I'm not giving it a title

Well i promised I'd be blogging regularly and i failed !!!! bad me
Well some update from my side
College has re-opened and I'm yet to go to college.The reason being me having a bloody back ache,and i was sitting in front of my PC thinking what to do. Voila then it stuck like a lightning...lightning its a lil old saying lets say it stuck me like a OK fine lightning I'm not able to think anything new right now had a heavy lunch !!!! phew and here's my post for the day....

The Tech Coolie

For some long time i was planning to write this article and now its here,i wanted this to be my first post in my blog but only now its here.....

At this point of time,every one who just finished their schooling plans to get into some college. Be it Engg or Arts they have their choices.Its really good that they know what they want,still there are some who joins the college in some dept' just cos his/her relative told that he'll get placed in some MNC.Also there are people who want to get into Top notch colleges irrespective of the dept the reason they give here is "Placement". I simply hate it when people put it that way.

For some reason i attended a meeting in which the owner of one of Coimbatore's Top college was the chief guest[lets name him Mr.X].The speech he gave made me write this article.

The mind set of every parent and the child who's going to join the college is that they need to work in a MNC,a software company.This happens even before he/she gets a seat in the college.some even have this as an ambition[getting into a s/w company!!! Duh]. I'm not against people joining s/w companies,you'll get my point when you read this completely.And after getting into college he/she always thinks of placements.His/Her first idea is to get placed,once he/she is place he/she is on the verge of double placements,triple placements [matter of pride i guess]. Whats the point in getting placed in two or three companies,anyway he/she is going to work under some boss of theirs who is again work in under someone else,the cycle goes on...

During a visit to Germany Mr.X happened to speak to a CEO of a popular s/w firm based in the US of America. That CEO just referred to all those people working in software companies as "technology coolies" He also validated his point asking how many students get to join the MNC's and how many go on to make innovations or start a company on their own !!!. Worth Thinking right ??? No Doubt Germany has produced so many scientists. Its just true the question he asked is worth a million.
Just take the my college or my class for instance,everyone wants to get placed through the campus placement program,and the craziest part is everyone has started joining Aptitude classes and people throng the place like a cinema !!![the one who runs this is literally minting money,clever guy ;)] The point here is no one wants to be on their own they need a support system for everything they do even to get placed they need someone to help them.I'm asking why not use the same person or someone else who can help you to unleash your dream !!!

At this rate at which India is giving out "Tech coolies" ,s/w professionals. India will be a hub just to do some work which is given by some s/w firm.China is set to take over that coolie mantle from us in a very short span of time say 20-30 years from now....they need their people to get employed and for the population they have,they can simply take over all the vacancies in the field that's true.If that happens everyone who was working for them stays and the new Engg's will be left marooned just like that without a job.Not to forget you get lost of benefits working for a MNC,so just imagine how much of comfort will the one who owns the MNC will get !!! Don't say "uh things are easy on the paper",Fine then how did he do it !!! If one can do it everybody else can also do it !

There has to be some point in doing things which you don't actually love to do,people who do software jobs initially claim that they are not interested in what they are doing.I mean the job ;-).But they still keep doing it. And they do say "dood, being a software engineer sucks big time" and you know want they still work in the same Field just that they are in a different company.Er... thats the end of the post ;-)

I hope it was worth a read !!!! feel free to comment !!!!
