Career Perspective

#1: Why? The most important consideration when choosing your course is asking yourself why you are looking to study . Do you want to further your career by extending your skill set? If this is the case you should choose a course in a subject that is a natural progression of your existing skills and qualifications. If the aim is to progress further with your current employer selecting a course that is relevant to your work is recommended. Discussing study options with your peers, colleagues or employer can help to determine what qualification will help with your career. Are you looking to diversify your knowledge or change career path completely?  Studying may be necessary if you are looking to change career.  If this is your motivation for studying it is important that you consider what career you wish to pursue .  Studying can be expensive, so be sure to fully research any prospective career. In summary: Think about your existing experience and skill se...

From the time we begin school till the time we graduate from college, we lead the charmed life of a student. We are free from the regular responsibilities of adult life with nothing to worry about except how to get good grades and enjoy life without getting into any serious trouble. Each year that passes by, we must grow in maturity and wisdom, and one aspect of maturing as a student is to learn how to manage your time . 1. Develops Responsibility. It may be cliched, but it is true that time and tide wait for no man. Each of us has the same 24 hours in a day, but some of us manage to get more accomplished because we use time more efficiently. This is the difference between successful and responsible adults and others who don’t value time. When you get into the habit of procrastinating as a student, you tend to do the same when you’re an adult. Habits that are learned when young are hard to change the older you become. 2. Leads to Effective Learning. When you know how to man...

Tests, and the studying that is needed to prepare for tests, can be very stressful and overwhelming for students. Most of the time, students don’t know where to start with all their class materials or how to study the materials in an effective manner. 1. Begin Studying Now —  Studying begins on the first day of any class and should be an ongoing process. Set aside a few minutes every night to review what you learned in class that day, regardless of whether you have a homework assignment or not. Choose a different topic or area to study each night. Reviewing the material on an ongoing basis will help you learn the information, take the pressure off the test preparation process and help you perform better on test day. 2. Note-Taking Skills —  As we discussed, preparing for a test starts much earlier than the week of the test. To have the right materials to study for the test, students must learn good note-taking strategies to implement during class and while reading sch...

Hobbies are indeed essential in our life. Having a hobby that we enjoy brings us joy and enriches our lives. Having a hobby that we enjoy brings us joy and enriches our lives. It gives us something fun to do during our leisure time and affords us the opportunity to learn new skills. We are very fortunate to have so many different options out there today. The best way to cultivate a new hobby is to try something new. The world is full of wonderful, exciting activities that we can explore and adopt as our own. Of course, all of us are unique and, therefore, our interests and hobbies vary. There are many reasons why all of us should have at least one hobby, but here are the main advantages: 1.        It makes you more interesting . People who have hobbies have experiences and stories that they can share with others. They also have specialized knowledge that they can teach to anyone who also has an interest in the same topics as they do. 2.  ...

1. Do not rote learn your answers , instead understand them. One should pay attention in the class and understand the theories or topics taught in the class. Rote learning is not helpful. One can forget answers easily and during such situations whatever you had grasped in class will eventually help you in the exam as well as in future. One can write answers in their own way instead of vomiting out the same thing what one has by-hearted. 2. Use mnemonics. Mnemonics are sentences which can help students to remember the order of certain things.  3. Start learning way before your exam and not a day before. Just learning won’t be sufficient as one has to revise all answers till the exam. So start learning before exams and   revise till the exam. 4. Presentation and handwriting are also important factors. Students often   fail to keep up with the presentation in a haste to finish a paper on time.  One should keep their answer sheets presen...

Civil engineers also must present their findings to the public on topics such as bid proposals, environmental impact statements, or property descriptions. Many civil engineers hold supervisory or administrative positions ranging from supervisor of a construction site to city engineer, public works director, and city manager. As supervisors, they are tasked with ensuring that safe work practices are followed at construction sites. Other civil engineers work in design, construction, research, and teaching. Civil engineers work with others on projects and may be assisted by  civil engineering technicians. Civil engineers prepare permit documents for work on projects in renewable energy. They verify that the projects will comply with federal, state, and local requirements. These engineers conduct structural analyses for large-scale photovoltaic, or solar energy, projects. They also evaluate the ability of solar array support structures and buildings to tolerate stresses from...
