CAREER TALK

I have heard about volcanology. Please tell me more about it and its scope in India.

I am a mechanical engineer by profession. At present I am working with a reputed company in the production department. I have been advised by colleagues to shift to the sales department. Please advise me of the pros and cons if I do so.

Marketing and sales is one of the key functional areas in management. The main responsibility of a sales job is finding and dealing with customers for a particular product or service. An engineer's technical knowledge and skills can help convince prospective customers particularly useful for companies marketing industrial or engineering goods or services.

Moreover a professional with two complimentary specialisations has a better market value than those with single area specialisation. So do go ahead and shift to the sales department.

Volcanology is not offered by any university in India, but you can go abroad and take up this course.
