How can I excel my career in Travel and Tourism and want to know the options available in this field? I am a graduate and fresh to the industry and want to setup a business. Kindly assist.

Ans: The IATA examination can help you break into the Travel and Tourism industry. That said, if you are looking to set-up something, look at the problem statement that you are solving and define your problem clearly so that your solution (read your set-up) can solve for a real problem thus helping you excel at your business

Hi, I am David, 32, a graphic designer working with an advertising agency in Gurgaon. While I have enjoyed working in the creative field, I am currently feeling a bit disillusioned with the corporate world. I am interested and passionate about travel and photography. I have some savings I want to set up a travel agency of my own so I can retire early, by around 45 or 50. I want to go on a solo journey around the world and tell stories. Can you guide me how to achieve this?
Ans: Hey David, sounds like you've got some exciting dreams brewing there! Stepping away from the corporate hustle to pursue your passion for travel and photography sounds like the plot of a blockbuster movie—except this one's starring you!

First off, kudos to you for recognizing what truly sets your soul on fire. It takes guts to break away from the status quo and chase your dreams. So, let's plot out your roadmap to entrepreneurial bliss:

1. Craft Your Vision:

Picture yourself as the captain of your own travel ship. What kind of experiences do you want to offer? Adventure tours, cultural immersions, photography workshops? Get crystal clear on your vision and what sets your travel agency apart.

2. Do Your Homework:

Dive headfirst into the world of travel entrepreneurship. Research market trends, identify your target audience, and study successful travel startups. Learn the ropes of running a business, from budgeting to marketing strategies.

3. Build Your Brand:

Give your travel agency a personality that reflects your passion for exploration and storytelling. Design a killer logo, create a captivating website, and brew up some irresistible travel packages that make wanderlusters weak at the knees.

4. Network Like a Boss:

Forge connections with fellow adventurers, photographers, and travel influencers. Attend industry events, join online communities, and don't be shy about sharing your journey and expertise. Who knows? Your next collaborator or client might be just a handshake away.

5. Secure Your Finances:

Your savings will be your launchpad, but you'll need to crunch the numbers and create a solid financial plan. Factor in startup costs, operational expenses, and a buffer for those inevitable rainy days. And hey, consider seeking advice from a financial advisor to ensure you're on the right track to that early retirement goal.

6. Take the Leap:

When the time feels right and your plans are polished to perfection, it's time to take that leap of faith. Embrace the uncertainty, trust in your vision, and dive into the exhilarating world of entrepreneurship with all the gusto of a seasoned explorer.

Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will your travel empire be. Stay patient, stay persistent, and most importantly, stay true to yourself and your passion for travel and storytelling. The world is waiting for your adventures—so go on, David, and write your own epic tale!

Hello Sir, At present I am appearing Class 12 boards. I want to do research work in human psychology as my career. In which discipline I should do my Bachelors for the same? Is doing MBBS is the only way to reach out in research field? Thanks
Ans: Hi,
Kindly formulate your query in a detailed manner so that the experts on Rediff can provide you with better solutions. If you don’t provide enough information, it will be difficult for them to assist you, as the gurus need to make informed predictions to answer your question. This platform is more transparent than others because you can see the profiles of the experts available here. Therefore, be open and provide precise details. Please note that the platform does not require personal information, and you can post your questions anonymously if you prefer.

Undergraduate (UG) degrees provide foundational knowledge, including how to conduct research. In postgraduate (PG) studies, you generally build on those basics. After completing your PG studies, you can engage in research, either full-time or by pursuing a PhD.

An MBBS degree is also just a basic qualification and is not the only gateway into the research field. You can conduct research in a variety of fields, including arts.

If you are particularly interested in human psychology, gather basic information on the topic and proceed accordingly. There are various aspects of human psychology, so consider which area you would like to specialize in and plan your path from there.

ALL THE BEST

POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO.

Relationship
I have a crush on my colleague recently. We started as a friend but one day we get drunk on one of colleague house. We talk about life and love. I asked about his ex. He told his past relationship story how they break up. I also shared some of my past situationship. We live in a same colony. So we came back home together getting drunk I told him you can lean ur head on my shoulder. And he suddenly lean his head on my shoulder and he was sleeping and I wake him up when we reached our destination. He takes me to my house and I suddenly hold his wrist. I don't why did I hold him and next morning he yes hi (call my name)how are you I didn't respond properly I'm just like yeah good after that he seems to avoid me a lot he didn't talk to me much I caught him looking at me sometimes but it might be coincidence. I think he doesn't like me
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand it must all be very confusing but I would suggest not jumping to conclusions. You think he doesn’t like you, but he might be thinking the same since you did not respond to him properly the next day. That could have triggered his current behavior. If you have feelings for him or if you even miss him as a friend, I would recommend you to clear the air with him. Just talk it out- you can explain how things got a little heavy the other day and that’s why you didn’t speak to him nicely and apologize if that made him feel bad. If even after that he continues to avoid you, then you will have better clarity.

Hope this helps.
