Before money came into existence, or even the idea of it, people used to trade goods for other goods or services, also known as the barter system.  For example: 3 sheep for a cow was commonly traded.  It wasn’t just livestock that was used in bartering, people have used rice, gold, silver, copper, precious stones, seashells and even bat guano(shit).  The first traces money is recorded back to 12,000 years ago, by the Chinese who used copper or bronze coins for trading.  Moreover, it was in China that the first traces of paper money can be found being used.  It took over 500 years for the Europeans to adopt the Chinese way of exchanging goods/services by using paper currency.  

As long as human beings have existed some kind of financial transaction method has also existed simultaneously, whether it was cows, stones, metals or the presently used paper money.   So it is not surprising that many young graduates seek out positions in the banking sector to secure their future.  However, with a sizeable population all competing for the same jobs, it is a highly competitive field, one that rewards only the most determined.  Getting a job in a government bank, which is the most secure position you can hold in your career, requires you to firstly pass the government banking exams, which are tough and require hours of sincere studying.  However, it is not something an aspiring young graduate needs to face alone as there are many coaching classes available throughout the city, whose only aim is to help you pass your exam so that you can begin the next step of appearing for your interview in the bank of your choice.  

This next step can feel even more gruesome as the interview is one of the toughest to pass.  However, here again, young graduates are not left alone, as the instructors of the coaching classes, will also help you in preparing for the interviews and equip you tips and tricks to passing the interview so that you can finally sit in the job of your choice and in the bank of your choice.  So, as mentioned earlier, only the most determined and ambitious of individuals will make the cut in this highly tough field, which is also the most secure career to step into, since money has existed since the dawn of mankind.

Every corner of the world contains people who speak different languages, follow different customs, dress differently etc.  Every corner of my world contains people who all specialize in different languages.  These people in my life are not from different parts of the globe, but rather they all belong to the IT field and have done their education in computer science.  The languages each of these individuals in my life, chose varies from Java, PHP, dot net, C++ etc.  What makes a person choose one language over the other is simply a personal preference, just like when you decide to learn a new hobby.  Some may have an interest in learning the guitar and another in learning to bake. The same can be said for the programming language people choose to start with.  

My husband has told me stories, of how he used to spend his nights in the computer lab in his college, sometimes with his bed sheet and carry his toothbrush, comb etc. in his backpack. It cannot be a mistake that one of the most popular programming languages is called Java, which is the same for coffee. Those nights spent staying up late in front of your machine finishing your coding assignment in Java with a cup of Java in your hand.   Every computer science student has a similar memory that is filled with late nights in the lab with friends, food and of course coding.  But these are the memories with which we look back upon and smile.  While, the journey of earning your degree can be difficult with exams, assignments, professors, friendships and pressures of getting a job, it is all these things, which make us look back upon these moments with a smile on our face.  

I’ve asked my friends and family why they chose Java over .net, for example, and each one had the same answer, which was, it was easy. So, it cannot be said one language is definitely easier than another, but for some reason, it is easy for that individual.  So exploring each one of the many languages while earning your degree, will help you decide which direction to focus career in.  The experience of building your expertise will only come with the experience you develop from your job as a programmer.  But you can also develop your knowledge and expand your skills by joining a specialization course from an institute that offers the language course of your choice such as Java, C++ or .net for example.  Add more memories to your life and join your specialization course, where you will make even more friends and create new memories which you will look back upon later in life and smile over.

We’ve all sat there during our college days when past students, the alumni, came and shared their stories with us of their college days and how their education at that particular institute helped shape the person they became.  They probably even mentioned the professors who encouraged them to be more than their best, which became one of the reasons for their present day success.  But imagine if you in the future went back to your college, as somebody famous or were part of something that everybody knew about and shared your story of your path to success?  Can you imagine how enraptured the students would be of your story and the kind of motivation you would bring to them to follow in similar footsteps? 

Almost everybody in India is aware of the recent blockbuster Baahubali and has witnessed the magic of the story, the acting, and the amazing visual effects and animations.  As young adults wondering what career path to choose or the perfect college for you, an offbeat career in the growing field of animation and VFX, could hold the keys to the your success and happiness.  Reliance Education, which proudly produced 4 students who went on to work on the recent blockbuster, Baahubali, were part of the magic of the second and final concluding part of this movie franchise.  By enrolling in their VFX and animation short term and long term diploma programs, you can equip yourself with skills for the software used in the industry such as, Nuke, Mari, Modo, the only certified center for these tools.  

So instead of doing the regular engineering, lawyer or doctor programs, join Reliance and start your career in animations or VFX and have a more successful and rewarding career than your collegemates/schoolmates.  Be a part of something magical and come back to share with students your unique journey in the field of animation/VFX.
