Hey Dudes & Dudettes
Hey Dudes & Dudettes,
What's up folks! How is the E-Tribe doing out there after celebrating the most colourful and exciting festival of lights? Diwali still rocks, and I am sure, you guys had a lot of fun and hey... GG had a blast too! Ok... it's Monday and I am back, arriving as usual on the right half of Page 6 in the one & only E-plus with all the fresh gyan just for you. Let me start the day's dose of gyan with a little line that says "An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one."
So don't you ever worry about those pitfalls that you will experience in your path to achieving your goal... simply because you've already tasted more than half the success by setting the goal and working towards it... and with that `never say die' attitude let's roll:
Let's say hello to Murali who is doing his 2nd year B.Sc., Zoology in Loyola College. Murali tells me that he is interested in studying wildlife conservation and management and is all set to do M.Sc wildlife studies in Wildlife Institute of India. (It looks like we have one smart dude who is all set to save Nature and hey, he wants to make a good career out of it!)
Murali wants to know all about the course and the job opportunities. (One of the best things that could happen to someone will definitely be when one'sinterest of study turns out to be a well-shaped career for a lifetime.) Well Murali, the course that you're looking at provides theoretical and practical training in the techniques of collecting, analysing and interpreting field data for conservation and management of wild fauna and flora. As it also includes training in biodiversity inventory and monitoring, it prevails as the most appropriate one for senior and middle level resource managers and wildlife biologists in government agencies, universities and non-governmental organisations.
You could also get into stuff like protected area management and wildlife research. So, follow your heart buddy! There are several resources on this subject in past issues of Educationplus on the website, which can be accessed at http://www.hinduonnet.com/edu. All the best dude!
Let's welcome Bejoy Francis to the E-Tribe. My new friend is from `God's own country', now working for Saj Flight Services in Chennai - the city that has it all and most of all the one and only GG, and he wants to know where he could learn Spanish... and he also wants to acquire fluency in English. (The question is where he should go, and GG thinks we have someone here who is all set to get the expertise in communication skills!)
Zeal Speak easy, VETA (formerly Vivekananda Institute) and Classic Academy are some of the top institutes that you can check out. And to find yourself reading, writing and conversing in Spanish, you can check out The Indo Italian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (www.indiaitaly.com) .
Get cracking buddy and I am sure you're gonna come out in flying colours.
Manoj who is doing his B.Sc Maths from Madras University wants to know if he can appear for CAT examinations and wants to know all the details. (Here's someone who is looking to be a CAT by making the smart moves towards success!) Well Manoj, you can check out institutes such as TIME and Career Forum, which are the pioneers in CAT coaching centres.
Say a big `hi' to my friend Siva, who is doing his M.E Energy Engineering at the College of Engineering, Guindy. Siva wants to know more on the career prospects of his course.
Well, as you may already be aware, and for the benefit of all those dudes who are looking at taking up this course, it deals with generation, transmission, conversion and conservation of energy, and this branch also involves study of renewable and non-renewable source of energy, harnessing of energy from non-conventional sources and design & development of various devices to take advantage of these sources of energy (Now that sounds really cool guys... and hey, I am sure Siva is gonna be one good specialist in this line!)
In terms of career prospects, opportunities exist in both the government as well as private sectors in organisations engaged in research & development as well as manufacturing of systems for conservation of energy, energy management and technology transfer. (Way to go, dude!) All the very best!
All right folks... I sign off here, thanking all those in the E-Tribe who had sent me your Diwali wishes and urging you to stay addicted to E-plus; remain hungry for more gyan, keep the E-Tribe rocking and don't you ever forget to keep appearing on my screen.
Mail me at educationplus@thehindu.co.in with GG in the subject line.
Yo, GG
