CAT..GRE..GMAT..GATE

Yes you guessed it right(?).. the list goes on and on.. its never-ending
How many of us are giving more than one of these just to get into top colleges for a rat-race called Career?


And how few of us know what we really want from a career - money, passion, knowledge.. or all?
I seriously think that with the amount of time, money and efforts wasted on preparing and appearing for these exams, it would take hardly any to first think about the road that follows and why would you like to take it.

So many people just let go or may i say.. postpone their dream, passion, likings just to stick to these so-called career shaping exams.
Not that i have anything against them or against people appearing for multiple exams.. but i have learnt through one big experience.. i'm sure u have too - ENGINEERING
So many students take their post 12th course as Engg just because they dont see anything else ahead.. Everyone's doing it.. why not sail with them?
No aim.. Dont know what Engineering is.. dont know where it takes you..
aah but so what.. they are doing it.. i certainly can.. but to get successful or satifactory rewards for your efforts one needs to see what he/she can do that other's cant..
I may sound a little to philosophical here . but ain't i right?

Though you are right in the last line, all those who take up engineering or medicine for that matter want to take a path of lesser risk. Engineering "carrier" is a sureshot way to move into a stable career. We all know this from examples.
What we (meaning majority of the mass) fail to do is undertake a challenge of going non-conventional from the fear of failing. I think, this could be a common phenomenon in almost all overpopulated countries.
Who knows, I could have been a succesful actor instead of a slogging engineer!!
