I am 32 years an engineer old and head a product division of an MNC, I didn't get here overnight. i knew my engineering results were not up to the mark and took whatever came my way initially, made sure I left no stone unturned, whether i was asked to count refrigerators or stack up washing machines, and then demanded a profile I wanted once the time was right.
On the contrary i see fresh graduates walk in to my department and say within 2 months claim they are being underutilized, I try not to laugh, why do engineers from third rate institute with a "donation" degree feel they are gids gift to engineering.
And this is an attitude not just confined to the workplace, as a counselor I was asked by final year students why a 60% in 3 sems out of 6 was not good enough for Stanford.
The second party responsible for this are parents, who play no small role in bloating the egos of their children, time for a reality check everybody, 30 years back there were 100 graduates applying for a single medical representative or clerks position. Reality check " Beggars cant be choosers" if you can choose then leave don't crib.
And as a last word I doubt if Ms Smita Rajan' father wud have done the same if smitha was a boy. For all psuedo feminist cant stand the heat dont blame the kitchen.
