I hv done MSC zoology want to purse higher education further but I am not sure what will be beneficial for me to get job later

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for getting in touch with us. Deciding to pursue further education in order to boost your career possibilities is of prime importance. Having already earned an MSC in Zoology and aspiring to pursue higher education, when selecting a course that will prove advantageous for your future job possibilities, keep the following factors in mind:

1. Discover Your Strengths and Hobbies: Within Zoology and its associated fields, think about your areas of interest. Think about the disciplines or elements of zoology you loved the most while pursuing your MSC program. Discovering your strengths can help select a specialty that best matches your abilities.

2. Get To Know The Market Demand and Trends: To learn about the most sought-after areas of zoology or associated fields, conduct extensive research on the labor market. Search for the newest trends viz., environmental science, bioinformatics, or conservation biology, that may offer promising future employment possibilities.

3. Research and Collaboration: Through social media platforms like LinkedIn, get in touch with experts in the zoology field, take part in conferences, and get involved in discussions to better understand the present job market and the highly sought-after abilities.

4. Certifications/Qualifications: Based on your future ambitions, earning certifications in ecological assessment, wildlife conservation, or science communication might prove advantageous. Your employability and abilities in specialized fields can be boosted through these credentials.

5. Think About Further Specialization: You might want to pursue a PhD degree in a certain branch of zoology that fascinates you. You can take up research roles in academics, government institutions, or private businesses as a result.

6. Education and Outreach: Think about earning a degree in science education or science communication, if you have a liking for education. This would enable you to teach or communicate scientific concepts to students or the public.

7. Biotechnology and Bioinformatics: If the intersection of biology and technology is something that interests you, pursuing a master's in biotechnology or bioinformatics could equip you with pertinent skills for industries viz., genetics, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare.

8. Environmental Management: A master's in environmental management or an associated field could be a wise decision if you're interested in environmental impact assessment, sustainability, or conservation.

9. Hiring at Government and Non-Profit Organizations: Experts with a zoology background are hired by a number of government organizations and charitable institutions for wildlife management, conservation, and environmental policy job roles.

10. Undertake Internships and Acquire Experience: Undertake internships, volunteer work, or part-time jobs to acquire practical experience. Gaining hands-on experience can balance your education and make you a suitable fit for potential employers.

Choose a career path that matches your hobbies, strengths, and long-term goals. Conduct extensive research, consult with experts in the field, and seek guidance from career counselors at your present or prospective academic institution. Make an educated choice that will help you succeed in your chosen career path.

Relationship

Hello..I met him on Jan 4 th of 2024.. this year he is not with me. We were in a relationship for almost 8 months. Everything was fine and blissful. Last December he told me he needs some time to decide about our relationship. First of all it was a blow to my confidence..I thought he will stay by my side no matter what it is. After a few days he told me he wants to move on. I was in no contact for 10 days. After I went back and called him..he told me he is talking with another girl and he likes her and going to marry her. My world was broken. The reason for this? Our horoscopes doesn't match also he brings up caste differences even though there is not much difference. We were each other's best friends cared and loved each other so much. Stood by eachother's tough times..I begged him I cried d...I lost all my self respect..I somehow wanted to keep him with me...but he threw me away. It pains a lot. I haven't recovered yet..but he is going to marry her very soon...the toughest part here is I have to see him everyday atleast for the next 6 months. How will I handle if he gets engaged? How will I handle when he gives out his wedding cards? I have big goals in life I want to achieve them. But I am terrified what if it all crumbles because of my inability to handle this pain and suffering? What should I do? Your suggestion is very much needed.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
You did invest too much of yourself in him; but who can stop the way feelings move, right?
As hard as it maybe to accept this reality, move on...initially, it will be painful, but it's not worth losing yourself to anyone. Protect your identity and know that it does not stem from anyone or anything BUT it's YOU who defines it.
Maybe the past year that you lost time and could not focus on your goals, this year can be your year. Let him do what he needs to; why focus on someone who did not have the decency or courage to tell you things on your face. What will you gain by actually being with a person like that? I am sure you deserve much more...
Your goals and aspirations need you; go for it!

All the best!

Relationship

My wife has started following Premanand ji maharaj and has stopped any intimacy between us since last one year. This has resulted v badly on me as my address level has increased, my blood pressure has increased and I have started feeling lonely. Have spoken to her several times, but no change.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
At times, spiritual paths can temporarily derail people from what they are used to; it can just be a new way of living life...But since this is over a year and it has begun to bother you, don't you think you must talk to your wife and tell her how you feel. If you are quiet about it, obviously she's going to go with her changes and not think much about how things are getting affected back home; which she in fact should.
It is easy for people to get swayed by influential people and forget who they are and what they must be doing. I only hope this change is a temporary one and that your wife comes back to where she belongs and adopts the changes into her life positively,

How can I convince anyone for having trust over me ?

Ans: Dear Arun,
You cannot convince anyone of anything. Especially when it comes to TRUST, it's not a mere word. Display this in action where you do what you say/promise and be consistent with it. Trust then builds over time.

Relationship

The seconds of time during taking action..I get into the overthinking/over-analysing thoughts... 1. Imaginative: Where I becom's the character & live life(see images, speak..) in those..like being rich,powerfull,disciplined,wife,kids....things which I want/perceive from social media...+ memos of past also.. 2. Stuck: Where I becom's a "OBJECT" & voices + images of brain guides me to quit task's when doing things/challenging...by saying.. *What this thing(task/book..) gonna benefit you? *Don't do it, you will do worse/fail..people gonna judge/laugh to you...look yourself!!..no good face, no good dress, u don't hv courage/skill to do that thing. 3. Coping: "Quit it" & use Mobile(songs,reels,yt videos..) to stop/distract myself from those dark clouds. i) What/How [solution] to don't get stuck in those next time. ii) How to use that overthinking for my advantage.. with hving control. iii) I tried to fill the possible voids by dress/looks but things were same..so it's internal.. What to do for that?

Ans: Dear Work,
Overthinking and over processing never helped anyone. Focus on your self-talk and change that.
- Journaling
- Sports
- Art work
- Meditation
- Breathwork
These are a few ways in which you can attempt to slow down the mind from racing thoughts. Once that happens, work on your self-talk to make it more useful where you start to direct yourself towards what you want to do.
