In addition ,getting associated with the education sector has not only helped me in getting refreshed about Marketing but has also broaden my view or let me put it like that it has given me an ariel view about the subject,in particular in terms of strategy and objective setting and finally market plan and execution, my current degree of Mphil in Management has further complimented this and has added another dimension of Management, I foresee myself as a Marketing Consultant from the Organizational perspective and as academician from the perspective of education sector, I think its a unique blend in terms of the ability of managing two sectors while keeping my core that is marketing constant and further advancing in this area.
