10. Buy property around the world

Market is slowed down. Many people are investing different fields. Realestate is one of them. Due to the flactuations in market, people are not much interested in share market. Therefore it’s really a good time to buy property overseas since prices in most of these markets are even cheaper than in some top Indian cities. The demand is more in Dubai, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Australia and London. There are plenty of projects in Dubai which are selling at a price band of Rs 2,500-5,000 per sq.ft. Land in the UK countryside as in Cheshire is being sold for Rs 1,100 per sq.ft., while that in Helsby at just Rs 370 per sq.ft. By comparison, prices in some major Indian realty hotspots are equally competitive - flats in Gurgaon are priced at Rs 3,000-5,000 per sq.ft, in Kolkata’s Rajarhat at Rs 2,800-3,500 per sq.ft. and Navi Mumbai between Rs 1,800 and Rs 6,000 per sq.ft. In the US, home prices have reportedly fallen in nine out of ten cities. Brokers claim realty prices in cities like Fort Myers , Saginaw, Akron, San Francisco, Riverside and San Jose have dropped by more than 40%. What’s more, nearly 40-odd islands are up for sale in Australia at three year old prices - one can grab an island for A$ 1.3 million.

9. What after 12th ( IV ) Commerce ?

Next to science, commerce stream opens up a variety of options after 10 + 2 stage. These days after commerce is being opted by the students like hot cake. market slowdown is the major reason for this. many of my students are opting commerce. One thing more, commerce study does't require as much money as science subject. Some examples are: company secretary-ship, chartered accountancy, cost accountancy, business management, computer. Although chartered accountancy, cost accountancy or company secretary-ship course can be taken up after 10 + 2 (after successfully completing the Foundation Courses) you should be aware that each year only a small percentage of those who take the examinations get through. It may, therefore, be wise to obtain the basic BCom degree first. BCom with Computer as one of the combinations is now a much sought after course. In all the three streams, students can now opt for job-oriented vocational subjects at the first degree level available in selected colleges affiliated to many universities. Another recent development has been the diversification of courses, professional in nature, at the first-degree level itself, although the number is institutions offering such course is still small. International postgraduate programmes of five-year duration after 10 + 2 in several subjects are being introduced by some universities. Whatever stream you may select, you should put in your best efforts, which would surely lead to the path of success. Obtaining high marks in the qualifying examinations will put you in a comparatively better position to get into the course of choice after the 10 + 2 level.
