Health Sciences
Apart from pursuing medicine there are many other ways to become a part
of the healthcare industry. Studying various courses that are clubbed under
the umbrella term health­science will help you do just that. Pursuing a
career in pathology or administration or in direct patient care will help you
build a good foundation for your career. Medical tests have to be
administered and analysed, medical records have to be maintained and
the basic daily needs of a patient have to be met, so jobs involving such
work are unlikely to see a decrease in number.

5. Communication Studies
With electronic communication taking over, this is one field of study you do
not want to miss. Whether audio, visual, textual or a combination of all
three, there are jobs available worldwide for people who can write well,
design well and most importantly work well with new media. Advertising,
public relations, digital marketing are just some avenues open for writers
and designers. Ad film directors, editors and sound engineers too are in
demand in this field. The best thing about a degree in any one or more of
these fields is that is transcends industry. Whether it is a hospital, a
shipping company, a textile manufacturer or a restaurant, they all need to
make their presence felt.
