Career planning

I have failed many times in trying to get something like this moving. Lets see if I can make it work this way. Please help me put together a database of information that I can use to help children who are planning their careers. It can do a world of good to someone. It doesnt matter what career path you have chosen, you may write about some path that you simply know of.
Students in rural areas just jump to the most popular fields and then repent, get disillusioned and waste their lives away in fields that they never wanted to be in. So this information could help them a lot.

You may fill this out and mail it to me at ruling(dot)world(at)gmail(dot)com or simply copy-paste it out in the comment form here.

Name of Career path:

Was the same chosen by you (or are you writing about something that you simply know of):
Description:
  • what does the student study ( a short list/description of subjects and the courses that colleges offer for this.)
  • how this education equips them to work
  • what a real job in this field involves
  • what one should already have studied in order to take courses to follow this path. (eg. Biology in +2 is essential for a career in medicine etc.)
  • what are the opportunities in this field (if possible supported by statistics from good sources)
  • what would the monetary benefits, lifestyle be like etc. (We include this information in order to help students visualize well and not to mislead them. This is only to tell students what they should expect – long hours, night shifts, patience! or hard work!! etc.)

Colleges that offer this course:
How to apply to them: Entrance examinations, admission procedures, when to apply etc.
Advantages of this career path:
What kind of people it would suit: As in, excellent Math ability, or artistic bend of mind etc (This was just for the sake of an example J )
Any other information that you would like to provide:

Your name:
Occupation:

Organisation(Optional):
Location(Optional):
