Hello Sir/Madam Iam 35 years of age and pursuing Company Secretaries course since 2013 reached upto 75% and now I am in the finals.When I was in school I loved arts and studies both, and opted for the career of CS.But, because of some unavoidable issues couldn't clear the finals now Iam married since 2021,and very much confused whether to pursue CS or Arts as my love for both is equal and when I select arts I miss CS and when I select CS I miss arts.In school times I won many prizes in Arts and didn't took classes for any of the arts but won state level prize in writing and painting,and lost merit list in 12th Boards exam just because of 2marks.I was a good student too now I am really very much confused as I have no career at all,I am jobless since 2013, continuously trying for job but dont get any.Kindly guide me Iam in the state of delima.

Ans: With your CS almost coming to an end, it would be wise to finish it and get a job to start with. Once you are in a job, you can pursue your love for arts as a method of up skilling and eventually create a side-income for yourself

NEET, Medical, Pharmacy Careers - Answered on May 25, 2025

Career
1- At present and in the coming 4 years, after completing graduation in pharmacy, how correct will it be to compare graduation with engineering, 2- In which field a pharmacist has immense potential and 3- If one completes Master in Pharmacy from an institute like NIPER, then what are the prospects in future, please explain in detail, thank you
Ans: Hi Prem,

There will always be a demand for health-related courses. Engineering, on the other hand, can undergo drastic changes over time. The health sector remains relatively stable in comparison.

Every human being has two eyes, two legs, and two hands. Any changes or issues related to these aspects are addressed by professionals in the health sector. Therefore, the pharmacy field is unlikely to be negatively affected in the future. While technology may bring some changes, they won't be as significant as those in engineering. So, you can confidently pursue a career in pharmacy for a better future without worrying about job security.

Regarding your second query: Pharmacy offers ten different fields to explore:
1. Pharmaceutical formulation (manufacturing)
2. Quality control and quality assurance (analytical R&D)
3. Herbal research
4. Animal testing
5. Microbiology (QC, R&D for vaccines)
6. Hospital/community/clinical pharmacy
7. Marketing
8. Academics
9. Regulatory affairs
10. Entrepreneurship

Whichever field you choose, it’s essential to acquire knowledge and expertise in that area to succeed. The choice is ultimately yours.

As for your third query about NIPER: As you know, it is a central government institution, and the government is investing around1,000 crores in each campus. If you have the opportunity to gain admission to NIPER, don't miss it. More NIPER campuses are expected to open in the near future, including NIPER Madurai, which has been long awaited. I hope the central government (BJP) will make an announcement regarding this soon.

In addition to conventional courses, there are new branches being introduced at NIPER, which promise a lot of development opportunities.

I think i have answered your query.

If you need any further details, post it in rediffguru.

BEST WISHES.
POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO!
