Very old topic which we can debate forever.Well I often think of my education and my job. I know it breaks my heart when ever i compare myself,my job and so many other things with others. If you ask me if I am happy with my job. probably i will keep quiet, I am not happy and I do crib. I admit it. Not a sin. While chit chatting with other friends I get to know 70% of them are not happy with their job. Recently I got to learn that most of the people leave their job or make a move because of their bosses...according to them, the bosses really make their lives hell. I have heard my friends saying that he had shifted because of a bad boss and some really dont want to shift because they are blessed with a good boss. Yes salary and growth matter too.
Anyways I have been thinking of my being educated, through out a good student, kind of 'topper' - did it help me getting a job?The answer is no. Well I belong to a family where education pays a very important role and since my childhood I have been knowing that kids have to only think about studies ( Read a BOOK WORM) and nothing else. Even when a kid becomes young adult that person is only supposed to study - no poetry, no story books.no movies and playing around is NO NO. The trend these days is to enroll own self in an MBA inst. and then an assured job but trust me its such a wrong conception. Yes being in the top B Schools help but not beyond that. One has to be capable enough and I can say being the topper and being a studious Good Girl / Boy doesnt help much. I have people around who are dumb, slow, who failed to clear their exams and they are doing well in their career, they are earning double than the topper is earning and the good, studious,obedient topper is still struggling in some corner. So what the education is doing? Why do we all study? Is it only to gain knowledge?or to earn our lively hood? I believe its more to earn our bread and butter than gathering knowledge. Knowledge we cab gather anyways by reading - for that we actually dont need to sit for exams and enroll our selves anywhere. This world is so full of mediocre people that even the better people feel de motivated. Its the best to be just good to compete with average mass. Its frustrating when you are better and just average good mass fail to appreciate you. Being very practical, I dont think one has to be really good,obediant,studious and meritorious to bag and continue with a good job, you may ask me is money everything. Well money is not everything but without money its nothing. Money cant buy happiness but money can play an important role to make us happy. Only education doesnt make us earn but its the ability of going beyond, doing something extra makes the difference.
When I think and look back I ask myself what did I achieve being a good student? My parents, my family and neighbour are proud of the medals and certificates but I am not happy with my job. I still have to think 100 times before pampering myself or buy something extra for myself or go beyond my basic need. Just to earn the basics does one need to have a tag called MBA or post graduate? or through out first class? Even a 10th pass person can earn the basic.
Its important to live and let live. We can live only when our hunger is satisfied - our needs are fulfilled and trust me in today's world we need a fat wallet for that and not piles of certificated, medals. When we our selves are not happy, satisfied we feel irritated and we satisfy our selves by irritating others around us.
So moral of my thought is I still question about education after an extent. I do question the quality of the education as well. I am not disagreeing with the fact that one has to be educated ( learned) to be a good human being, aware, gentleman kind but is actually education helping us being a responsible citizen? I doubt.

in today's world, its very much obvious that education is'nt directly proportional to a 'satisfying career'....there are lot of x-factors associated with it...
& being studious all the time in student life make it worse, cause when someone is congratulated for being a book-worm in school, he/she starts to ignore the other fields related to his/her life, to concentrate more on his study....his/her mindset become textbook-dependent & stiff in a way...
& when that kid enters in the professional arena, scenario gets changed, cause there the happenings are very much deals in alternative ways than the ones shown in the textbook (in fact, 'alternates' are ruling so much now, that the methodical ones are pushed to 'minority's place').....
the moral is
" being qualified = being educated (optional) + expertise in 'dhandabaji' (compulsory) "
Full marks for this post babes!!!!......I guess there's a difference between getting a degree and getting wisdom...and I guess there lies the difference.........i hated going to school...it has made me what I am today...."Anyways I have been thinking of my being educated, through out a good student, kind of 'topper' - did it help me getting a job?The answer is no."....bye the way...getting a job is not the factor...the work that makes you feel good and fulfilled is all that matters.....bye the way...have you thought of "writing" as a career...well that will be my dream job ;)....and your friend said very well about the compulsory paper....in fact once my Italian mam had asked me before my final university exams...how's your preparation for the 9th paper...we didn't have any 9th paper...hope you can guess the meaning what the 9th paper stands for...:)
Hmmm ... so we have 2 potential writers amongst us
