The Grand Return

Feels good to get back to the universal hobby of blogging!!!!

My old account Eminence Speaks got blocked and so here I am with a new title and a new place and a new idea and of course new thoughts!!!

I am sitting at work right now and I can see dozens of people sitting in front of their computers and processing invoices, making payments, taking calls and the like.... Hard to think that at their age, me and my generation were preparing for the umpteen hurdles of higher studies a.k.a CAT, XAT and the like!!!!

But is it time that we stop back and think whether this is a very healthy trend in the emerging Indian scenario... We go all over the place harping on the fact that we are a highly skilled soceity... But put in one way, if we are employing close to 3,00,000 skilled people in the industry who are graduates, there will come a time in the near future when the importance of higher education will be lost out on coming generations... And it is a known fact that once a graduate is earning, he would not sacrifice that for a degree!!!! So are we theoritically talking about a lack of skilled/educated manpower in the future.....

So, fellow management graduates..... Stop, think....we have a great future in our scope going forward!!!!

Worth giving a thought??!!!! Sure think so!!

Looking forward to views on this....

Regards

beg to disagree...numerous examples can be quoted whr graduates hv taken the decision to pursue further studies...if not for just for academic interest then at least for pure monetary benefits as an aftereffect...wotsay?

I agree but that trend is slowly diminishing..... With so many openings for graduates today it is getting difficult for hem to leave such offers and pursue further studies!!!
