This is what I wrote a decade back related to IT Industry and ICH‘ONE’BEE. Read this first before reading further. Link: https://www.jpranavc.com/2016/01/a-short-poetry-on-it.html.
Now, what my contention since the beginning was that Usain Bolt couldn’t have proven himself had he not been fed, even a basic diet. Similarly, what is needed in any career; is a basic degree, and that should’ve been made accessible to everyone. Government jobs should’ve been made Contractual, including ones in the UPSC. WHILST, and this is important, at the time of Recruitment, one should’ve made sure that, without any invention, origination, creation, or, conceptualization of any theory, NO ONE should’ve been hired! This would’ve accomplished atleast 80% of the economy from the Capitalist point of view, which even I support(ed). Then, the remaining part should’ve been evolved from the authentic ‘intellectual left/communism’ perspective! Yes, that’s an important element for the society, if you want to make people become more learned; and due to this reason only, individuals alike Kalam & ABV got respect in India, else, who would’ve given respect, without them acquiring any Wealth? And these two theories should’ve easily co-existed! The Wise would’ve guided the Rich, and, the Rich would’ve fed the Wise!
Now:
I gave an example earlier that, how the Indians, or Israelis, or Britishers, or the Mexicans, would’ve reacted, if in case, you’ve witnessed that, every year, American government and media, sitting fingers crossed, that how many Americans got the chance, let’s say, to live the SWISS study, working or residency VISA dream! CHEAP! Isn’t it? But this is how, especially India, Israel, Mexico reacts. Mexico meanwhile is classic example, as despite believing in the wrath of gods; they don’t want to solve, not only theirs’, but also never of the Latin American issues! Ever!
Now coming back the captioned subject. Indians are still taking bank loans to fulfill their anywhere ABROAD Degree dreams. For this, they are keeping their houses to jewelry on mortgage, and as you don’t get even a 50K loan in India without mortgage, nor, without a good CIBIL Score, due to distrust: example -> Nirav/Malaya/Choksi/Others alike them. And if the 10% percent of any nation include earners of 25K p/m also, and that’s been considered as a good salary, then please find out, could ALL such earners afford at a decent location, a house on rent; forget about buying it. YET, they are taking loans from wherever way it is possible, to pay for the puffery education, which I can guarantee that, they would then do anything to pay back. Correct? Then what’s the importance of such education?
This academic-financial inferiority complex neither worked in US, that’s why Mr. DJT came, TWICE, as the MAGA rejected everything rich & degrees, and today, going by the statistics only, very few people in US, from US, are enrolling themselves into the Academic Institutions. Whilst in India, its effects may compound drastically!
PLEASE UNDERSTAND! ☹
