Many MBA students choose to start their professional lives with a business. But Engineers highly rely on campus placements to start their careers. What are the trends that the youth of today are following? What impact does the ‘recession period’ have on the minds of the youngsters of today? Modern Trends team went around and asked the students to give their reviews on this topic. Read on to reveal the secrets in the young minds.
First of all let me divide this topic into two categories. Of which, one shall speak about the insight of Engineers, and, the other shall tell you about the insight of MBA students on this topic. Let us see what the MBA students have got for us:
Many MBA students pursue their studies in MBA after completing a degree, just because they are not satisfied with their basic degree. But there are some interesting students who think of big things and are ready to take big challenges in their lives and face all the problems that will try to block their path of success. Some of these students never bother about job opportunities, but, their talent in the field of business is worth appreciating. These MBA students have carved their future for themselves and have decided not to depend on any company to get their jobs. As they are MBA students they have a basic idea about the market and know the hardships dealt by the company and its workers during difficult times. They do not want to depend on anybody for their salary hikes. The basic idea of joining a MBA college in most of the cases was to reap huge cash out of some business. Some of them plan to become a chartered accountant (it was the first preference in most of the MBA students). In our survey we found that almost 90 to 95% of all the MBA students are willing to set up their own business. Some also spoke about a network marketing plan which they wanted to execute. I am sorry to say that most of the MBA students were found playing around with network marketing business where one gets some commission for making a list of members to join the network. Making money is quite easy but it should be for the benefit of the society. This is what I feel but none of the students agreed with me. I would sincerely suggest the people reading this topic to keep themselves out of this field. Work hard and reap harder is my slogan. I don’t know about others’ opinion, but my opinion on this topic is never going to change. It is innovation which brings fame to a person’s life. It was quite surprising to find out that even these Business aficionados were afraid of recession, whereas, in the actual sense they are the ones who should come forward during such times and try to stabilize the economy of the nation. Many MBA students were also interested in stocks despite the quakes created on the same topic by their parents. It was found that most of the parents were afraid of their children becoming a stock broker. Reason? They (the parents) would have to pay for the losses brought to others by their child. Some MBA students (about forty percent) were found to be ex-perimenting with shares while pursuing their studies. They believe that this gives them a better idea about the market, which is essential for a MBA student. Very few spoke about accountancy. They think that this subject and job is quite boring. Moreover nobody studies MBA to become a clerk. And hence we concluded the response of the MBA students in short as: No job only business!
Now, coming to the engineers. Luckily not many engineers were found fiddling around with the network marketing business. The most popular one in India is called E-Biz. It was not surprising for me to find out that all the highly ranked students wanted to have a job, whereas those who did not have a chance of even peeking into a company interview were found to be trying to establish some sort of a business. Some were learning hardware and networking, whereas some tried their luck in shares and investments. Some were found to be busy doing research about the various businesses that a freshly passed out engineer could do. And some were found scratching their head trying to learn some softwares. But, as I said, the first preference that all the Engineers had in their mind was to get a job. Some are still in the trend of two years working to get experience and many others (who are confused rather) are willing to pursue their higher studies. Some were speaking MS and some twittered about M.Tech in an reputed IIT college. The Engineers were completely opposite to the MBA students. Over ninety five percent of the Indian Engineering students are still amused with the idea of getting jobs. It seems that the youngsters are not still aware about the recession menace. But it was found that around twenty percent of the low percentage students had great ideas in their minds which they wanted to exercise after passing out of the college. And trust me their ideas are really very innovative. One of the major reasons why the engineers are so much fascinated about jobs is because of their parents. All the parents want their engineer children to join big companies, but none of them want their children to open big companies? Would we see Infosys today if its founder would get a job in a good IT company? Definitely not! I would suggest every Indian to take a look at the life of Mr. Bill Gates. He was passionately interested in softwares. His father wanted him to become a lawyer (like him). But the passionate child who started off with writing small software codes went around designing new OS platforms and became the richest man of the world for almost a decade! The reason why Engineers are given such high packages by the companies is because they do not want the fresh talents to become their competition. But the engineers are found to lose the point. It was actually found that the reason why some students scored so less in their academic exams was not because they were dumb or something likely, but instead, because they spent a considerable amount of time reading things that they were interested in. These students had ended up into the wrong branches and hence could not concentrate on their prescribed syllabuses. Learning hacking fascinates many Engineers even today. and many such previous cases have shown us great Engineers of all times.moreover it was found that it job which was the keyword that came out of every engineer’s mind.
I personally feel that job is useful to get exposed to the international market. Later it is just business and business. Small-small steps take us to a bigger future. Try it. I am sure it will be great fun. Do not forget to put your vote. Have a nice day!!!!!
