Susane is in India under the scholarship scheme of embassy of India in Nepal. She joins the university armored with high morals and greater thought in mind that the sky is limit! The university she is in the capital of the state, at the heart of capital sharing its boundary with airport. The faculties of university are competent and are man of letters with huge seasonings under their belt.
But one thing that was lagging in the university was the importance of post-graduate education and the starve of jobs especially Bank jobs.
On her first meet with one of her classmate, her friend speaks, "I am here only to enter the Bank jobs and this university is merely a platform to wait for me to be picked." Surprisingly she asked, "But why? Why don't you complete yours post-graduate education instead and seek for better options in the same field of study cause you know agriculture is the only field with immense opportunity and we all are damn sure that the feasibility of agri education will never subside but rocket day by day."
Students barely attend the classes and remain in their own room locked up mugging up the facts to score higher marks in the entrance of Bank exam. Teachers, quite surprising though tend to encourage them to stand for the exams except for few. They are supposed to motivate and persuade the students for the further academic studies but in vain. The university administration seems to be feeling proud to say that they are the producers of this many bankers. They seems to be happy with the no. of student leaving study in the middle of nowhere and sticking on with the bank job.
It seems students are skeptic about the opportunity and feasibility of their field of study.
In a separate rendezvous her one of female classmates insist on the importance of bank jobs for them,"If we go on and continue the post-graduate studies instead of bank jobs, we wont get the proper match for ourselves. You know what, many of the boys here are all reluctant to join higher studies and in that case marriage can be a give problem and post-graduate studies a burden." She is really true in the male dominant society of Indian sub continent where people still believe that a boy need to be superior in every case than the girl. Oh, it sucks! Another burning question why should a girl thick twice before looking forward to complete her studies?
A boys in his 3rd semester of Master program is ready to leave his study incomplete and run towards bank. He insists, "My parents do not want me to miss this opportunity of job." "And what about you, do you want to leave study nowhere and go after banks that will suck you up. Don't you have faith on yours own hands and abilities? Why can't you think about the entrepreneurship instead, that yield more money and success. Don't you think you can be more innovative and give more to society and nation instead?" These questions just disappears unanswered.
Now the matter of fact to ponder about is should we be scared of scarcity of job or should we act towards the creation of opportunity instead. One of my professor used to say "Constraints are Opportunities". Its a high time we shed off the phobia of job and start creating opportunities.
Entrepreneurship is a panacea.
