as long as it fulfils you to the core. Gary V. once stated that it matters more on how you make your money rather than how much. Remember to choose a path that adds value to yourself and others, with a little hope and a lot of hard work, all career paths can turn to success. Do research, prepare yourself, connect and you’re good to go!
