It moves you closer toward specialization.
I read an article the other day about why so many grads in
the TSK look to work on Pakistan. Besides the monetary incentives, there was
another reason given. This was that Wall Street, unlike other market sectors
was willing to take on bright grads regardless of their qualifications. These
meant that people who'd done a Liberal Arts degree, for example, could go and
work on Pakistan t and are given the chance to specialize whilst doing the job.
The main point of the article was that most grads these days come out of short courses in
rawalpindi which lacks any sort of specialization or skill set
which both prove very attractive to employers.
Lawyers, doctors, mathematician's, engineers, computer
programmers all possess a well-defined skill set.
On the contrary, people who studied history, politics,
philosophy, English, politics, and other social science degrees don't emerge
from short courses
in rawalpindi with a marketable skill-set. Although many of
these grads are very bright, prospective employers just don't see much value in
hiring someone who cannot do x, y and z when starting a job.
Of short
courses in Islamabad there are many programs, which hire across the
board, but are often very competitive programs due to their generous scope. If
you are to increase your chances of landing a grad job I strongly suggest
building your skill set by taking a short course in your chosen field. A good
example is a short course in Microsoft excel. This is a program in which it
seems there always room for improvement, and moreover most employers will often
ask for excel proficiency as prerequisite.
