Why do some people find it harder to get a job, even if they did find one, find it harder to survive?
After several years of working with multiple companies and many colleagues, I think what seems obvious to an experienced person doesn’t even remotely come close to the wild guesses of a #fresher. We have had experience in picking up multiple freshers. Some of whom have joined our company as engineers and some didn’t.
THE EDUCATION
The level of education that is being provided by the schools and professional colleges in India is much below what can be expected from a college graduate.
It’s obvious from the education that I had. The education sector is plagued by people who consider this as just another business. We can’t blame these people alone. Just look at social media.
Rather than promoting #innovation or applauding failed #attempts, we have kids who excel in #memorising the names of thousands of cities or calculating products of large numbers. We can easily replace these people with Wikipedia and a calculator. The education sector also focuses on memory rather than logic.
And these candidates who come out of such institutions have a false sense of the world. After a basic level of the interview in which you can see Electronics #Engineers who don’t know how a transistor works or Electrical Engineers who don’t understand the difference between a #Generator and a #Motor, they seem pretty sure that they will be paid in the level of an Engineer.
What can be done?
These groups of people still have the #opportunity to learn by joining as an #intern and learning the trade that they actually should have learned in college. But still, that would be even more humiliating for a society that had parents who always compared them with their academically well-performing neighbour’s son.
THE IKIGAI
The solution lies in yourselves!
Rather than following their #passion, they find a #job that could be easily attainable and will be better paying just for the time being. Not even remotely near their #ikigai . When you go for a job just for the payment, to be honest, you won’t be interested in #learning or #improvising, it will be a boring long haul that you somehow want to be over with. This would affect your performance in the long run.
While people who follow their passion, even though would be paid less in the initial period, maybe for several years, will pick it up and be a better-performing individual who enjoys their life. If you don’t have the passion, you won’t be ready for the initial struggle that everyone has to go through in building themselves. When it’s your passion, it won’t be a struggle, it will be entertainment.

Can BS VI be a comprehensive solution?
