SOME THOUGHTS TO PONDER!!!

It is thought to be “easy peasy” !!!

I will opt for it, as I m not good with science.

It doesn’t offer an immediate outcome like sciences or commerce.

Where is the money???

Availability of non conventional career options, which

require a good grounding in Humanities.

A degree in Humanities is a must for a career in Liberal

arts, journalism, clinical psychology etc.

If you dream to make a career in Civil Services, graduation

in Humanities will be of great help.

Humanities….the field for the future…

If you are intelligent, confident, wanting to explore the world.

If you enjoy studying the people and the society.

If you are interested in career options like Psychology, Economics, Education, Media, Politics etc.

If you are imaginative and artistic.

If your personality is outgoing and social.
