Deciding ur future

If you are a student who have just finished your o/ls ,you might be wondering what subject stream to do for your A/ls... You might face a bit unsure situation when choosing a subject for your A/Ls. So here are some guidelines to you to make it easier for you.
First of all you should pay more attention in your interested subjects,where you think you are capable of doing. But you can't select a subject stream just because you like it. You have to analise the path and the final satisfaction(job opportunities) before you select a subject.
And you have to find out about the job market and how it will. Change in another 5 to 6 years because You are going to come to the society after about another 6 years.( if you go to a university).
Lets see some examples, think you like geography very much and you select to do it for your a/ls with your other selected arts subjects. So you do it and after you finished your a/ls you'll find a big problem when you are looking for a job because now there aren't much good jobs for geographers.

So before selecting a subject you gotta think about your carrier path too... That will help you to become who you want to be in your future.
These days there are huge job opportunities in IT field, but it might change in another 4 to 5 years, so you better ask from some reputed people in those fields and get in to your final idea......

Hope this helped you a bit in selecting a subject stream for your a/ls, now its up to you to select the best for you... All the best...

Please leave some comment on what you think about this and your opinion...

Selecting IT for higher education??? Then chek this out....

There are only 3 options left to a srilankan student after doing A/Ls, and they are:
1)going to a government university
2)doing a job
3)doing a degree from a private institute

Most of the students will not get a chance to get into a government university, but doing a job without a degree is also not considerable these days so the ultimate option of the most students will be doing a degree in a private institute.

Private higher education institutes in srilanka do not have a good variety of undergraduate degrees, most of the institutes only have degrees related in INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, So the outcome of IT professionals has been increased during last 5 years.

Therefore these days most of the students do not pay much attention on IT field, but as I see IT job market is developing everyday and new technology add more departments to IT field(such as android & i OS) so on my opinion doing IT or computer science is a good option to  school leavers.

On the other hand government has given permission to establish private universities in srilanka so now there are lots of engineering degrees to do(CINEC,ICBT,SLIIT,SAITEM,)
Therefor the number of students who is doing IT has been decreased.and that is a good point to the guys who are doing IT because then the competition in the job market will be reduced.

Under all these circumstances my opinion will be that doing IT is not a problem at all. My advice to young school leavers is that don't be afraid to select IT as your higher education path if you really have a interest in it. GOOD LUCK. ;-)
