my career at stake
I am an Indian by nationality. from initial years of my schooling I have been a good learner and a great student at almost all subjects. I had an inclination in science and English language and wanted to work as a doctor or an editor as I grow up. I decided to go for medicine as a career but could not make it due to financial crisis and scarce seats in colleges. anyhow, I started with b.sc. in botany last year as it offered a safer landing to my career after JRF,M.Sc.Ph.D etc as a lecturer. but now it turns out to me that I can change my avenue by opting M.A. journalism or M.A. English and try to up bring my notion to be an editor or that sort of stuff. messed in my own dilemmas, I gave a sort of career test few days ago, it only added fuel to my fire! if I quote my result it says," yours is a hardworking, meticulous and diplomat personality. you have the attributes to be professional and meet the targets all times which makes you a dream employee . you'd be an asset at the corporate world." now this leaves me in a mess what should I go for a better career? M.Sc. , M.A. , M.B.A.? which of these would be a judicious choice?

It sounds like a person said this to you or wrote this in response to some test you took. The compliments can fit many different careers and indeed are an integral part of being a good candidate for a job such as 'hardworking, meticuous, professional, meeting the targets. That does not just apply to the corporate world but every job out there. Its just that some people feel if they don't have a certain level of job, they have less pride in their work and let things slide. But those things are important in any job.
Now if you will be doing a job that is not behind the scenes somewhere in an office but is service oriented or will require needing to speak to customers whether by phone or in person, then extra qualifications are needed in working with the public such as being a diplomatic personality, able to control ones emotions under pressure, a good problem solver, charismatic, friendly, good at gaining a persons trust and willing to go the extra step to help a customer. Those are a few of what come to mind at the moment. When pursuing a job, many go for the prestige of it, the initials that go behind your name, the lovely big income, but forget to go for the work that you have a passion for. There could be many jobs that your passions could fit perfectly. So what you need to discover is what it is that you deep down inside are passionate about, the things that interest most, come naturally to you as part of your personality and time seems to fly whenever you pursue such things. To make it easier to understand, I will use my self as an example.
I wanted to be able to tell others in a dating profile, much like one would tell information in a resume of who I really am at core. I find that anything that involves creativity or nurturing is what fuels my passions and my passions fuel any pastime or job that involves that. I have always been the natural mother, able to handle any amount of kids, my own and all their kids at once without losing my cool. Things were explained differently depending on their age level and tasks given again regarding their age level, always treatin them as human beings with a right to the same things that adults like to be treated. ANd I did much of the special guided crafts, activities, parties, or memory making family traditions that my kids carried on doing once having their own home and husband or boyfriend. That nurturing drew me to the garden too, planting seeds, or new plants, tending to them, making sure weeds were taken out, and right amounts of sun or shade available and many commented how lovely my garden was. I used my creativity in the garden but also in crafts with kids and also for myself, in writing poems, stories, creating songs for the kids, or for myself to play on guitar, I loved to create special baked things and later moved on to jewelry making and such. I hope you get the idea that if I looked hard enough, I'd find several jobs where my creativity and nurturing had an outlet. The advice column here is a way to nurture others. Or I could have fun being a window dresser, one who puts up window displays for companies. Or work in a bakery creating pretty cakes, etc....
Discover first your passions and then look hard at the careers to see if any will offer any outlet for those passions. It is the person who is passionate in their vocation who is also the most successful in their career. I will not see a Dr who cares more about his paycheck than my needs and people can easily pick up the energy or the vibes coming off a person, not just their words or body language which can cement the fact that they dont really care to help you or do their job, its just another day to pay day and having money to pay your bills. You have taken care of your budget without helping anyone else in the world really. So that is my advice, to help you in deciding what schooling or career degree to go after.
