Why point at a population that is earning right and helping the country progress in technology. The Indian population is huge! Why is one sector being blamed as the cause of advancement stagnancy? Although Coming from the engineering background I would find it a resource waste when Electronics and Computer engg graduates are forced to take jobs towards Software.psychopneumahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10675373334658226064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4701998346296999235.post-16368067216774292122010-05-07T01:31:40.825-07:002010-05-07T01:31:40.825-07:00Frankly, I think you are right in saying that we a...Frankly, I think you are right in saying that we are increasing dependency by working for US and UK companies.<br>According to me, not only engineers, but all professional employees, of every level working for such multinationals should quit and focus on domestic jobs which are not "outsourced".<br>The US should stop spoon feeding the Indian youth. We have the capability to excel on our own merit and do not need to be at the mercy of so called "First World" countries.<br>I'm not speaking patriotically, but practically. Look at the enormous talent pool being wasted, while employing even half of that towards national infrastructural development would definitely take India ahead in every aspect.twistedpreacherhttp://twistedpreacher.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4701998346296999235.post-89414780145639703752010-04-23T10:32:43.534-07:002010-04-23T10:32:43.534-07:00@kavita: Thnx kavita for the appreciation.

But somehow they are not able to attract the best of the talents. The reason may be many, it is lot more demanding. The quality of work may be not that superior or atleast to some extent as compared to core industry but the exposure and the charm that IT industry provides, is able to attract more talent.karan ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16949202657516921625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4701998346296999235.post-43716524822183570352010-04-23T09:52:48.902-07:002010-04-23T09:52:48.902-07:00@Chandrika S Saini: Thnx Chandrika!@Chandrika S Saini: Thnx Chandrika!karan ahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16949202657516921625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4701998346296999235.post-10453971749522156372010-04-22T22:51:56.587-07:002010-04-22T22:51:56.587-07:00Very interesting debate....i have always wondered ...Very interesting debate....i have always wondered why my medico brother left his flourishing practice and joined IT ?He keeps on jumping from one company to another..thanks to perks.He looks and sounds very happy about it.How and Why ?I really dunno.<br><br>Hey Karan..congrats,really nice post.kavitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11342095914702911870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4701998346296999235.post-27480434163312851312010-04-22T13:04:00.749-07:002010-04-22T13:04:00.749-07:00hi this comment is nt for IT N COM ENGG ...nice d...hi this comment is nt for IT N COM ENGG ...nice debatable post.. core industry(except IT n COMP ENGG)really needs talented and good technical engineers but because of IT industry this talent is going to non technical way( for other stream)only because of lifestyle,fun and showoff...m not denying IT industry is back bone for Indian economy but on other hand technical research through this talented engg can create technical revolution in India...<br>patent is the word comes from research and v r very poor in producing patent and copyrights of technical thing hence v have to import many things.. <br>like developed countries such as Germany,Japan,France are developed their economy by engineering(other than IT)so why not we.<br>As a technical engineering i must say lots of good engineering work i s going on top colleges and top industry just they want sound and interested people.<br>really fnds do not waste ur degree.............rahulhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15765347764218103289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4701998346296999235.post-75512112211950145232010-04-22T07:35:29.406-07:002010-04-22T07:35:29.406-07:00I agree with Sarang.

There has been study conducted on work life balance and also work satisfaction, by one of my friend during her PhD. She has collected data from well know IT giants(one of which is TCS) and also from core industry like manufacturing, electrical and she found that in-spite of greater salaries in IT industry, the workers in IT are highly dissatisfy about the work, and work life balance both compared to Core industry workers. <br>The root cause of this might be what we are discussing.Saranghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11380005676309013324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4701998346296999235.post-13155393453087672012010-04-20T22:47:25.765-07:002010-04-20T22:47:25.765-07:00@Sarang: Yes, I appreciate.
