 Hi friends, welcome to my channel, I am Arpita Karwa and in this video we are going to talk about students who have done bachelors of arts or popularly known as BA. These are those students who according to society are academically dumb or below average. People think that these students are brainless, if they would have brains they would have definitely taken up science or commerce. Because according to them, after doing BA, their careers are over, finished. There are no jobs, no good salaries and respect, there is no respect either. I am not saying this, this is society's general perception about BA as a degree. So today we are going to debunk all these stupid myths. I am going to tell you 10 career paths which you can walk on as a BA student which will give you a lot of money and a lot of respect and you can make these people shut their mouths forever. Before moving ahead if you are new to this channel then please hit the subscribe button and press the bell icon so that every Sunday as soon as we upload a new video you are the first one to know about it. We are proud to share that we are India's largest YouTube channel right now in the field of UGC net exam preparation. Now let me begin today's video by giving you my own example. I scored 9.8 CGPA in grade 10th and I was an academically bright student. So I chose commerce in grade 11th and 12th and it didn't take me a lot of time to figure out that numbers don't attract me at all. So I chose to do BA honours in English literature right after school because I understood that teaching was my passion and English literature was my calling. And because I chose to do something I was passionate about, today I am earning more than what my signs and commerce stream friends earn. So if you really have similar kind of passion and zeal to do hard work, the career paths that I am going to tell you today, you can ace them like anything and earn so much money and respect for yourself. In Rice movie, Shah Rukh Khan says a very beautiful line, No business is smaller and no one is bigger than business. So it doesn't mean that you don't have the courage to do arts. I agree that people might first laugh at you when you decide to pursue arts but then when they see the results and how well you are doing for yourself, then they will be the ones who will be calling you lucky. So hard work and passion are two things which will change the story of your life. Take MBA or engineers, take any. After completing their degrees, they are now venturing out and doing startups from scratch. One prominent example of MBA is the MBA Chaiwala. It's beautiful how he followed his passion and made a very small idea into a million dollar company. So on this very pumped up note, let's start today's video and let's look at all the possible career options. Friends, the first career option is the most common career options that students opt for after doing B.M. I am taking it first because I want to debunk the myths that is around this and this career option is teaching. So there are three types of careers in the teaching field. The first one is teaching in a school. The second is teaching in a college as a lecturer or a professor. And the third is teaching in a coaching setup or a coaching institute. Let's first talk about the school teaching. There is a country wide myth that school teachers do not get good salary packages. But that's just not right. If you pick up Dune School of Dheradun or let's say Mayo School of Ajmer, their salary packages like the salary packages of teachers working there are very, very fancy. Teachers there are earning a lot of money. I mean, if you're teaching in a very local school, of course the packages won't be very lucrative. But with passion, zeal, teaching style and hard work, you can get into a very good school and from there you can start your career. Which time you can become coordinator, vice principal and even the principal. Let's now talk about teaching in colleges. So after doing BA, let's say you do MA and then you clear UGC Net in the subject of your choice, then you can become a professor of a college or a university. And even college professors get really good salaries. Friends, if you have passion to teach and you get into a good college, then I'm sure there is no looking back. The third option which has become very popular thanks to COVID is online teaching. Friends, edtech is very, very popular these days. And there are a lot of edtech platforms that are coming up every day. Even my own website, arpetakarwa.com is also an edtech platform. And with edtech comes a lot of opportunities for you. You can find a good coaching institute as a teacher or alternatively, you can also open your own coaching institute. And the best part about online teaching is that you don't need a lot of investment. You don't need to pay rent or buy chairs for students or investment technology and salaries of people, staff working with you. You can just be a single person army. Plus, geography is no concern because you can be living in Delhi with students from Tamil Nadu, from Assam, from Meghalaya. And friends, there is a lot of money in online coaching. If you talk about the reputed faculties of UPSC, the package range from somewhere around 50 lakhs to even 1 crore per year. Friends, such lucrative offers are not even offered by big MNCs like Google or Facebook to MBA and to consultants. So friends, in this field there is no looking back. There is no limit to how much money you can earn. Before we move on to the next point here is something that I want to share if you want to make a career in the field of teaching.

Now, coming on to the next career path, it is designing. Friends, there are n number of options in the field of designing. One of them is fashion designing. If you have a fashion sense and if you are passionate about the fashion industry and if you love reading about fashion world, this industry is for you. These days on Mintra, there are a lot of homegrown fashion brands. Even Instagram is filled with new fashion brands launching different types of clothes and accessories every day. So you don't need to even associate yourself with big brands like Manish Malhotra. You can even make your own website and sell clothes and accessories on those platforms. The next one in the field of designing only is my personal favorite and that is graphic designing and digital marketing. Friends, mark my words. This is the next big thing because COVID has made everything online. Every brand needs logo, creators for their social media branding, which will add copies, banners, basically for all the marketing collateral. A graphic designer is very, very important. Do you see the menus and cafes and restaurants? That is the work of a graphic designer. Behind every website, there is a UI UX designer who designs the graphic for the website. Related work in the field of graphic designing also includes video editing, making GIS, doing animations, etc., etc. Closely related to graphic designing is another field which is digital marketing. Now, there's a huge boom in this industry right now. From validating a brand online to putting its entire branding in place, from creating and expanding its digital presence, including social media marketing, performance marketing, SEO, beat content or YouTube SEO, a digital marketer is the master of all these traits. And for these skills like graphic designing, digital marketing, you don't even need a degree from a very reputed college or I would rather say you don't need to even go to a college. You can learn all these skills online for free. Can you believe it? You can start as a freelancer and later as you grow, you can even start your own digital marketing company. Friends, the next career path is to be a psychologist. So after doing BA, if you feel that you have interest in psychology, mental health, I would personally suggest that you should do MA in psychology. If you are a good listener, if you have empathy as a skill, if you have good communication skills, you can become a very good psychologist. And the reason why I'm stretching so much on this topic is because after COVID, the need for therapists and psychologists have increased. COVID took a toll on a lot of people's health. Plus according to statistics, can you believe in India, one out of every five individuals have some sort of mental health issue, whether they know it or not. And this trend is going to rise more in the coming years. And as mental health awareness is increasing day by day, the need for counselors and therapists will also increase. Because more and more people want to talk it out, talk about their problems, go to a therapist, they will need mental health experts. In fact, other than working as an individual psychologist, you can even work with MNCs after you do MA in psychology and you can help these MNCs to understand consumer psychology. Big brands have various positions available for such counselors. Plus, all these big brands have started taking counselors on board in their HR team so that they can help manage their employees' stress and work anxiety in a better way. So a lot of scope is waiting for you. Friends, the next career path is preparing for government exams. Now, I'm sure you must be knowing about all these government exams. People from every field and any field can appear for these exams. There are a lot of exams like bank PO, UPSC, SSCCGL, railways, insurance, army, navy, some opportunities there. You can give these exams and get enrolled in any government department. Now, a lot of students would say, clearing a government exam is such a big deal that I need to be academically bright and I have to be very, very intelligent but I'm not. I'm a very average student. Now, friends, remember the age-old saying, hard work beats talent every time talent doesn't work hard. So if you're just talented and you're not willing to put in hard work in the practice, you're not going to win. I'm telling you, only with the help of talent, nobody can achieve great things in life and even if you are not so brilliant academically, OK OK types but decide to work hard, you can clear these government exams and if you type average person clearing government exams, you will find so many videos and stories of people on YouTube and how they worked hard and left no stone unturned to succeed. Stories of students who hardly scored 50% in class 12th but scored rank one in one of these government exams just because they wanted to prove themselves. So if you are hard-working and dedicated, even if you're not so brilliant, not so sharp, that's OK. With dedication and hard work, you can ace anything in your life. And in the language of Karthik Aryan, the problem is that students prepare for the government exam and most of the time they get distracted. They get in between preparation and sometimes before preparing. They don't study diligently and then they say, Arya, this exam can only clear extraordinary students. But to be honest, the problem is in your mind. The problem is in your focus. Friends, if you focus sun's rays using a magnifying glass on paper, the rays of the sun can burn the paper. So focus is that discriminating factor which sets apart toppers from the rest of the public. And now we land on to the fifth career option, which is MBA. To do an MBA from a reputed institute, you need to sit for competitive exams like CAT. If you want to polish yourself, enhance your personality and management skills, there is a very brilliant option awaiting for you and that is MBA. This way, you can easily get into managerial roles in MNCs and corporate houses. By the way, if you are new to this channel before I move ahead and talk about other career options, please hit the subscribe button and press the bell icon so that every Sunday as soon as I upload a new video, you're the first one to know about it. Friends, the next option that I'm going to talk about is a foreign language trainer. It's a very different career option. You've never heard of it, right? Not a lot of people will tell you about this opportunity. But this is also a very flourishing and a very lucrative career. Also because in this current age of digitization, all the countries are coming together. Sitting in India, you can watch French and Korean movies on Netflix. Through the internet, we can work with people from whichever country we want. And friends, there's a huge need for translators right now to translate books, journals, web series, documents, agreements and whatnot. You can learn foreign languages online and then can appear for any exam to showcase your proficiency and become a foreign language expert. And this career is an extremely high-paying one because in India, very few people know any other language apart from Hindi, English or the regional language. People who have proficiency in French, Spanish, German are in high demand and because the supply is less, the salaries are very lucrative. Friends, let's now talk about another career option. We're going to talk about management but this time it's not MBA. We will talk about two very different types of management. Number one is hotel management and number two is event management. With the boom in the travel industry and all these travelling influencers telling us to travel, people have actually started travelling a lot. Where we used to go once in the summer holidays and now every other month we go on vacation. And with this, the hotel industry is flourishing. There's a need for people who have done hotel management. On the other hand, shows like The Big Day, Indian matchmaking on Netflix showed us all about the wedding business in India. India is known for the big fat Indian wedding and there are so many different themes in wedding these days. And there is a need for event managers to streamline everything in weddings. Karolapathy spent tens of crores on weddings and event managers charge 1% as their commission on these weddings. Which is like 10 lakhs. 10 lakhs from one single wedding. You can make a lot of money if you prove your skills guys. Not just these events but events like Honoke please, Zomaland, Concerts all these other corporate events also need people who are proficient in the field of event management. And since these types of events are targeted towards the elite class of people, there is a lot of money that you can make. So event management is another big thing that you can think of. Friends, the next career path is journalism. If you are someone who loves being on TV or in the limelight, then journalism is for you. You can do MJMC which is Masters of Journalism and Mass Communication. And then you can start as a news reader or a news writer or a content writer for these different publishing houses. You can associate yourself with any news channel or you can associate yourself with any publishing house or newspaper agency. Various different kinds of positions are there in these agencies. If you like writing, you can become a news writer. If you like speaking, you can become a news reader or a journalist. So friends, journalism I think is another great career option that you can go for. Next we have LLB. There is one more thing that you can do. You can practice law or you can join any company's legal department. There will be so many things that you will have to do for the company like completing the statutory requirements for the company, drafting legal notices, completing the legal formalities on the company's behalf. This is another type of law that you can practice. Last but not the least comes my favourite career path and that is of becoming an entrepreneur. Friends, this career path has the most potential in the world. Yes, in the world, not just in India. I will tell you how. I take a lot of pride in telling you that I am an entrepreneur and as an entrepreneur, your life is very challenging because you start your own company which is just like your own baby. You have to nurture and feed that company each and every day. There are so many challenges that keeps popping up but the rewards are also great. I have an ITIC platform and I am a YouTube content creator. YouTube, if you talk about it, is amazing if you have knowledge to share. In fact, post a certain level, your channel gets monetized also. So if you are passionate about something, you can definitely put a business model around it and become an entrepreneur. If you like to travel, you can become a travel blogger and start your own YouTube channel. You can collaborate with other creators and earn a lot of money through sponsorship and brand deals. Friends, some people also do startups. They start with an idea, then make a company and then the investors put valuations on their business. Their businesses become unicorns and they become millennials. For example, Rutey Shagarwal, Oyo's founder was hardly 18, 19 years old when he started Oyo. Can you believe it? This boy became the youngest billionaire. So like I said, there is a lot of hard work, so many challenges, but the rewards are also plenty. So it all boils down to what exactly you are passionate about. If you know that passion, then there's nothing that's stopping you. Find out the career options that will suit you the best and work hard towards it. You will find that there are so many opportunities knocking your door if you just have the potential and you have to stay sincere and dedicated.
