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.

    3. PMP.
    Careers in investment banks are very fruitful and high paying with exponential learning.

    Hi Anjali,

    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.
