As kids, how many of us have thought to be this and that when we grow up. I used to think of so many things I could be. Some of those ideas were crazy. But today I don't see myself doing any of those things I thought I would be doing professionally. Why me? All the people I know aren’t really doing what they thought of.
Sailendra, he was damn sure he’d join Infosys and get some work experience which he thought would later help him get an MBA from a decent enough B-School. But now, he’s back from Infosys because he just couldn’t make the cut off by 0.5%. Everyone knows there are so many people in Infosys with much worse academics than him. But it had to happen to him. He’s ok with it though.
Harsha, he thought he would actually be doing his masters in some core subject and applied for EE (Electrical Engineering) but turns out, the only major he can take concerns networking which he doesn’t want to do. All the best man! Lolz.
Few others have changed their goal so many times that I don’t really know what their goal is now. Faheem and Riyaz, well, now they’ve settled for placements though they said something about an MBA then I heard something like “I don’t think I’ll leave the placement option” then I heard “MBA after I get experience”. Lolz.
And me? My oh my! I thought I’d become a pilot. Or may be a doctor. (Being a doctor or a pilot helps impress girls u know :D. I think it’s got something to do with the uniforms. Lolz) But I’m on my way to be neither. I’m as far away as possible from those things. Couldn’t be any further. Lolz.
Come to think of it, and I feel the people who really get to do what they want to be really lucky. They can really enjoy doing what they do.
We can learn to enjoy what we do though ;)
