Nikita, let me update you about more options. Design is a field that is age old and has been evolving every year like science. Sometimes student Artists are too much enamoured by Fine Arts preventing them to look objectively at Design. They must read this http://bit.ly/SXc9GD. Again like science it pays to be at the cutting edge. For e.g. science students do better if they go for CS or IT since that are areas where development is taking place rapidly. Similarly in Design the cutting edge areas are UID/ UXD, 3D Printing, Immersive Technology, Augmented Reality, 3D Projection etc, besides of course Game Design & Animation. Of course at the top of the pile lies Concept Designing (usually reserved for writers and visionaries) - these people are required by Event Companies, Animation Studios, VFX Studios, & of course Game Studios. At this stage, you may want to understand the creative world and the careers it offers. There are many careers for the creative/ artistic people. Interiors, textile as well as Web Design rely on the same skills - your layout skills and color sense. Journalism also is at this level and relies on your language skills & knowledge of history and current affairs. A little higher perches Graphic Design, Fashion Design, jewellery design, Acting, & Fine Arts which rely on one of your artistic skills - sketching & imagination. At a similar level perches VFX as well as Motion Graphics which rely on one of your artistic skills - Cinematographic skills & imagination. Then come careers like Animation, Film Making, Game Design which rely on multiple talents like your authority over sketching, acting, direction, voice, sound, writing, storytelling and problem solving skills etc. Any extra skill can be used in this. So it turns out to be one of the most challenging as well as satisfying careers. Sure not recommended for the weak hearted. Do remember that digital design careers (e.g. web design, graphics, UI design, animation, vfx, multimedia) give better profits since they can be delivered anywhere in the world & hence may earn in dollars - resulting in better rewards for designers. You may also like to read this about the kind of preparation the best students put into design http://bit.ly/1ddUSi8. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion & expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like.

Hi Aneeshya,
As the details of the human genome unfold, the variety of opportunities for people with degrees and training in human genetics is continuing to expand. There are opportunities in basic and clinical research, in medical professions, and in interdisciplinary fields, such as patent law. The genetics workforce is not sufficient even now, and demand continues to increase. For example, as genetic testing becomes more commonplace, and a part of many routine medical evaluations, more laboratory geneticists will be needed to perform the tests, and clinicians and counselors will be needed to interpret and explain the results to individuals and families. At the intersection of genetics and computer science, bioinformaticists are in high demand to make sense of complex data. As genetics is recognized to be a basic part of all biological sciences, more and more teachers with expertise in genetics will also be needed. These are just a few examples of the growing demand for professions trained in genetics.
The salaries and fringe benefits vary, depending on educational background (i.e., highest degree held) and the position taken, but in general, people working in genetics are well-compensated professionals. Geneticists working in university medical centers or research institutions would have salaries and benefits typical of faculty members of similar rank. For those geneticists choosing a career in the private sector (e.g., a biotechnology company), the salary and benefits might vary according to the resources of the company.
Hope this helps. All the best.
