Years back when we ask students what they will become when they grew up, the answer would be a Doctor, Engineer, Teacher or Lawyer. These traditional careers were considered respectable and more acceptable by the society. But today though these conventional careers mentioned, are still in vogue, students have much more challenging and lucrative choices ahead of them.

Youngsters today are more open to take up alternate careers or thrilling jobs.. The reason could be that the traditional careers have become so expensive, and competitive as more and more people opt for them, and finding jobs is not as easy as before. Earlier though they may be interested in other fields, they are forced to take up traditional careers because of pressure from the family.

There may be less competition when one takes up a field they are interested in and a greater chance of getting recognized and being able to make a difference. Though Offbeat, these careers may give you great satisfaction, flexibility of work, opportunity to prove oneself and handsome pay package. The most important aspect being able to do what you really love and at the same time make money out of it.
