Mad Race to Go Abroad

Some 10 to 15 years ago, students from far-flung states wanted to go to Bangalore, Chennai etc. to study engineering.  It caused the rapid establishment of engineering colleges in those states. In those days, they used to have hundreds of colleges in states. Some were exceptionally good and some were very shady. They scammed students. There were wild stories regarding those admissions. When students reach college, it is nothing. Since then, AICTE has been very vigilant. They brought many rules and regulations to counter this issue. Now, engineering in India is a regulated space and I hear no such stories.

With the development of the Indian economy, the Indian people have become wealthy. Mostly, the upper middle class is very aspirational. They work very hard and want to spend money on students’ education. I have come across people who are spending with both hands to send their students abroad. Many people are drawing money from their pension funds jeopardizing the future to send their children. Now, it is not a problem if the student is decently talented but a race is going on. The students are also trying to go abroad sometimes by taking irrelevant courses. Frankly speaking, the Western countries are not growing and they only want students to keep fuelling their educational business economy. It is not like the old days when the countries would allow you to work there. With each passing day, they have made rules and regulations such that it is challenging to get a work visa. Even if you get jobs, these are mostly in petrol pumps, grocery stores etc. Moreover, in many countries, many scams are going on.  Clueless, students get duped by scamsters. They end up in the streets and die. Therefore, going abroad for the sake of going abroad is no good.

People always say that there are no jobs. Jobs are there. And people are getting it all the time. One has to devote time to learning some practical skills. Most of the people run away by hearing this. There has to be some effort from our side. Moreover, there is a process of learning. You start from the basics and then go on to solve a complex problem. Nowadays, people want to start from the end. Nobody can teach you that way.

Health is wealth for students

Nowadays, when I look around, most of the students are either obese or have some kind of health issues. In my time, I used to be obese due to my faulty food habits. It continued to my mid-thirties, and then it hit bottom in terms of my health even if, I was running daily. I could not manage my weight and swelling like anything. Later on, I developed uncontrollable sugar levels in my blood.  It took around two and half years to become normal, and I had to figure out what to eat and what not to eat in what quantity. Since then, I have been doing fine. If you see, in my case, the health issue hit me in the mid-thirties, and now I am seeing students getting health issues in their teens. Somehow, it is linked to unhealthy eating habits like fast food, packaged foods, and highly processed foods like bakery products. 

 

In those years, I used to have ideas about general improving health. There are lots of good physicians who are offering good advice through YouTube channels by Dr. Eric Berg and Dr. Sten Berg. I spent a good amount of time watching their videos. These videos helped me to plan my diet in an order which was suitable for me. Gradually, my health improved. Later on, I read books by Jessie Inchauspe’s book called ‘Glucose Revolution’ and Dr. Sarin’s ‘Own Your Body’. These are advanced-level books. 

 

During those days, I could not work to my full potential. Therefore, having good health is very important. One should include some exercise sessions in his or her daily routine. A good physique also helps you leave a good impression on interviews. Obese people are often looked down upon with suspicion, and perceived as lazy.

The Books which I have followed are below

Mindset orientation regarding educational inflation

  

(Photo source:pexels.com)

In India, inflation in the education sector is very high . In simple terms, you have to spend more on education each passing year. As per an article titled “Education inflation is twice the inflation ‘rate – Tips to invest for children’s education published in the Indian Express on August 18, 2023, the education sector is facing an inflation of 10 to 12%. In real terms, I think it is much higher than reported in our region.

Well, no one can stop this inflation as the running costs of schools and colleges have been increasing steeply. Now, education has become costly. You are getting the same basic education at a higher cost. On the other hand, the students are not able to get jobs even after spending so much. Now, we have to think in terms of the “return on investment” point of view. Many things which students take out of passion are of no use in income generation in the practical field. The market wants different things. If the market wants rice, we should be able to provide rice. Otherwise, if you keep pushing mustard, there will be no takers. The world is brutal and always be like this. Therefore, we have to reorient ourselves. We have to understand that what we would like to do necessarily may not pay.

 Keeping that in mind, we have to choose courses. Moreover, schools and colleges will give you the basic knowledge based on which you will move up further. Therefore, you have to devote some time to learning some extra skills so that you become employable. No college will be able to teach what is required in an actual company or farm because companies or farms will not share anything like that because companies keep their secrets very aggressively. You can learn some skills so that you can show your intent. The rest of the things you will learn on the job. The companies also know that.

Therefore, your college years should be very productive. The decisions you make in those years will shape your future in the coming years.  It should not be such that everything had been spent for nothing.
