US may allow foreign students to stay for 6 years after degree

If American corporations can't hire H1-Bs, they can hire H1-wannabes

That in essence will be the outcome of the Obama administration's move to allow tens of thousands international students to stay on in the United States for up to six years after they finish their college degree.

The far-reaching proposal, which will be of interests to a large body of students from India who come to the US for higher education, comes amid continuing resentment in some American quarters about "low-wage" foreigners taking up jobs as illustrated in the fracas at Disneyworld, where native-born US workers, seen as opponents of free trade, are fuming about being displaced by guest workers from India in a trend broadly known as outsourcing, leading to tension in the world's best-known amusement park and an icon of Americana.

On Thursday, the anti-outsourcing brigade, gathering steam in an election season and supported by US lawmakers who back their protectionist stand, persuaded the US Labor Department to open an investigation into two India-based firms, Infosys and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), for alleged violations of rules for visas for foreign technology workers under contracts they held with Southern California Edison, an electric utility. As in the case of Disneyworld, the power company is said to have laid off hundreds of US tech workers after they were forced to train workers from India under the H1-B visa program for guest workers.

First choose career, then pick course and college

Before choosing a course, a student must decide on the career he or she wants to pursue. For example, if one wants to go for media, one follows nomenclature and goes for BMM instead of trying to find out about the skill set required for a career. BMM is a good course, but one can also opt for arts and do English, psychology and sociology. Media requires good communication skills, good writing skills, and an in-depth knowledge of society. 

Students should opt for colleges that provide the specific skill set for a career. They have a faint idea about one or two careers. They don't look for careers, but courses. Many take admission in engineering and then pursue a management course. In a management institute, 80% students have a science and technology background. Why is a graduate in chemical engineering selling garments? 

Then, if I've decided to choose engineering, which field do I want? Mechanical, software or hardware ? It should not come down to: if I don't get computer science in BE, I'll do chemical engineering, and so on. 

Instead of BE for four years, one could do B.Sc in IT for three years. Perhaps the best course for a career in computers is a B.Sc in Math, physics and statistics. It gives the logic required for computer programming.

10 Benefits Of Studying Abroad



Ask anyone who went studying abroad and they will all tell you- Hell ya!! Definitely do it!
Studying abroad is one of the most rewarding and life changing experiences a student can have. You are not only learning academically, but you get the opportunity to learn to stand on your own feet, freedom to make your own choices, absorb a different culture and pretty much learn a new way of life. 





1. STUDY ABROAD ENHANCE YOUR ACADEMIC SKILLS
Studying abroad presents you with the opportunity to gain experiences a classroom setting can never provide. It is a chance to expose you to different styles of education. You get to learn a subject/major from a different cultural perspective giving you extensive knowledge on it. You can take courses that are not normally offered in your home country or other than your specialty. You could maybe do a minor in another field or add another major.


2. STUDY ABROAD IMPROVES ON YOUR CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND GET READY FOR AN INTERNATIONAL WORKSPACE
Studying abroad at a location, which is a global hub for your interested field, could provide you with great opportunities such as learning from the best of experts and gaining some incredible work experiences.







With world globalization and the requirement of international interaction, studying and living in a foreign country, absorbing a new culture, maybe learning a new language could give that extra edge and set you apart from thousands of job applicants. Potential employers look quite highly on international exposure, as the students are independent, display diversity and are more adept to new challenges and difficult situations.

If you are looking to settle abroad or are keen to work in another country, a local education there could definitely be of help as well.

Tips For Career Selection After Board Exam Results




It is vacation time for most of the school- going children, but for students of 10th and 12th standards, the time has arrived to take a vital decision. One of the most difficult questions every youngster has to face in life which career to opt for? The answer simply lies in what you want to pursue all your life. One can achieve success in work only if he enjoys it. In the past, a child never really had the freedom of choice and had to adhere to his parent’s preference. With the change in time, have the circumstances changed too? Earlier, there were limited career options but now there is an upsurge of alternatives in every field, be it science, commerce or arts. Of late, there has been a swell in the number of career counselling centres as well, who guide your child to the right path. In such a scenario, who should have the final say?
Some students consider parents’ views to be a key factor in decision making. Nerul resident Ananaya Dey, who is currently preparing for her CET exam said, “Parents will always think for the benefit of their child. They are much more experienced than us and know what is better for us.” But majority children are of the option that they must be given the right to select a profession of their interest. 







Supporting this view, Ayushi Raj, a standard 10 student said, “An individual knows where his interest lies and what his capabilities are. May parents wanted me to pursue engineering but I aspire to become a doctor. I want to do what I believe in and I have my parents’ full support.” 

There is said to be parental pressure on children to conform to career choices as they wish their child to fulfil their dreams. But in today’s scenario, parents have become more liberal and thoughtful of their child’s wish. Anita Hingnekar wanted her daughter to opt for science stream but her (daughter’s) desire was to pursue commerce and she stood by her decision. Anita said, “It’s not us but the children who have to study the subject. So we must be considerate and support them.”

In times of uncertainty, parents also let children consult career counsellors to get a professional take on which field to pot for. Salma Prabhu, a leading counsellor suggests, “Along with personal interests, it is important to get a scientifically proven result that helps high light the qualities of a child and assist in choosing a suitable career.” Shivangi Thakur, a 12th standard student from Nerul who has had counselling experience said, “Because of the innumerable options available, I was confused in the beginning as to which vocation should I go for. Consulting counsellors surely helped me get a clear idea but it didn’t influence my decision wholly.”

There are times when we are even thinking about work when we are back home. Therefore something that seems mundane, unsatisfying, and repetitive just won’t cut it after a while.

Women and the MBA : Change in management demographics across geographies


Hello readers! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We are back with another series of posts this week and this time we’d be looking at ‘Women and the MBA’. To date we have found that there remain some myths and pre conceived notions attached to the female demographic in the MBA domain and in the mind of the average person, business schools are still associated less with women than men in a lot of South Asian countries, especially places like Thailand, Vietnam and of course, India. However, we are trying to bust some myths in this series and this is the first one of those myths. So, if you are one of the people who think on similar lines, then you might be in for a pleasant surprise. 
Let’s see why! There has been something of a paradigm shift in the global MBA demographic trends from 1980’s and early 90’s. This is substantiated if you look at the statistics; at top international business schools, on average, women now constitute 35% of an MBA class as compared to about 20% in 1989. While 35% is still a minority share, what’s encouraging is that more and more women are preparing for MBA admissions processes than ever before. Also, this is happening in big way in the geographies that one did not earlier associate with such trends. If you were to look at specific business schools here, then the Wharton Business School leads the pack with 40% of its entire MBA population in the class of 2012 being women. What’s more, together, these students represent a total of 68 countries.




When one talks about countries where there are more women who are preparing to take the GMAT than men, the immediate guesses would generally have been countries such as the U.S., Canada or maybe the UK.   Therefore, it should come as quite a revelation that in fact, more women than men are taking the GMAT in China, Russia, Vietnam and Thailand and this embodies a huge wave of change across the world where more and more women are choosing Management as a career option over previously preferred occupations for women in Asian countries like teaching, administrative work or becoming a home maker. Over a quarter of a century ago, most women in these developing countries  who are now looking at entering B-schools were not even born, and their parents perhaps did not foresee that their girl child would be sitting across a computer taking English-language standardized tests, in her endeavour to go overseas for a Management degree and subsequently a management career.
So why is this happening? Of course, the female empowerment movement across the world, the emphasis on equality of sexes, not just in the west, but in the eastern world too is likely a key reason; and increased exposure and opportunities have a lot to do with this change. However, there is another factor  that has contributed to this trend; that top B-schools  & organizations around the world are realizing that there is a set of qualities that women unusually posses which in some cases make for better manager and more efficient leaders. Women are universally known to be more well organized, more patient, with better people skills and more composed at times of taking important decisions- all qualities required for a good management student & professional.
Judy B. Rosener was one of the first people to observe this in her revolutionary & path breaking article titled ‘Way women Lead’ published in the Harvard Business Review in 1990. In the article Judy says, “The women’s success shows that a non–traditional leadership style is well suited to the conditions of some work environments and can increase an organization’s chances of surviving in an uncertain world. It supports the belief that there is strength in a diversity of leadership style.”
