Date: 7-Jan-2002
Question: Sir,
I am a B.Sc with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics as my subjects, Also I have done PGDCS from a reputed university in
India. I'm working as faculty since last 3 yrs. at different organizations. Though I am interested in this field,
I'm finding it difficult to develop my career in this field. Because of salary and instability-states of the
Computer Training Centers (especially franchisees) I have changed 3 Computer Training centers. Though
I'm working with same profession, which I like. But this problem of instability of Computer Training Centers
making me to think my selection of career towards software development or network administration. Please suggest
me.
Answer: Dear Sakya,
Clearly the problem that you have mentioned is a real issue in the world
of franchisee training centres. Your long term career interests will be
better served by broadening your areas of competence/expertise. If you find
the area of software development interesting then clearly that is the way to
go as it will really help find a meaningful and stable career in the
industry and once established there you can always get into training as
well in a much more stable environment.
