It is said that one should opt for a profession or work in something that he or she would take up even if there were no earnings from it. In today’s inflationary times, this is a little too idealistic. Of course one should choose to do what one likes but there are various factors that should be taken into consideration before deciding the best career for oneself – security, interest, money, growth opportunity or giving back to the society/ environment etc.

Here we give you some insight into lucrative career options from a monetary perspective.

– Social Media Specialists – Social media increasingly influences the world – be it Facebook or Twitter or Linkedin. Companies want social media specialists to know the pulse of the people and build and manage a strong online media presence for the company. Therefore they are on the lookout for media experts who can establish a connect with the people.

– Analytics – Analytics involves collecting data from various sources, analyzing it and then take business decisions based on it. This is very important in insurance and banking. There are reams of data in the virtual world and this data needs to be converted to knowledge. This is important for e-stores, social networking websites etc. to understand trends, derive conclusions and get closer to the customer.

– Information Technology Specialists – Information Technology may not be as hot as it was about 5-10 years back due to various reasons like cost cutting by companies, other countries matching up to skills of Indian IT professionals etc. But it is still quite lucrative. There are various new areas like computer gaming and mobile technology that have a lot of potential and this is a lucrative career option as there is money, travel, working on innovative products and services and dealing with latest technology.

– Chartered Accountancy – CA is definitely not for the faint hearted. But you certainly stand out among other graduates if you become a CA in one go. There are lots of opportunities in corporate finance, strategic finance and investment banking where Chartered Accountants are in demand for their number crunching abilities.

– Medical Professionals – There is always a demand for medical professionals. If you are a specialist then you are even more valuable. Medical Tourism is big in India and people from other countries come to India for medical treatment and cosmetic surgery. Today cosmetic surgeons and dentists are in demand as men and women in urban India are very conscious about their looks and do not mind going under the scalpel to get the perfect look.

There are other professions that are well paying like event management and management cadre in the corporate world.

If you are on the verge of choosing a career for yourself or guiding someone in their career, do take a look at the options mentioned here and let us know your career choice and the reasons for the same.
