<p>Dear Sir,</p>.<p>I’m a BHMS graduate. I’m interested in teaching and not in practising Homoeopathy. Can you please suggest a course other than MD(Hom) to help me go into teaching?</p>.<p>Vijaya Sudarshan</p>.<p>Dear Vijaya,</p>.<p>Teaching can be a very fulfilling vocation if you are truly passionate about giving a better future to the younger generation. Identify which age group you would like to teach. The range is very wide – kindergarten (pre-school), Montessori, Primary, Middle, or High School, PUC students, children with special needs or disabilities, etc. If possible spend some time in an institution which you are targeting. Then, if you are willing to commit yourself to a couple of years of full-time learning, you can take up either a B.Ed., D.Ed., Montessori, B.Spl.Ed. or a course in Creative Teaching. Since you have studied medicine, you can also opt to become a Life Skills Trainer e.g. teaching girls about adolescence, menstrual hygiene, relationships etc. Ensure that you are fully knowledgeable and committed before you take the plunge. If you wish, you can even do an internship for a year nd get exposure to the type of education in the sector of your choice, and then proceed.</p>.<p>Dear Sir,</p>.<p>I am a BBM graduate, I would like to know what are the career prospects in my discipline and the courses or degrees (except MBA) I am eligible for, along with work or job.

Does it really help, do they really teach coding? How useful is it if I want to go for a coding career? </p>.<p>Nitesh</p>.<p>Dear Nitesh,</p>.<p>Not everyone is inclined or has an aptitude towards coding. Only if you have made up your mind that you will work in the field of computer science, programming etc. then it may be worthwhile taking up such coaching. Otherwise, keep all options open, whenever possible learn different skills and do a variety of short-term courses that do not interfere with your regular studies, and then narrow down your career goals.</p>.<p>Dear sir,</p>.<p>What are the good and safe and innovative options in engineering? </p>.<p>Likita</p>.<p>Dear Likita,</p>.<p>In a fast-changing world, nothing is ‘safe’ or good in the long run.

Many colleges in Bengaluru offer this course, and you can make your selection when you come to Class 12.</p>
