5 Career Choices for 2020 Graduates

If you are in your
final year at university, you will already be looking at potential careers, and
if you chose your subjects well, you should have quite a few career options
ahead. Here are a few top professions that will be in great demand in the
coming years, in no particular order.

1. Web
   Development – If you
   majored in computer science, you can embark on a great career as a web
   developer. This might include website design, social media marketing,
   cyber-security or even app design, which is very much in demand at present, and
   front-end developers are at the high end of the pay scale.
2. Digital
   Marketing – Let’s face it,
   the words ‘digital and marketing’ are already inseparable, and by specialising
   in search engine optimisation (SEO), you can help businesses to achieve higher
   rankings within a Google search. If you are looking for a career that is
   stable, SEO is a great choice, although you will have to keep up with the rapid
   pace of development, which means the playing field is constantly changing.
3. Scientific
   Research & Development
   – The field of R&D offers the science minded learners a great opportunity
   to learn more about their chosen field. There happens to be one very
   well-respected American international school in Bangkok that excels in the sciences and many of
   their students go onto become chemists or physicists working in their chosen
   industry. The Nano industry is blossoming, and with 3d printing technology,
   this is indeed an exciting time to enter the career arena.
4. Tourism
   & Hospitality – No
   matter how digital the world becomes, people will still take vacations, and in
   a country like Thailand, over 50m people visit annually, so there are many
   exciting opportunities in tourism & hospitality industries. The south of
   Thailand is home to many 5-star luxury hotels and resorts, all of which require
   quality employees, and if you graduate in this field, you can expect to walk
   into an assistant manager’s position, and in a few years, you could be running
   the facility.
5. Health
   & Medicine – We will
   always need doctors and nurses, and with Nano technology coming into play, the
   modern doctor or surgeon would incorporate AI into their work. Thailand, for
   example, is a global hub for medical treatment, with some of the best hospitals
   in the world located in Bangkok. If you are not doctor material, why not
   consider the administrative side, or perhaps Human Resources – another
   essential for the industry.

It is essential
that you plan your career from an early age, and make sure you do some thorough
research into your chosen career, in order that you can make an informed
decision when the time comes. If you are studying in an international school,
make sure you consult with your in-house careers officer, who is there to offer
students assistance in all aspects of choosing a career, and with their expert
guidance, you will make all the right choices and enjoy a rewarding career.
