In this day and age, people are not confined to traditional job titles and career options. With changing landscapes, youth is getting inclined more towards quirky career options .
The millennials are ditching the conventional job options and leaning towards cooler and unconventional careers.
“The year 2017 is going to witness radical changes because of three broad trends – growing dependence on technology, ever-changing dynamics in the field of careers, and a rise of unconventional and quirky careers,” said Prateek Bhargava, CEO, Mindler.
There are many options in the new-age careers which also fetch attractive salaries.
“A general presumption is that offbeat and exciting careers do not pay well, but if you hit it off right, and are adept at what you do, then you are in for a highly rewarding, fun and exhilarating career,” he said.
The entry-level salaries are at par, and in some cases even better, than those in conventional careers. Average salaries, say for UX design from a top college rake at Rs 80,000 a month, which is a tad bit higher than the average salaries for an engineering program.
This holds true for programs such as big data analytics, and content design, where professionals can start anywhere between Rs 30,000 and Rs 50,000, and go up to Rs 3,00,000 a month depending upon their expertise, and domain experience.
“Forensic accounting, and rural management are again careers that see high demand, and professionals that possess domain experience, and expertise have the potential to earn up to Rs 2,00,000 a month. The entry-level salaries are between Rs 25,000 and Rs 30,000 though,” said Bhargava.
So, if you are planning to take the road less travelled, here are 10 quirky new-age careers students should watch out for in 2017
