Why Branded Colleges and formal Education ?
by sanjay s on Apr 05, 2008 03:28 PM

We call it "Sheep Walk" !!!! Wonder why can't people find alternatives ? Probably Indians do not think out of the box ! Probably Indians never want to explore the areas other than what has been there for ages.

I took an alternative path to IT got my self certified in the highest levels of Vendor Certifications ..and I work along side IITians and earn more than them ..simply because I am good at something unique and have not crammed my head with things I do not need to perform my job thus outdoing the so called elite college Grads.

The problem is that when I am in India people think I am qualified enough ! cause I do not have an IIT or BIT degree. But when I am outside India ..hardly any of the employers know what IIT or BIT is!!!! They just want to know if you can bring them money! and they are more than willing to share a major part of it with you. Of course if you want to only wave the degree and claim that you have an Mtech!! cool go ahead I mean while would like to wave the bank notes!
