Professsional Viability

right now there are about a zillion students passing out as engineers, there are more who are regular bachelors, masters..that too in various fields.

and most of the insittutes are least equipped with new technologies, and even if they do, the faculty is not interested in being in touch with the latest in technologies, business trends....basically what the industry needs....

so that results in you learning A while the industry needs B.

then comes the point of what you can excel at, you can't tell that but teachers who can, are not in a place to do that, because what they know of the real world is as old as the date they started teaching from. (excluding a very few who take the pain)

the other people who can do that are Alumni, but sadly our Alumni network is as good as dead....

so with a few students there at campus, who are dilligent we are coming up with A.S.K Alumni...i'll keep this under wraps until its done.

cause if those who are supposed to work don't, the ones who can have to act...

WHY DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO ?

whenever you think about your career, a certain uncertainity comes to your mind, about how your stuck where you are and what can you do about it....and whenever that happens we do three things

1. forget the thought and move ahead, worryless!
2. worry and worry, think deepley about it...
3. doing something about it.

now, the point is that what exactly you can do without any guidance? well, think of a career path like a wide river....your ability to affect life is like two shafts on both sides of the river, you can't stop the river from flowing, but you can change the path of its flow.

so take the steps you feel are right and believe me you'll never regret that decision.

and well about intution, start believing it...its the best thing you have.

no jobs

Now the so called recession is have said to hit us, but logically everyone who has some certain skill set and the ability to go out independent has nothing to worry about.

for e.g. if you were the one who lived through his/her degree thinking that you'll finally get placed, then you're in trouble...

but if you have some skill, at least one skill, say you can develop a website then you're safe...why?

let me explain...

who has to worry about regular money flowing in?
some who has expenses, and not normal expenses but liabilities to pay off....who is that ?

that are big companies, huge companies, who have salaries to pay, bills to pay, ad campaigns to maintain and lot of other expenses.

so there are not jobs there anymore, or lesser jobs at big places.

now think about the smaller guys, and i am talking really small here, small firms, with 10-100 people, but good firms.
they are getting all the business, why because everyone is looking for a cheaper option, the basic example is Times of India who for its recent campaign went to a smaller ad agency rather than their regular biggies (JWT).

so the point is, plus with the high court's decision that placements will take place in your 4th year, you have good enough time to sharpen those minds, learn a skill or two, whatever it may be, need not be essentially about your degree.

start writing and reading blogs of your interests, develop your portfolio, say if you're a cartoonist, then start a small series around your college...

and by the time graduation time comes reach out to all the small startups, you'll learn there more than you did at college...and afterwards you can do what you want...

over and out...
