Bangalore: Your elders might have suggested that you can have a good future in your professional life only when you have completed higher education with a good ranking. But as the world has become highly competitive, the recruiters are now looking for smart employees than the candidates who are double graduates but lack enough smartness.

The long period of four years for completing an engineering degree or a five-year course to get a medical degree has turned out to be a big question as the large number of graduates coming out of colleges every year find it very hard to get a job immediately after completing their studies and are forced to bear the burden of student loans. It is the same situation with other higher studies like MBA, law or higher studies in abroad.

The time has changed and this problem can be resolved for some extent, as the importance for a college degree is not getting much of importance at present. Currently, recruiters are looking for candidates with specific training and actual experience. These hirers are more attracted towards candidates who have done a 2 year short-term course in a specific subject rather than 4 to 5 years of college degree. Here is a list of good careers mentioned in the Gradversity website, which can make you think before taking up years long higher studies.
