I came from a school which gave me excellent exposure to writing and theatre, and my (accomplished) English and Drama teachers also recommended my joining a creative field, but I refused as I was good in science and I wanted to do something more 'substantial'. What I discovered instead was that engineering is not my cup of tea after all and now I'm back to wondering why I collected those degrees. In this case, it is not my education's fault, it is my own decision that was wrong. And I think this is part of life for many people - not just in India but abroad too. It's just that in India you feel more guilty about it as good-quality higher education is a luxury. (Though what we call "good-quality" is only good in the relative sense!)Funny Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15416042841919164217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049464200235252140.post-50054058331559939432012-03-18T16:31:16.411+05:302012-03-18T16:31:16.411+05:30I have heard about many IITians doing same as you....I have heard about many IITians doing same as you.

Lots of people from BITS(my clg) who come here for Dual Engg + Sci, discover their interest in science, and drop the engineering part. They get similar trtmt. its all upto you. You didnt waste a seat, they wasted the opportunity they got of a student. You just filled an additional seat.Rohan Shankarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803350098674198195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049464200235252140.post-41141786617772423382012-03-16T10:48:30.056+05:302012-03-16T10:48:30.056+05:30People / Parents should also understand that its n...People / Parents should also understand that its not that one profession is better than another with respect to monetary benefit, but money is the by product of passionate work.<br /><br />So if you are following your passion , satisfaction is guaranteed but money also follows because of the fact that your work is 'quality' work and its providing some 'value' to one facet of the society, be it in the field of art, literature, science or philosophy.Rohithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535233357792380399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049464200235252140.post-33266538364551027482012-03-16T03:56:00.351+05:302012-03-16T03:56:00.351+05:30Being a student of engineering, I totally agree to...Being a student of engineering, I totally agree to all the things stated by you :) But what I really feel is that, these four years are the ones in which a person realizes his worth, interests and capabilities. Giving JEE, being selected to study in country's best institute are mere obligations. At the age of 17 or 18, no one is so much mature as to decide what he/she wants in life. Its just peer pressure and competition which leads one's path at that age. These four years make u grow, learn and realize ! :) That's it! You write too good. I always wait to hear more from u. :) <br />Regards,<br />Shikhashikhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937007764087040191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049464200235252140.post-41520772604684362102012-03-15T22:34:11.079+05:302012-03-15T22:34:11.079+05:30Loved it..its neat .. and it reminds me of some fa...Loved it..its neat .. and it reminds me of some famous Indian AuthorThe Solitary Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15512100204698797001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049464200235252140.post-88129562529239050762012-03-15T20:00:14.318+05:302012-03-15T20:00:14.318+05:30well dat one was azmng..
