In today’s market, traditional forms of employment are becoming tougher to come by and looking for that ‘perfect’ job may seem impossible. But all is not lost. There are still some industries that are going strong and some perhaps doing better than ever before. These are the careers that will lead the future of business and discovering them at a time like this is invaluable.

19. WHAT TO DO TO REDUCE IMPACT IN INDIA
• Try to spend less and save more
• You can certainly expect lower prices of
essentials like houses, consumer goods,
computers, buy them if you have spare
money
• Keep plan ready your budget for worst
situation

20. • It is a good opportunity for many to invest in share
market and in housing as the prices are very low.
• Try to invest in yourself to improve your skills, so
that after recession you should be the first to grab the
right opportunity.

The global meltdown has hit industry hard.
Students despite making it through campus
recruitments, are unsure whether they will get
confirmed offers.
With such uncertainties prevailing in the job
market, many of them have decided to pursue
higher education in India and abroad.
Mr. L Dhanasekaran,
Head of Education UK, Mr. L Dhanasekaran, head of Education UK, south
South India,
India, told TOI that the number of visas issued
from south India for students applying for UK in

• The number has shot up by 5,000 since last year. In September this year, the
number of visas issued was 11,126. "Overall, 31,000 Indians are studying in
UK," he said.
• Students preferred courses are MBA, IT, engineering, and applied sciences
such as biotechnology, microbiology, pharmacy, physiotherapy, social
science, law and journalism.
• "Considering the present situation, students prefer to study than take up a
job. It may take more than a year for the market to come to normal. By then,
the students will not only have an international degree but chances of getting
jobs would be brighter," Mr. L Dhanasekaran said.

80. A short story about
FAITH

81. This dog was born on
Christmas Eve in
the year 2002.
He was born with
3 legs – 2 healthy
hind legs and
1 abnormal front
leg which need
to be amputated.
He of course
could not walk
when he was born.

82. His first owner also did not
think that he can survive.
Therefore, he was
thinking of 'putting him
to sleep'.
By this time, his present
owner, Jude Stringfellow,
met him and wanted
to take care of him.
She is determined to
teach and train this dog to
walk by himself.
Therefore she named him
'Faith'.

83. In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfing board to let
him feel the movements.
After further training in the snow, he now can walk like a
human being.

86. To
achieve
anything
in
life
we
need
CONFIDENCE
and
DETERMINATION
like
FAITH.
