It is believed that what we end up doing in life is a part of a greater game plan rigged together by the forces of fate and destiny. These forces gives us choices and help us take those decisions which may seem irrelevant to many around but ultimately end up becoming the turning point of life for a better or a doomed future. Well if the same is true, then it should be mandatory that, these forces give us a statutory warning of what lies ahead, but sadly that never the case. The world is littered with examples of people who have swapped their existing careers to areas of interest and are quite well placed in life today.
Observing this phenomenon closely you will realize that in comparison to other professions, the field of communication sees a massive switch of careers or job-jumps than any other field. The basic reason behind this is the deep seated connection between the vast field of communication and its allied areas. Every communication field is in constant touch with other associated professions which gives the communication candidates get a clear and closer look at the range of choices he can experiment with. A case example would be an individual working in an Ad agency, is in a constant range of job profiles like with PR, Event Management, Filmmaking and Television production etc. In short any of these job profiles may entice him to switch to these fields as per his interests. Though it is actually not switching fields because all these professions fall under the communication wing but in such a vast field the job profiles we discussed above are as different from each other as chalk and cheese.
To a large extent the new breed of communication institutes and the syllabus they offer to their students is the actual reason why candidates feel confident to experiment with various genres in the communication field. A course in journalism gives a student an overall idea of television production and multi-camera setup opening a dimension in his mind towards the print & TV industry. Courses in Advertising and Pr offer a healthy glimpse of creative writing and film making which are coincidentally also essential tools to understanding the art of script writing and film making respectively. Communication institutes and communication courses act as central nerve of the entire media network connecting each field of communication with another and bridging gaps of ignorance.
All this speculation over swapping jobs and changing the line of work is not a mandatory procedure for everyone but usually a whim and fancy of an individual mind. A lot of us are happy doing what we do and a few of us are always in the quest of finding to do that which is destined for us. Ultimately what we do will be our fate and what we achieve will be the thing we are destined for, so the idea is to do our best and with full interest. After all, “our fates we can’t decide and from our destiny we can never hide”
