In India, you are judged by the job and salary you get after graduation, not what you have studied, learned and the intellectual property you have earned. Ironical but the truth! This article talks about the Career Options you can choose from after engineering.
In India, many want to become an engineer, but not all know what to do with this engineering mania. If you are a current student of engineering or have passed out recently, then this article is a MUST read for you.
What have you thought about doing next? M.Tech? or MBA? or a Job? Even if you have decided on something, it is advisable to explore the other options lying in front of you. We prefer to keep silence and let things happen only to cry later about the mistakes we made – a truth never discussed or told.
Before we start exploring the options available, let us keep three Mantras in mind:
- Don’t leave an option straight forward because it is too mediocre. You don’t need to follow others but to follow your heart.
- It’s okay if a million other people like you are preparing for an entrance exam, including your friends! If you believe you can crack the exam, trust me YOU CAN.
- Everybody is not born to do an M.Tech./MBA and get a high paying job. If people like Gandhi, SC Bose, and APJ Abdul Kalam thought this way the world would have missed a lot of positive changes. Be the change you want to see in the world.

In India, we have a habit of not mixing our profession and our passion. But what if our passion becomes our profession? At least you would never regret doing something you never liked and you would live every moment doing what you love.
So did you find something that excites you? Or maybe therein lies something beyond these for you! What matters, in the end, is that you are happy with what you have done & what you are doing. Remember, if you want to worry about what people think about, this or that, then there is a problem! Do you respect the person you are? If yes, you are on the right path!
