Ethical
Hacking
For all those who hack friends’ social networking accounts
for “fun”, for those who are good at cracking passwords and unlocking a locked
system, those who spend a majority of their time experimenting with various
codes – this is a great way to put those grey cells to a good use. You can
breach the security of computer systems and get paid for it!

security purposes. You need to have a good knowledge of coding in different
programming languages. You can start your career by interning for an
organization and then convert it to a permanent job. The average salary ranges
between Rs.2-5 lakhs for a fresher, and after an experience of five to six
years, you can easily command a salary of Rs. 10-12 lakhs annually, depending

Become
self-employed
Sometimes you need to think outside the box a little. If
you’re struggling to find your dream job why not create it yourself by setting
up your own company? Perhaps you have a great business idea or believe that
your final-year project has commercial potential. If so, putting your
entrepreneurial skills to the test could be a smart move.
Career services at many universities can help you to turn
your idea into a reality. The advantages to self-employment can include:
independence and autonomy – to make your own decisions
control – over who you work with and the type of work you do
freedom – to work when you like on projects that make your heart
sing
flexibility – to fit work commitments in with family and
other interests
opportunities – to build a portfolio of activities funded by
different sources and to respond to ideas and proposals as you see fit
recognition – you’re able to take the credit for everything
that you do, create, design or invent.
However, you need to be sure that self-employment is right
for you. Being your own boss might sound like fun but as the owner of a
business you’ll need to juggle a number of responsibilities such as providing a
service, marketing the business and financial and staff management. You’ll also
have to work to bring in customers and deal with the uncertainty surrounding
the availability of work. Self-employment can also affect your home life when
the boundaries between work and leisure become blurred.
