Mystory@Veronica: How I chose my course and career

I chose BA in my graduation because I was interested in Geoscience. Thus, after my graduation I completed my MSc in Geosciences and also became a certified GIS professional.

At one point of time, I realised that I am not happy with mapping and research only. So I started training and within a span of one year I got an opportunity to train Vice Presidents(VPs). I was also a very reserved person; someone you would call an introvert until I broke out of my cocoon.

In life it's very important to identify what you really want to do. But, it takes a while to truly understand which job satisfies our inner talents.Career selection is a very big task as currently everyone in India wants to get into the field of IT.  However, the education given to us in our colleges is nowhere at par with the diversified job requirements in the IT industry.

Though I studied Geoscience, I did not pursue my career in it because I believed I deserved much more than I was getting at that time. So I changed my stream and stepped into what I really wanted to do on life. And I must say that I am very content today because I am doing something that interests me. Moreover, I am also getting the salary I thought I deserved.
