Career counselling; questions and answers
Q1: I passed Intermediate in pre-medical, bachelors in Commerce and masters as an MBA (Finance). I need your guidance to proceed further because my family is insisting me to do MPhil and then PhD in economics. Please suggest me what to do next and one more thing I have only teaching work experience. (Memoona Khalid - Islamabad)
Ans: Having done your MBA the most important thing you need is work experience before planning any further studies such as MPhil or a PhD. Work experience will enable you to look around and interact with people which in turn will help you to focus on a subject area that you would like to choose for your research. Attempting to do any MPhil or PhD will not help at this stage.
Q2: I am a student of MBA (Banking), studying in my last year but I really don't want to join banking sector neither conventional nor Islamic because of my religious issues. Now kindly help me out as I also have very limited resources and I have to do job in my future due to financial conditions. Kindly tell me about any short courses that would be highly beneficial for me to get good pay scale. (Azra Raza - Lahore)
Ans: It is not essential to work in a bank with this qualification you can look towards finding career opportunities at other financial institutions or multinational groups that are ready to use your services in their financial section. If you don’t find an exact career match you should at least begin your career in anything which deals with management and then review it after a while and see if you can move to the financial sector again.
Q3: I am doing Bachelor of Computer Science and Information Technology (BCIT) and it’s my final year and last semester and it will be completed soon. Kindly suggest me what should I do after the completion of my graduation. Either job, masters in the same field (MCIT), MBA or anything that will help me in my better career. (Zafar Khursheed – Karachi)
Ans: I would suggest you first complete your bachelors in a good grade and try to get some hands-on experience before planning any postgraduate studies. Once you have spent few years in a job environment. This will help you in finding the right specialisation that you should go for.
Q4: I have done LLB (Hons) and now I am confused to choose the major in between LLM Corporate Law or LLM Human Rights. I am interested to do LLM Human Rights. Please guide me what to choose further. (Zafar Khalid - Multan)
Ans: An LLM in human rights has greater opportunities with world renowned agencies such as UN, UNESCO, UNICEF and other private NGOs working towards human rights. Corporate law is limited to your own personal growth but is of commercial value if you are looking to make a career in commerce and business.
Q5: My son is studying in second year with commerce subjects in Karachi. His percentage is 80 plus in first year and he also appeared in the entry test but could not succeed. Please let me know what subjects or group should he join to make his career in Banking or Insurance industry, or you may guide us to choose any field related to commerce education. (Irfan Rashid - Sahiwal)
Ans: Considering the current academic achievements of your son the ideal degree subject for him would be Financial Risk Management or Actuarial Sciences which is being offered at number of universities in Pakistan but certainly University of Karachi and University of Punjab. I am sure your son will succeed in this area of Business or Commerce.
