what brings me to this thought is a question. What kind of engineers do we really need? Job seekers or job generators?

An engineer is one who knows how to chew his food. on the other hand, an entrepreneur is one who tends to bite a little bit more than he can actually chew hoping that he will soon learn how to chew it. In the binary age of today, when the world dances on the 1′s and the 0′s, Indian education system is still limited to decimal CGPAs. The harebrained swallows every fact and mechanism and pukes in the placement cell. In the process, education loses its grace and takes the backseat. The system has grown futile with the rising employment seekers. The job generators are an endangered species.

What do you think is the reason behind MIT, Harvard giving one of the greatest minds to the world and our IITs, NITs, BITS or Thapar not. The reason being one.In our technology schools students learn to work harder than anyone else to get an awesome job. At Harvard they learn not to get a job, but to invent one.

India with its ever rising population, inflation in double figures and poverty can’t afford more of job seekers. Even our intellectual policy makers in their infinite wisdom ( worth Rs. 32)  could not generate jobs.and we have more jobless graduates and poor lifting the bar on statistics. We need innovations.

In times of today, in accordance with the words of Professor Veerushastrabudhhi.  Life is a race. As sweet is the humor behind this line, bitter is the truth.What if you get in a reputed company say Oracle or Microsoft. You get a monthly a assignment to develop a software. All you would be doing is developing it and submitting it as a job assigned. Now, what happened here actually was that your skill was exploited and you were paid peanuts. But if somehow you possessed the entrepreneurial skills, you would have developed the same software, excelled in its mechanism and would have got down in the market against the giants to make your mark. Being engineers, some of you might be earning in millions and others, though a comparatively smaller lot may be signing your paychecks(yes, you can be better a better CEO).

It is not everyone’s cup of tea to be an entrepreneur. But those who have the charisma to turn out, fly like eagles in the sky. As an aftermath, government would be relishing the stupendous growth in taxpayers, people of country would be relishing on rapid growth in vacancies and every extra zero adding to your bank balance would serve as a pearl to your throne. Everyone walks the crust of the same earth. But only a few leave a trail behind. Be the one!
