Preface
There are already many Career Guide available in the market. Moreover, in today’s era of Information Technology and Internet, most of the information are available on the fingertip through click of a mouse. In such an environment is there any need of another career guide? The answer is yes, as most of the career guides available in the market devoted only on giving routine information and could not clear doubts of a vast majority of students. I strongly feel that there is need of a career guide in the form of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) which can provide a wider collection of information, as well as a guide to the younger generation and enable them to make their own decision.
The Complete Guide to Career Planning is specially written in the form of question-answer for the students of India and especially for those students, who not only lack in information, but also to migrate to other cities, outside of their home town. In this career guide emphasis is given on basic information required by students/parents for selecting a career or institution for studying a course. As information changes very fast and it is difficult to collect and compile all the information, there may be omission of many information which a student may require. Author shall be highly obliged and glad if the readers point out these shortcomings in the book to be corrected in the next edition.
I have to say that it is due to continuous support from my wife Mitali and daughter Bonu, I could complete this book. At last I thank my publisher; specially Dibya Borah without whose sincere effort this book would had remained as a manuscript.

INTRODUCTION
Q.1 What is Career?
Ans: Career is one of the most important words with which we are all concerned throughout our life. We all understand the meaning and significance of the word career, yet finds it difficult to define precisely when asked what is Career? According to Advance Learner’s Dictionary, career means profession or occupation with opportunities for advancement or promotion. Here comes the question as to what is occupation and profession? Occupation means job or employment for earning a livelihood and profession means paid occupation, especially one that requires advanced education and training, e.g. architecture, law, engineering or medicine, etc. So a career is not simply a job or an employment to earn a livelihood. A job or profession or employment can be called a career only when it has an element or opportunity for progress and advancement.
Human needs change progressively. So, in order to call a job or employment as career it must offer adequate opportunities or scope to satisfy or meet those changing needs. So a job or profession must be dynamic enough to fulfil one’s aspirations before calling it a career in real terms. Most young men think that acquiring a professional degree in the field of engineering, medicine or management is all about career. But acquiring a degree is only the stepping stone or first step into the field of one’s career. Like the learning process in life, career is also a continuous dynamic process of upward progression and that is why we never say pulling rickshaw can also be a career. Any occupation or profession to mature into a career must provide good remuneration, social prestige, good health, opportunity for growth and of ultimately happiness in life.
Some people think that earning money for a livelihood is career. However, earning money alone is not a career. After all thieves, robbers or smugglers also earn lot of money. Obtaining a degree is also not a career. One can now see hundreds of young men with too many degrees moving around without any job because they have earned a degree but not the skills or knowledge. To make a career out of an occupation, one must like it; possess the required intelligence and acquire the necessary skills/knowledge. Unless one has the aptitude for a particular profession, success in that field is difficult.
Q.2 What are the factors are to be considered before choosing a career?
Ans: The following factors should be considered before choosing a career:
(i) Intelligence: Intelligence includes your I.Q., Social Intelligence and Emotional Intelligence (E.Q.). Total intelligence is more important to be successful in life and career than simply having a high I.Q. There are many cases where an academically brilliant executive, considered a genius in his field, had failed miserably in his career only because he did not have required social intelligence and emotional stability.
(ii) Personality: As a person you may be an Introvert or Extrovert. You may be a Dominating personality or Submissive personality. If you are an Introvert, you should not choose a career that needs people with Extrovert nature. You may be too social or you prefer loneliness to do creative work. Only you can judge your personality and decide what is best for you. So always give due importance to your personality factor while deciding on your career.
(iii) Interest: All work is hard work unless you care for it and show interest in it. No amount of ability, aptitude, financial backing or any other support can be of any use if the requisite interest in the job is absent. However, it must also be said that excessive interest towards an occupation does not guarantee success in that field unless other factors are also taken into account.
(iv) Special Aptitudes: If one is good at art, it would be really sad for him to take up a care
