Business Architecture An Emerging Profession

Glamour is in the airs..

Some people have the job that we all envy. Their job is perceived as exciting or alluring, maybe even the best example of complete fun at work. Their job is glamorous. Glamorous jobs come with a sort of personal fascination, one that has young children aspiring to fly high as an airline pilot, or make a career out of creating the perfect wedding as an event planner or one turns your house into a real bliss, of course an interior designer. Television and movies glamorize certain jobs, like news reader, anchor or a Reporter. These jobs seem glamorous because they come with the opportunity to be seen by millions, such as a reporter, or to make millions, such as an investment banker.

For a growing number of cool youth, veejaying on television is becoming a tempting career offering fun, fame and fortune. Moreover it opens doors to other glamorous assignments like if u have got a real good personality and nice expressions, you can get an offer for acting or compering  other shows, radio jockeying, deejaying and many more options. The television debut of music channels (MTV, Channel V, Zee Music, B4U, VH1 etc) not only ushered in a new genre of entertainment for generation next, it also created a new breed of stars — veejays.

If we talk about Journalism and Media as a Glamorous Career, “The industry itself is so dynamic with so many new channels and newspapers coming up that it is absorbing all freshers and there are opportunities galore. Freshers find it quite challenging apart from being glamorous,” The emphasis is clearly more on broadcast journalism. Even in broadcast, TV journalism is the first option.

A Job of a photographer involves meeting high-profile celebrities, traveling to exotic locales, sight seeing and no wonder if you find your work on the cover pages of glossy magazines or newspapers, walls of  high class art galleries and loved by many people. Could you BE any cooler?

A hip and exciting profession for the young ’ones is fashion designing. “There’s hot competition in Fashion Designing but there’s also plenty of scope for beginners. Those with confidence, style, talent and attitude can make it big and earn hefty packages as the fashion and textile industry is on boom no doubt.

For an Investment Banker, we can say that he is  drunk with power, playing a key role in shaping the national and world economies, managing multi-billion dollar corporate mergers, and handling the transfer of government assets around the world. All the while, he get to travel all over the world on a six-figure salary. 
A recent Salary.com survey of more than 800 people found that these five professions are perceived to be the most glamorous jobs today:   Fashion Designer, Surgeon, Airline Pilot, . Photographer and . Investment Banker.

Being a very wide field, the scope of employment in tourism sector is very bright and the potential is still largely untapped. Career opportunities exist both in the public and private sector. In the public sector, there are opportunities in the Directorates and Departments of Tourism of the center and the state as Officers, information assistants, Tourist guides etc. Another good prospectus for qualified tourism professionals are in the private sector with travel agencies, tour operators, airlines, hotels, transport and cargo companies etc. The opening up of the skies to private airlines and their emerging tie-ups with foreign airlines has removed bottlenecks in the transport and communication network resulting in easy flow of domestic and foreign tourists in the country. Since this is a new area of employment, not many qualified and experienced people are available and the promotion prospectus are also very bright and rapid. After a few years of experience, One can also start their own business by handling all travel requirements of a client and gradually building up business, taking on additional employees.

In Tourism Industry, Guiding is also a good option. The Ministry of Tourism recognizes three types of guides- regional, state and local. A regional guide gets a two year renewable license from the Ministry of Tourism endorsed for life by the Archeological Survey of India. Guides give detailed information on the various monuments and artifacts and about the countries traditions and heritage.

Working in an airline, whether on the ground staff or in flight is an exciting option for many people these days. In the airlines, one can work as Traffic Assistance, Reservation and Counter Staff, Airhostess and flight pursers, Sales and Marketing staff and customer services. A course in travel and tourism or a qualification on Hotel management helps to get in. The jobs in airlines though challenging are glamorous and afford the possibility of traveling to exciting destinations. Free tickets for the family offered by some airlines are an added advantage. Domestic and international Airlines such as Air India, Indian airlines, Jet airways, Air Sahara, Aeroflot, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Singapore Airlines etc offer employment opportunities with attractive salaries and numerous benefits. 

The hotel Industry is basically a service industry providing food and accommodation to the Visitors. It is one which requires a large amount of manpower, with a wide variety of skills. In India alone, about 1, 80,000 vacancies are expected to be filled within the next decade. An hotel offers career opportunities in its various departments such as Operations, Front office, House keeping, Food and Beverages, Accounting, Engineering/ Maintenance, Sales, Public relations and Security etc. One can enter this field through direct entry in some departments or through hotel management institutes. There are many institutes that offer hotel management courses. Many hotels also offer overseas training opportunities, which allow young people to gain promotions rapidly. 

Real estate also attracts youngsters now a days. This sector is one of the most profitable sectors, and therefore, the number of real estate companies is burgeoning fast not only in any State or country, but throughout the whole world. Any such company has professionals from the civil engineering, architectural engineering, interior decoration, business administration, accounts, and numerous construction specialists, besides a large number of staff for other various official and field jobs.

Thus, this sector is a grand provider of abundant diverse jobs, and immensely glamorous and lucrative careers. Apart from building lofty and lavish residential and commercial apartments, these companies also construct flyovers, bridges, dams, etc. which broadens further the ambit of such a real estate company.

All these jobs are enchanting and allures youngsters a lot like and gives them a substantial chance to flourish in the world of glamour.

Lastly, I want to quote the words of a man who belongs to one the most glamorous fields, Prabal Pratap Singh, deputy editor, Aaj Tak. “I am a firm believer in the will to bring about changes. Youngsters nowadays are too practical to be just carried away by glamour and money. They have the fire in the belly to make a difference. This is one of the primary driving force for students to join the industry,”  

But before you go for anything, Contemplate whether the glamour is just outward or it carries the full masti and everything you require. Whenever you decide your Career, the most important thing you need is proper counseling direct from the horse’s mouth as a person having an experience of working in any particular field can advise you better about the opportunities and challenges of that area. Because sometimes impulsive descisions based on mere glamour attached to it can cause troubles for you and career.

Some professions just seem inherently glamorous, as they involve perks like free world travel, company of celebrities, lot of exposure to new and modern world and exclusive party invites or the nature of the work simply commands esteem and excess flow of money.  It’s not that working a nine-to-five desk job is always dull. It can also gives you more flexibility, money and excitement because in most of the glamorous jobs, Working 70 hours or more a week is standard, and staying up all night to close a deal isn’t unusual. 

Actually most of the time the excitement and fervour lies with the interest and attention you pay to any thing. And the fact behind these glamorous jobs is that the Competition for these jobs is extremely high, and breaking into the industry can be difficult for even the most talented newbies.

Inspite of all these facts, the craze for the glamour, name and fame is so much that youngsters are ready to face all the challenges of these jobs and are enthusiastically entering into this more exciting and adventurous world to convert their dreams into a pleasing reality.

 So, guys what are you upto ? Do Different and be Different. Rush for the Glamorous Jobs  as you have lot of options waiting to shape your career and make others envy you…
