Way you are bound to drown

There is a common myth among students. I thought it's just familiar to students. But this is a myth which has wide spread among many people of different categories. Even educated also have been a prey to this. Yes! This is almost familiar with everyone!!

"ENGINEERING"

This is not the thing which everyone falls for but for the lie that after completing engineering, students are almost going to be unemployed or they are going to work on non-core. Do you believe this? As an engineer, I thought it's time to break this myth with those unspoken truths. 

Being graduated as a mechanical engineer, I was found lucky to have the dream job of me - Design Engineer at a reputable organization. But the real truth is I am also the one who certainly fell to those myths in my final year of college. The self-belief and motivation I had at my initial days have been ruled out and destroyed by the energies of people around me. I started believing it's hard to find the right job. But that's not true. As soon as I came out of that cat race among those, I started analyzing what destroyed my belief, what made me get my dream job and what hinders others from that.

Still, I can see many of my friends, close friends searching for a job everywhere, site to site, person to person, whatever and wherever they see. Even though they attend interviews they are casually rejected. Why this is so?

Do engineering lost its scope? Whether the world needs no more engineers? Is engineering a piece of shit? Err., No!.

To be true, Engineers are not those people, who join engineering and get that degree after 4 years. Engineers are those who with passion and love for knowledge to create, invent and modify things for the betterment of others. Yes, the interest and knowledge they possess make them the good engineers.

In the current scenario, the number of colleges and the students at engineering has raised, but the quality has not. We are moving towards marks instead of knowledge. Most of the colleges are preferably concentrating students to get high marks and pass percentages instead of measuring what knowledge they acquired. In many institutes, the quality of teaching is also very poor.

So, this engineering is currently a place of garbages, a stinky one. But there are also mines in those garbages. They have laid a way to follow. But it's not mandatory that you should approach the education in the same way they approach. 

 It depends on you, whether you move out with mines from those garbages or just get off from those stinky ones or fall permanently in those garbages. Every year there is a minimum of 70% placements at IIT's and the students placed has a minimum salary package of 6 L.P.A.  If they can, why not we? We are blessed with the same commonly. It only depends on your hard work. 

So wake up. Don't blame engineering. Don't drown by the way they bound. Be passionate to learn, explore and innovate. Get up, ask, read and understand. Your mines are in your hands. All the best.
