Ujire – “While a job may be short-term, a career is long-term. It is important to focus on building a meaningful career rather than just seeking employment, and hence choosing the right profession is crucial,” said Dr. Rajesh Mohan, Director of the Regional Centre, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), Thiruvananthapuram.
Dr. Mohan delivered a guest lecture on career opportunities organized by the Department of Political Science at SDM College, Ujire, on September 26.
He emphasized that students must pursue work they are passionate about. When selecting a career, understanding one’s interests and aligning them with the chosen field is vital for long-term success. He also advised students to develop critical thinking skills and enhance language proficiency, particularly in English, to remain competitive in the job market.
“Political science today offers unprecedented career and employment opportunities. The subject equips students to analyze societal policies and challenges while honing communication skills, making them valuable in various professional fields,” he added.
The lecture was presided over by the Head of the Political Science Department, Nataraj H.K., while faculty members Bhagyashree, Dr. Shivkumar, and Dr. Lakshmikant, Assistant Professor from Vivekananda Law College, Puttur, were also present.
Student representatives Veksha welcomed the gathering, Keerthi introduced the guest, Tanushree delivered the vote of thanks, and Achal anchored the event.
