Shore way to a bright
future
The high seas
harbour a host of job opportunities for those driven by wanderlust and
the desire for a life away from the humdrum. While the Merchant Navy and
the Indian Navy are the conventional options, cruise liners too recruit
a lot of people the year round, especially from the hospitality
industry, writes Biswajeeban Sharma
WHAT
if you had the opportunity to embark on a trip around the world and get
paid for doing it? What if your place of work is not a dingy workstation
in a block of concrete but a floating sun-drenched five-star hotel
heading for Alaska or Bermuda? And as you sail you explore the secluded
beaches of Seychelles and saunter through the streets of Casablanca. |

A
sea of opportunities
FOR those who are looking for
something more durable than a career on a cruise liner, harbouring
expectations of salaries as high as the ship’s mast, and love the
idea of travelling around the world on company expense, Merchant Navy
has a lot to offer.
COURSE CHAT
Fly high over
the seas
IF you keep yearning
for azure skies, if you keep dreaming of Sea Harriers, choppy waters,
enemy submarines and destroyers on the roll, if you keep playing war
games in your mind — stalking the skies for prey — you might be
cut out for a career as a naval pilot.

An option for
the animated
Behind the web of
magic in the latest Spiderman 2 flick or the delightful antics
of toon characters on the tube is the touch of animation artists. With
computer-aided animation being among the fastest growing fields
worldwide, nearly 3 lakh animators are expected to be employed in this
industry by 2008, writes Manish
Kumar Singal
HAVE
you ever wondered how your favourite Tom and Jerry show, or the Walt
Disney characters would seem if there was no animation? Certainly,
they would not be half as adorable or entertaining if animation
artists had not put life into them.
