Before you make an investment in your future – it could be an investment of time, money or effort – you need to know that it will pay off. In many fields, evaluating the quality of an investment is not an easy task. However, in the case of a graduate degree abroad, it is much easier – all one needs to do is look at the demand market for qualified, skilled professionals in any field in the world.

Every indicator of demand for these professionals says the same things: there is a very high demand even now, the perks of these careers are great, and the demand will keep growing for the foreseeable future. The year on year growth rate of this job market will outstrip the GDP of most countries.

Here’s our latest Jamboree in depth feature, on the job market for foreign graduates – where we seek to show why it is so fundamentally strong, and growing in the right direction:

India’s economy is growing quickly, and will pick up a further head of steamstudy-abroad

 

From all the latest projections of India’s economic future that have been doing the rounds in budget season, we are likely to be back to a 7-8% GDP growth rate very soon, and there are even rumours of a double digit growth rate some time in the near future. Many analysts are confident that India will enter a long, stable period of prosperity comparable to that of China a couple of decades ago, and that we will use this to create jobs, innovate and manufacture.

We are largely insulated from market corrections

Even after the big crash of 2008, India was probably one of the economies that emerged best out of the meltdown – with responsible fiscal policies and cool headed fiscal leadership keeping us safe. Our conservative financial approaches going forward will likely mean that we will maintain our growth rate, and that the risk for becoming the world’s largest economy is low.

There will always be a vacuum at the top of any field

In India, there has always been a (largely unfulfilled) demand for really good experts. Whether you’re a Computer Scientist, a Mechanical Engineer, a Creative Writer, a Social Scientist, an Economics Specialist or an Agriculture Major, if you know your stuff, you can change the face of our country.

Not too long ago, there was a new discipline called Computer Science that a few universities in the US started offering.
