Diamond in tattered garbs

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Diamond in tattered garbs here means a person from poor economical background. The question tickling my mind is can this person shine to compete with those who have born with a silver spoon in their mouth? 

There are lots of people like Bill Gates who is the richest person in the world. He is only 10th pass, but still he owns such a big company. Another is Steve Jobs, he is the most respectful person in the world .he is also a drop out.

IIMs are not so imp. as people think but it is the inbuilt quality ,the talent which is needed to be successful. Not all people go to IIMs and still they r successful like Narayanmurthy, Dhirubhai Ambani and many more……..IIMs teach us the skills and nothing more ,they make you aware of the reality of the corporate world but how u handle it in future is entirely depend on you. Recently talent hunting shows like Indian Idol and Voice of India have thrown lights on rural talent. Winners of these shows have defeated candidates from metro cities. Let’s have example of Karna from Mahabharat, he was son of Lord Sun but he got to be treated in a different way. Due to his caste he was made ineligible for studies; but it was his potential that came up with him. He has proven that a man is known by his deeds and not by his caste or family background.Let’s have example of Karna from Mahabharat, he was son of Lord Sun but he got to be treated in a different way.

Select the Right Degree

Sunday, November 25th, 2007
Select the Right DegreeYour degree choice will affect your future career opportunities and ultimate success. This compact guide will help you choose the degree that works for you.When making this decision, consider your current career path, future job markets, timeline and flexibility. Here are a few questions you need to answer before you select a degree:
  • Do you want to continue on your current career path?
  • Does your current career match the future job market?
  • Do you want the quickest path to a degree?
  • Do you want a specific degree or a degree that leaves your options open?
  • What degree level do you want — associate’s, bachelor’s or master’s ?

Most degrees fall under one of the following areas of study

  • Computer science
  • Engineering
  • Electronics
  • Healthcare or medical
  • Criminal justice
  • Business administration
  • Liberal arts, such as math, science and English
  • Education
  • Psychology/social and human services

These degree areas can be narrowed to very specific areas of concentration. Having predetermined career goals can help make choosing your degree a simple process.

Tip: Career counselors can help you make the career choice that matches your skills and interests by giving you a career skills and interest assessment. This will help you focus on the career options that match your experience, skills and personal interests.

  • Your Current Career

If you plan to stick to your current career path, you simply need to determine which degree is most in line with your career. Since your past experience might count toward college credit, this option can also help you get your degree faster.

  • Future Career Opportunities

Although factoring future job growth into your degree choice may mean taking more classes, which in turn will increase your time and expense, it is well-worth the effort. In fact, combining your personal interests with the forecasted job market is a sure way to make the most of your schooling.

  • Fast and Flexible

If the focus of your degree is less important than the timing, consider a degree that allows you to earn credit through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Associate of science and bachelor of science degrees are often the most liberal when it comes to using CLEPs.

Some degrees are more flexible than others. For instance, business administration degrees are often the fastest and most flexible. In addition, a degree in business administration can be as narrow or as broadly focused as you like, and nearly every college offers business degree programs.

  • Degree Level

It’s important to select your degree level, but it’s not critical. You don’t need an associate’s degree before going for your bachelor’s. In fact, in most cases, it saves you time and effort to focus on your bachelor’s degree first.

Once you have made your degree choice, you will need to find a school that offers that degree and has programs that fit your needs.

Manage Your Time

Time management

If you’ve decided to go back to school for a degree, you may need a little help getting organized. Try these survival tips for juggling work, school and your personal life.

  • Choose Your Program Carefully

Many schools tailor programs to working professionals by offering evening and weekend classes. Some schools provide distance learning opportunities, which allow students to take courses via the Internet or by teleconferencing.

  • Keep Your Eyes on the Prize

Set a goal for completing the program, even if it’s a long-term goal. Always keep in mind that what you’re doing will open doors for you in the long run.

  • Think Ahead

Many employers encourage employees to attain degrees and will accommodate students’ schedules. If that’s the case, alert your employer to your class schedule as far in advance as possible.

  • Stay Organized

Make daily and weekly to-do lists, but don’t panic if unexpected problems arise and set you back. Keep work and school separate, even if your employer supports your efforts.

  • Don’t Neglect Yourself or Your Responsibilities

Keep your energy level high by eating well and exercising. Although sleep may seem like a sinful indulgence the week before a test, you can hurt yourself or your patients if you don’t get your rest.

  • Banish Guilt

Enjoy time with your loved ones rather than feeling guilty about the schoolwork you could be doing. Plan time for yourself that’s not related to school.

  • Take a Break If You Need One

Take a semester off if you’re overwhelmed, or reduce your courseload.

  • Study Anywhere, Anytime

Review your notes or course readings while waiting in lines. Tape-record lectures and listen to them when you’re driving.

  • Take Advantage of the Internet

Communicate with professors via email. Research projects online.

Is Online for Real?

online educationMany prospective students have concerns about getting an online degree. They wonder if it will hurt their career aspirations or ability to build on their education goals. In other words, they want to know if an online degree is for real.

Fear not, online programs are real, and they are offered by many big-name, fully accredited and well-known schools like DeVry University, University of Phoenix, Kaplan University, Penn State and Grantham — to name a few.

The key to remember is that the schools must be fully accredited. If they are, then the degree will be as valuable as any traditional college or university degree. The truth is that the diploma you earn from an online school will be just like any other, and will not say online.

The more important questions you need to ask are:

  • Does the course delivery (CD-ROM, e-mail, Internet, etc.) fit your needs and abilities?
  • Does the school have the degree program that fits your education goals?
  • Does the school offer scholarships or discounts you may take advantage of?

If you think online may be the best fit for you, begin looking for the school that meets your needs. Schools usually have free information packets they will mail you with answers to the questions above, more on tuition costs and an application.
