Hello,

It's true that today a degree won't be suffice for career advancement, there are other things also which are required such as developing soft skills, you can explore your interests by doing courses through MOOCs if you feel that's relevant to your area of job profile that you wish to explore, you can do internships as this will also give you a more clarity on what kind of job roles you enjoy, maintain a profile that also goes beyond academic, and I'm not talking only in terms of extra-curricular activities but even volunteering for certain causes that close to your heart, for example education if you wish to reach out to needy people and help them, you can teach them, and today with digital reach things too are quite different, basically diversity is the key here, you have to go beyond your academics, develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills etc as these won't just help you in corporate world in future, but it becomes an intrinsic part of one's personality, and now company do look beyond academics, hence the emphasis is so much more on developing soft skills, you can also follow people in the field that you want to be a part of, being well-read also helps a lot, as the world is changing at such a fast pace, be updated with the latest information.
