By Malavikka

Since engineering and medicine are the commonly chosen fields amongst science aspirants, a student might not be clear about their specific interests in the widely spoken streams.

Especially engineering enrolment happens because the society believes for no reason that it is the best course with 100% job opportunity. Dreamy-eyed, parents and students zero-in on a popular engineering stream such as IT or computer science again because of the belief that to work on computers, a computer science engineering is required.

Once the students get started with engineering, they realise the depth of the subject and their likes and dislikes. Good news for such students is that it is okay to not have had a specific idea earlier. You have umpteen opportunities to excel in but identifying your area of interest is the primary activity.

Once you complete CSc or IT engineering, employment might not follow quickly. But choosing the right certificate course could fetch you the right job at the right time. But this time, don't go by what peers do or parents say. Identify what interests you and if you are interested in computer security, then here is a list of courses you can pursue to chase your dream.
