When i was studying in my engineering first year i wasn't even worried about getting a job,Since i have been in a boarding school from when I was 10 years old this was the first time when someone wouldn't wake me up at 5.That was the biggest boon for me back then.I somehow ended up screwing up my grades in my first year.Then realized (not much though,that i'm lagging).I took a seat in mechanical,then my parents moved me to computer sciences and because of disastrous experiences with computers subjects(My first internal marks were sent to my home,My mom asked me is it a 7 on 10 or 50)I decided to opt for a branch transfer and took Electrical and Electronics despite disapproval from my parents.And yes I did little better and my grades improved.My 3rd year started and all of a sudden everyone is worried about getting a job.I was too..I somehow managed to get two offers by the end of my fourth year.I didn't want to go for IT.So opted for the other one.I didn't have many friends either at the work place.There was nothing to like or dislike in the work I do.I get to hear from all my friends about how much they hate the work they do.I was never interested in Electrical ,infact not even engineering so I never took the pain of going behind something better(like EEE core job for EEE students like wise MECH and ECE).This is the case with many students.Many of them don't know why they are doing engineering so it doesn't matter if they study hard and do a major in Electrical and end up working in IT.(Thanks to outsourcing).I just wonder when people ask me didn't u study electrical why are you working in Software..Well,I don't have an answer.I should keep questioning myself from Why MPC(Maths,Physics,Chemistry..we were supposed to choose Math or Bio in our 11th,12th),Why engineering,Why whatsoever branch..There is no answer for any of these questions then how would i answer why work in IT when you have studied Electrical.Well I don't love my job,I don't hate it either..I would say it's just a way to live..Now many of them would want to do an MBA or go for MS because having that degree pays them better.So basically many of us don't have answers for so many Why's.Because we never had options,we never got to choose something we like in the name of "You don't know anything" said by many of the parent's.You wouldn't see many people who would pursue their career in art,commerce,economics etc..(I meant less in comparision with the rest of the people who choose Engineering or Medicine).So in this regard I think we Indians have long way to go..It's due to their notion that studying in these two fields would get a job and secured career.I think it's time to change and think with a unbiased mind,follow their heart and not mind,do what they love and stop being someone that someone you love wants you to be,stop living upto some one's expectations and live their own life they want it to be.May be things can go wrong,Life isn't perfect ain't it?So a few wrong steps wouldn't leave you in lurch for ever..In fact hard times actually make you a better person.I don't think it isn't too late even now,so I would just follow my heart and do what i want in my life..This is something I have decided no matter how consequences would be I would just face and live my life the way I want it..I can't get more sick of life..22 years of it is enough!!!I wouldn't ever wonder ahead in my life why have I done that,I want to have answers for everything I do and every step i take from now on in my life..
