Tech
month: Games development
From primitive beginnings like Dig Dug, Alleycat and Pac Man,
today's gaming industry rakes in an average of US$10billion
a year. So if you want to ride the IT wave, this is probably
the surf to catch.
Game
development companies can be huge (think of the amount of work
required to develop games like Tomb Raider Legend, Final Fantasy
and Grand Turismo). But, you'll also be surprised that many
game development companies operate with one to two people to
create web-based games from Flash and mobile phone games.
How
do you become a games developer? Game developers are also
known simply as "software developers" and you can become
one by doing courses that provide a good curriculum in character
animation, bone/biped animation, 3D modelling and texturing and
teaches Java programming. Such courses may include computer science
and multimedia, or variations of these courses.

What
profession lets you sell drugs sans the violence and the life
in hiding from authorities?
A
pharmacist! While an illegal drug dealer makes better story
for Hollywood (and Bollywood!) action-packed movies, pharmacists
serve society by helping people choose the right medications,
ointments and such. But gone are the days where pharmacists
spend their days behind a counter in a pharmacy, that's why
it is my job pick of the month.
Pharmacist
Part of your daily job would be to supply and dispense drugs,
but more importantly, advice on their appropriate use. Your
customers depend of you to help them find the appropriate medications,
ointments and such.
You
conduct research into the formulation, production, storage,
quality control and distribution of medicines and drugs. Read
more.

In
the previous months and on the website, we've highlighted various
pre-university options after you've finished your SPM. Each option
has its pro and cons, so find out about each one before you decide.
Some
considerations:
Structure of course - some are exam-oriented while others
are base hugely on coursework. Choose the one that works best
for you.
Target
university - some are accepted widely while others prepare
you for specific universities. Know where you want to go.
Target
career - some are academic while others are vocational ie
prepares you for work. Opt for courses that can get you to your
dream job.
Costs
- some are expensive while some are virtually free. Go with
the one you can afford.

This
is a special avenue provided on doctorjob.com.my for students
to pose their questions on courses and careers. Here's my pick
for the question of the month.
Ambassador
by lyn
my ambition is to become an ambassador of Malaysia. pls advise
what course should i take and which local colleges or universities
offer this program.
Reply from doctorjob
To become an ambassador for Malaysia, you need to be a reputable
and highly respected individual in society such as a politician,
doctor, lawyer, scientist, social psychologist etc or someone
who has achieved great things for the country. As an ambassador,
knowledge of foreign languages, economic and political situations
will be advantageous. Apart from the above route, you can also
begin your career in the foreign service by studying political
science and becoming an attaché to the ambassador and work
your way up. However, people are rarely appointed ambassadors
if they do not have a distinguished background and various achievements.
