Which career should I opt for as a commerce student? Is travel and tourism a good idea?

I'm in class 12th studying commerce. I have an average understanding of all things. So, its hard for me to decide what should I choose. I love to travel and I'm a sportsperson. So I thought of doing travel and tourism.

    Hello Anjali,
    Travel and tourism generally involves profiles in sales and marketing, if you like working under pressure and targets and meeting new people, you may go ahead.
    Secondly, careers in finance are very lucrative. You can go ahead with certifications like:
    1. CFA.
    2. FRM.
    3. PMP.
    Careers in investment banks are very fruitful and high paying with exponential learning.

    Hi Anjali,
    Firstly, I would like to tell you that being an average doesn't mean being poor. Secondly, you shouldn't stop something like this if you've started it with a motive. You're in 12th standard only and you have whole life in front of you.
    First, try to understand and remove your weaknesses with the help of your teachers and parents, then please try to understand the criticality of career. Go through the whole analysis of why you opted for commerce and even then, if you feel that tourism is Okay for you, then you should go for it. The competition is very tough and even in tourism, you'll face challenges and hurdles. Hence, once a

    Hello Anjali,
    It is very important for your life to enjoy your work. Weak academics simply show that you don't like theory. Follow your heart and you will get what you deserve.

    You know what, mostly everyone will tell you to do what you love but I'll suggest you to do something which is difficult for you, enthusiastic and even if you like it instead of love then also it will result in complete success and happiness with many achievements in what you think is difficult now and that feeling is very rare and really enjoyable.

    Travel and tourism is a great idea. But remember one thing that the travel and tourism field is a vast dynasty. So, choose your path according to your abilities and interests. Also, location plays an important role in the tourism profile. Throw some light on it and I can guide you better.

    Your Commerce is surely connected with Tourism, as it is commercial first. Consider, your other skills and work on their improvement. You may have to do a lot of explaining. So, brush up your language skills. You need an excess of human understanding.

Heyyy riya
Absolutely! Having a humanities background is no barrier to pursuing Fine Arts at Chandigarh University.

The programme welcomes students from all streams, including humanities, as long as they meet the minimum requirement of 50% marks in their 12th exams. Many humanities students find the programme a natural extension of their academic interests, as the curriculum often connects with cultural, historical, and social themes. For example, a student who studied history might bring unique perspectives into courses like painting or applied arts.

The university values creativity and passion over specific subjects studied in school.
