Engineering aka Unemployment

Not sure where I read this question. You’re in need of a driver, two guys approaches. One having a driving license but doesn't knows how to drive. The other not having a driving license but knows how to drive. Who will you hire?

Isn't the answer obvious? The same happens in our country today. Everyone can get an engineering degree, but only few of us have the ability to land a job. There is an uncountable number of engineering colleges gives out millions of engineers every year. Does everyone get a job? Or a job related to their field? No. Only passionate engineers are making to it. Reason, the spoon-feeding methodology is still happening in many of those colleges. Their only aim is to make every students pass the exams. Once passing out the college, the students become clueless of what next. Talented gets a job. Those who are afraid of job searching go for a post-graduation and postpone job searching for 2 years. Once out from there, the search begins and as a result of failure, they join some engineering college; works hopelessly; eventually producing the “engineers” like them; completes the cycle.

And those who are destined to hunt a job, they suffer, struggle and end up working in a start up with low wages. Some are still searching. Engineering had become a fantasy among our society. Many of us are blindly joins because they’ve informed that an engineer can earn a lot. It’s true, but only a true engineer can. And the parents in India, who are still deciding what their son/daughter should become, just give them a break. Let them chase their dream.

And Fellow Engineers, if someone asks for career advice to you, here is a stat I’ve experienced. On a freelancing website a project is posted for a fixed cost of $7, just $7 and do you know the number of applicants just after 2 minutes from posting? It’s 64 and 53 are from India.Now you know what to advise them.

Peace Out..!!
