Divya SainiWondering what to do after completing a degree programme in commerce? Well, the stream opens up a wide range of exciting career paths in the current scenario. While traditional fields like accounting, finance, and business management remain popular options, there are several emerging and non-traditional career paths that can be pursued after completing commerce. Here are a few exciting options:
1. Data Analytics: With the increasing importance of data in decision-making, organisations are looking for professionals with a background in commerce and are experts in data crunching. Thus, a career in data analytics can be highly rewarding. You can work with multiple data, perform data analysis, and provide valuable insights to businesses.
2. Digital Marketing: The rise of the internet and social media has led to a growing demand for digital marketing professionals. In addition to your commerce degree, you can also specialise in areas such as search engine optimisation (SEO), social media marketing, content marketing, and online advertising.
3. Entrepreneurship: If you have a knack for innovation and a desire to start your own business, entrepreneurship can be a fulfilling career path. You can identify opportunities, develop business plans, and work on bringing your ideas to life.
According to Prachi Khera, Co-founder of Kihanna Jewellery and an alumna of Apeejay Institute of Management & Engineering Technical Campus, “Entrepreneurship in the diamond jewellery business requires a unique combination of creativity and business acumen. It involves designing exquisite pieces and sourcing high-quality gems, while also staying updated on market trends and customer preferences. Success in this industry depends on establishing a reputation for craftsmanship, innovation, and exceptional customer service. Adaptability and resilience are crucial qualities to thrive in this highly competitive field.”
4. E-commerce: With the growth of online shopping, there are numerous opportunities for commerce students in the field of e-commerce. You can work in areas such as online retail management, supply chain management, logistics, or even start your own e-commerce venture.
5. Human Resources (HR): If you wish to become an HR professional, you can do so with your expertise in the commerce field. It will be an added advantage if aspirants also learn about human psychology as a career in HR involves managing and developing the human capital of organisations. You can work in areas like recruitment, training and development, employee relations, and organisational development.
6. Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): With increasing awareness of environmental and social issues, careers in executing CSR activities are gaining prominence. You can work on implementing sustainable practices within organisations or develop CSR strategies to positively impact society.
Simran Bawa, a final year student pursuing Bachelor of Arts with electives English, Psychology and Economics at Apeejay College of Fine Arts shares, “I believe that sustainability and corporate social responsibility are crucial aspects of businesses today. With the growing awareness of environmental and social issues, it is essential for organisations to take responsibility for their impact on the planet and society. Implementing sustainable practices within organisations not only helps in reducing their carbon footprint but also improves their efficiency and long-term viability.”
7. Financial Planning and Wealth Management: If you have a strong understanding of finance and enjoy working with individuals, a career in financial planning and wealth management can be rewarding. You can help individuals and families manage their finances, investments, and plan for their future.
Remember, these are just a few examples, and there are many more exciting career paths available. It’s important to explore your interests, skills, and values to find a career that aligns with your passions and goals.
