In continuation to my earlier message dated May 26, 2007.
Every one will have two professions on completion of their education, first one is academics and other one will be industry. If someone is interested in basic research please prefer academics and the one interested to have fatty salaries; then prefer industry. When you are in academics you need to lead standing in the front with good number of publications under your name and need to stick long duration at given responsibility; but some one choosing industry then you should be innovative in doing things better with speed as to stand as achiever & your education is just a qualification to obtain some title under your name.
Today education is business; please judge the best course you fit comfortably & do not compare your salary with your associates. Only way any one can grow in career is to start work at basic level and grow experiencing the difficulties that come your way; some one doing the prior said will have professional satisfaction as well as can obtain enough maturity to choose best available prospects at that point of their life as no one can expect future dynamics of technology business.
Our education qualification has minute role & it is the ability that will fetch us better work, so please don%u2019t feel disheartened.

Yes, I agree, but only partly. This is the mistake we indians do, as parents and as students. There is something known as return on investment. Even though it is our parents who invest in our education, it is our money.
What I am trying to say is that... parents and kids have a collective responsibility to see that any education they take up will be usefull and fruitful. First decide the course that you want to undertake, then find out about the job market feseability, also decide how much more education is required for getting a job, then find the correct instutions, and then start your studies. You have to plan atleast for 5 years of professional life ahead, else you will be left behind.
