Sometimes Only coz the Colleague's Son is an Engineer who's doing well.
They don't ask the child what does he /she wants to become.And Lemme
tell u an example where a Sister of My Friend,After Completing B.Tech,and
slogging at iFlex for sometime,is now preparing for MBBS.Only coz her
interests lay in MEdicine since the beginning and only due to her parents
goading,she joined Engg.But Now she's pursuing what she likes because
now she can face upto her parents.
Now the loss is entirely hers.After 5 years in Engg,Now another 10 years
will be gone in MBBS.Not to think of the Laughs & giggles She'll get Jus'
to have pursued her dream.
IMO,This mentality of parents that they should decide the career of their
children as a parallel to someone else's carre should go away.
Jus' coz Dad's Colleague's Son is Well-off at Infy,why Should I veer
away from my Dreams n aspirations!!!!
Also many Youngsters,even before completing their 4 year degree are
so vexed up with life and its intermittent struggles that they totally
lose confidence in themselves.And End up as Wastrels.
Well u cant really blame da mentality of parents...coz acc. 2 them..they think they r doing jst the right thing for their kids and most of the time the children dont even bother 2 show them an alternate path.. I think a percentage of them jst follow thro wid their parents dreams n aspiration coz they havent thought of any emselfz.
So after sloggin halfway thro' ...whn they get sick n tired of everythin they jst simply blame it on their parents ( itz always easier 2 blame stuff on others regardless of if they were responsible or nt ), itz nt like da kids were forced 2 do anythin at gun point.
They really should have da strength n will power 2 choose wht they want n prove tht they really did made da best out of it!
