Gone are the days when you could only make your career by being a Doctor, Engineer, or professor. Now things have changed, the world has changed and so many options are available for all categories of people. Be it, students, working professionals, homemakers, or mothers working from home, N number of options are available these days, by which you care to create a legit career and earn as much as you want.
Changing career options and choosing a career according to your liking and interest has become easier nowadays. Hence I would like to share the 5 career options for students which never existed 7 years ago…!
1. Social Media Manager / Digital Marketer: Social media is there since the Orkut days. But people used it only for their social networking and making friends around the globe. However, things started changing when businesses started using social media 5-7 years ago (Especially Facebook in those days) to make more money. And hence space for social media managers and Digital marketers is created. Marketing patterns have changed from time to time and in the last 7 years, Digital Marketing has become every business’s primary need. Hence high-paying jobs for digital marketers and social media managers are available. The good part is, if you enjoy social media and love working online, this job is for you. You can choose to work from home and create an entire business around the same.
2. Social Media Video Editor: Earlier Video editing was only used for Bollywood songs or high-level business campaigns. And not many people were doing it as their steady career. However, with the way social media has evolved in the last 7 years, reel editors, youtube video editors are increased and jobs for them are also easily available. So if you have good video editing skills, many high-level brands would love to pay you a high amount for this job. As Visual Branding is the key to success for all these brands these days.
3. Life Coaching: Life coaching has been there since the 1980s to be very honest. However, in the last 7 years, it has become a great career option. If you hold certificates about the same or a degree in psychology you can opt for this career option. A Life coach is someone who has a deep understanding of getting success and the application of its principles. Through social media, life coaches are becoming personal brands and through their brands, they are literally earning 1000 of $$ every single month. It is a good career option, only if you have deep knowledge about the same.
4. Social Media Influencer: Now trust me, this is something people feel is easy, but is not. Creating a personal brand around just who you are and what you do is not easy. In the last 7 years, from the time Youtube became a thing and normal people started their youtube channel and made it big, became an influencer, this term came into the picture. Nowadays if you have more than 10K followers on Instagram you become an influencer. It takes time to build this entire however if you do it so, you can actually earn well through it, and it can become a good legit career option for you.
5. Podcast producers: Who doesn’t have a podcast these days? It is estimated that there are approximately 850,000 podcasts with more than 30 million episodes. Considering that half of US consumers over the age of 12 listen to podcasts, this is a vast market. Everyone is getting in on the action, and this is a great addition to the labor market because a new in-demand field has been born: podcast producers.
This position possesses plenty of responsibilities, such as podcast management, quality control supervision, guest research, and guest scheduling. As podcasts become more prevalent among the industry power players, podcast producers will be in even more demand than they are today.
This career option also was not that common 7 years ago.
Nowadays if you have any skill, you can conquer the world and make a huge life for yourself and your family. You just need to identify that skill, master it and use it as your career for the rest of your life.
