kindly give me some information regarding careers in networking.... how does one benefit from exams like MCSE and CCNA when one's major work area in software development...also i would like to know about careers in the field of cyber law specially on ethical hacking....

ear Supriya, MCSE is a certification required by software professionals and CCNA is required by professionals in the field of Hardware & Networking. Certifications prove that you have the minimum skill and knowledge about a particular aspect or field and that you are equipped to perform tasks related to the same. These certifications are helpful since they also keeps on updated and many organizations also look for certified professionals working with them. Ethical hacking and cyber laws are relatively nascent fields. The popularity of theses courses are on a rise. The success would mostly depend on the concepts learnt, the skills & the knowledge acquired, the attitude to work. There are immense opportunities for those with the right attitude and skills.

hello, i am in class 12. i want to pursue ma career in computer science but some people who i have consulted say that there is no scope in said field but i like computer science very much and very interested in that subject. is this true . i am very confused.

Dear Darshan, With the advent of technology, computers definitely have scope, whether it is hardware or the software industry. what ensures your sustainability and scope is the skills that you possess, the knowledge that you have. This is a field which demands continuous updation, failing of which will end in stagnation. So if you are genuinely interested, then start working towards adding the skills and qualifications to yourself. All the best Growth Centre Team

Dear Tanai, All careers are interesting you have the right skills and attitude. Gone are the days when careers were gender specific. The choice of a career should be based on your aptitude, interest, personality, the career goal that you have set for yourself. You can pursue Masters in sociology which will give you employment avenues in social services, community work, corrections, business--in advertising, marketing and consumer research, insurance, real estate, personnel work, training, or sales or in health services--in family planning, substance abuse, rehabilitation counseling, health planning, hospital admissions, and insurance companies. Journalism will require you have a genuine interest in the field and well equipped with writing and verbal communication skills.
