Bureaucracy is the driving force of
government machinery. The power and prestige associated with government jobs
exerts tremendous pull even today in India. Professionals from various streams
can find work opportunities in the government sector. The most prestigious is
the Civil Service, which offers autonomy and independence of work with public
recognition that very few other careers can match. Job security, social status
and time-bound promotions are also attractive features of this career. If the
Civil Service is not your idea of an ideal career, the United Nations promises
prestigious positions at the international level. Voluntary agencies, also known
as non-governmental organisations or NGOs, offer exciting career possibilities
for professionals from different fields interested in development work similar
to that done by the governments. The main difference is the non-bureaucratic
atmosphere!
