ITS NOT WHAT YOU DO,BUT HOW YOU DO
A famous chinese thinker,confucious said, "Choose a job you love, you will never have to work a day in your life"
With 47 percent people below the age of 20 years, the youth constitute 160 million (approx.) which certainly shows that india's future is india's new found generation-india's youth.india's youth have already made enoromous impact globally and will continue to influence economy, media and culture in the coming years.
With globalisation and neck-cut competition increasing everyday i think today the best job is to find a good job, jokes apart, today youths are more job oriented and want to become financialy independent as soon as possible. hence many students go for jobs in call centres along with their studies.
Unlike previous generations,where job was a matter of concern only after post graduation,today's youth want a sure and short way to success. i think there are immence oppertunities for students in private sectors. with many MNCs investing in india, coorporate sector attracts lot of youths.with materialistic approach today youths have more globalised openions and so instead of worrying about the ins and outs of politics,youths today are more concerned about the infrastructural progress of the nation. instead of tradional courses like BA or BSc today most of the youths go for professional courses like MBA, BCA, or engineering which ensures them with better job oppertunities in future.
Out of the teenage population, 22 million youths comprise the urban middle class, who will start their own company and influence the economy, while another 100 million belong to rural class who are tasting their first fruit of success.
Except for jobs like IAS and PCS that also by rural class, govt. jobs are less prefered by the students. due to high corruption in the selection process and less scope of freedom even defence services are the second preference of youths. todoy youths want promising results of their hard work and desire to lead a luxurios lifestyle which is only possible in a private sector job. hence most of the students in search of greener pastures are switching to private sector. as a result fields like research and agriculture are usually the less traded ones.
As compared to govt. jobs private sector jobs not only offers perks with good salary, but there are better prospects of growth in private sector. unlike govt. jobs, there are no boudries in private sector job, one has more scope of creativity and experiment.also your tallent is noticed, which is not possible in a 10 to 5 job of o govt. sector.
Apart from this, there are students who also prefer offbeat careers like animation, choreography, photography or media. in a desire to stand apart from crowd, this RDB generation is even ready to leave their well settled job break social taboos to follow their heart. Remember the dialouge in lakshya, "Chahe ghaas kaatne wala bano, par achha ghaas kaatne wala bano" as for todays youth its not WHAT YOU DO, BUT WHAT MATTERS IS HOW YOU DO.
