Current Education Vs Job Market

Life in current decade has gone far ahead than human mind could have conceived, by now we have created amazing machines, something called fiction two decades ago is a reality today, courtesy science.

Now let us understand that why happiness is so uncommon now a days, don’t you feel that somewhere the race to be ahead of others is taking toll on our life, the direct impact is on health, emotions & finances. The way the cut of percentages are rising up to 100% in top colleges of India, it seems that this is the only thing a kid is born for. While the Education is a business for rich, middle class is facing the burnt of the business called Education. Higher the image of the educational institutes higher the monthly bill.

Survey says that maximum of MBA & Engineering graduates are not even employable and as a career counselor I found the truth is that they were not taught with intention to help them, but to finish off with semester. Otherwise today’s youth is far more informed & aware.

Worst hit are the fresh pass out MBAs & Engineers. They are weak in academics & weaker in practical knowledge. Their aspiration doesn't match with the job offers in the real market. They feel that they are overqualified for certain jobs. Now as a society we need to see how we can bring the change in this entire scenario. The educationists have to think long term & employ quality faculty, which is not only knowledgeable but also motivated enough to transfer the energy in to the next generation.

I agree that the Education is the right for everyone. But every child can’t be a genius to become an Engineer or a Doctor. Education is considered as the source of earning in all the middle class families. 

Unfortunately academics have been considered as the easiest source of making money forgetting that the kid is inclined towards studies or not.

On the contrary young India is doing pretty well in other fields like sports & entertainment. Reality TV has given many hopes. The need of the hour is that push a child in the direction which is loved by him/her, only self interest can ignite the fire in the child to overcome all difficulties to achieve the pinnacle in life. 

   

Few suggestions for the parents:-

•  Parental ambitions should not be the determining factor for the child’s choice of course or career.
•  Know your child. As lack of communication is the first disconnect in the modern families.
• See your child’s overall education history before you counsel him/her for career choice.
• Keep a check on the mood swings; these can be the early signs for his/ her stress level.
• Give proper listening to the child’s choice for his/her career.

Few suggestions for the students:-

• Awareness is the mantra. Know yourself well, means know your interest areas clearly.
• Take help of a career counselor to give a fair assessment for the choices available for you.
• Time is money, learns that it’s your life, you can’t succeed without hard work, sounds bookish, but true.
• Don’t fight with the present situation in life, wherever you are, strive hard from mere better to the best.
•  Parents are the real physical God in life, respect them, your existence is proof that they have created you.
• A vocational course with the proper guidance can be more fruitful to fetch a decent job, skilled people are always in demand.

The top 10% students will never face the problem in job market; they will always remain the shout after diamonds everywhere. As their mere presence at the top says loudly that they are carrying positive attitude & loved the assignment of studying well.

Rest of the job seekers have to fight back, and prove that they are worthy enough to be hired, this is only possible with “Attitude Quotient” which is a combination of Intelligence Quotient, Emotional Quotient & Social Quotient.

I would like to conclude that the market may look down but still the aspiring job seekers, who are polishing themselves with positive attitude, are still in demand & can get a decent start in career and from there, they can actually march forward.

Keep in touch. Stay Blessed. Stay Happy.

Attitude Quotient - Introduction

Let me introduce this great tool of happiness, "Attitude Quotient". Yes it’s all about being positive about life; life keeps taking test of every living individual every day, every moment. It’s our decision making & attitude which brings out the results, sometimes good sometimes not so good, even then we find that few people are very happy, they greet others & make others smile, laugh, hug & love them, on the other hand few people remain annoyed & keep reflecting that they are the victims. 

I feel Attitude Quotient " is the differentiating factor. If one can keep his or her focus on the happiness, he or she can actually change the entire outcome. Now you must be thinking how it’s possible. Follow these few suggestions & feel the difference.

• Maintain your individuality, simply follow your heart.
• Love yourself. This mantra will help you to love your family & friends in a better way.
• Attain a good health, join gym, jog in park, take brisk walk or do yoga every day, do whatever you like or do even you don’t like, it will help.
• Only a healthy body can claim to have a healthy brain. Try it & you will come to know the difference.
• Stay away from stress, excess of everything is causing stress in today's life, be it career ambitions or personal life possessions. 

When you try to be yourself, you remain happy from inside, just don’t follow the rut, it can never take you higher. You can only attain heights, if you follow your heart & do what you love or love the thing you do.

When you love yourself you find the reason in yourself to be loved by others, once you care for your life you find the ''WHY" factor in life, "HOW" is just a mere thing then. Once you grow in life, you become magnet to attract all the right people around you. You become a goodness magnet.

Today’s life style demands long working hours & long commuting for work places, keeping focus on good health is the best way to keep stress away.

“One Hour in Gym a day can keep the stress away.”

Stress virus keep looking for weak people, weakness in terms of determination to keep oneself happy & what I recommend as remedy is “Attitude Quotient.”

Be determined to be happy & fight back, it’s a beautiful life, lets live it to the fullest. Keep smiling, keep fit, stay blessed & follow forgive & forget mantra to attain the bliss of life. With Attitude Quotient all this is possible.

With practice you will be able to raise your “Attitude Quotient”, self help is the key & then keep spreading the mantra.
