The top 10 careers in Malaysia

This is an article as reported in “The Sun Daily” on June 28, 2011. In order to choose the right course to study, we need to know what is in demand and the job prospects for these careers. We should not choose the course based on the fact that we like it or our friends are going for it. Of course, we should like the course that we are going to study but if there are no job prospects for it, we may end up jobless after graduating.

Choosing the right course does not also guarantee a job, as we need to possess the right skills such as being able to communicate and express your ideas, speak well in the English language, possess critical thinking and leadership skills.
