my views on education

Education.this word is viewed differently by each and everyone.the parents say its a must,the kids just want it to get over with,the spoilt kids blame the system for it and what not.
but this is my blog,so i will tell you what i feel about it.it is said that education is a must to solve a lot of problems in our country.problems facing our country like dowry,superstitions,untouchability(it exists even today),etc.i think that basic education is a must.education which teaches us what is wrong or right,the education which helps us differentiate between the good and the bad is the real education.education which makes us realize of our rights in a free nation is real education.i ,for one,definitely support such a kind of education.

my views on higher education are completely different.i will tell you my case.i'm not really interested in what i'm doing right now.it was my choice to do this so i have to live with it.i was more interested in music.so,i considered a sound engineering course.but i was very skeptical about the future prospects of the course.and the fact that an experienced sound engineer mentioned that the highest salary you can get in this industry is rs10,000!!!!!!!! per month unless you have your own studio.how in the hell will i survive with that kind of money?
anyways coming back to the topic,i think most of the people view higher education as a medium to earn money and get a respectful bride with equally good qualifications.

now if you are doing it for the money then i must tell you there are much better ways of making money.in my opinion ,earning money by mugging up the useless information in the textbooks is such a bad idea.after mugging up these things,hardly anything out of it is used in the jobs.when you get a job,you start everything from scratch.your education doesn't matter,your skills do.so all the education you got is a waste.

i hate people who judge people on the basis of their marks(read:elderly people of our society).
"x got 98% .he's such a good boy.he's sincere in his studies.he's this that yada yada yada."and "y got 40%.he's interested only in girls.he's a spoilt brat.yada yada yada".i hate such people and such people must totally be avoided.marks will never give you a true picture of a person.if such a case,bill gates would not have failed in his 8th grade.

anyways in the end ,it all depends on what you are gonna do whether you will be doing what you like or doing something in which the money is good.i ,sadly fall in the latter category.

if you do something you like then you won't regret it.
if you do something you don't like but the money is good,then you will end up like me.

think about it.peace .thanks for reading.take care.ciao
