• How to choose what you are looking to do?

On the one hand, the suggestion is by looking at what is a marketable period to go into, what are the demand and the opportunity for local graduates to choose? On the other hand, if you asked people who were in thirties, forties and fifties to set a clock back 20 years ago and asked them if they would have chosen what they were doing then, the answer will be “No”.
