Society Conditioning

So many engineers are staring at unemployment across the Country. Oversupply and less quality is making them unfit for jobs. Since it became a gateway to high salaries and U.S.Ticket, the Engg stream today has more supply and less demand.

Why are parents then putting children in these colleges? We seek answer in the Novel “The Peer”.
Excerpts from the Novel, “THE PEER”

“Then how are parents putting children in specialized schools, assuming their children need to be engineers or doctors, IITians, CA’s, etc., at the school stage? It is as if parents have made up their minds at the LKG stage itself what their child needs to grow into! If the child’s interests do not lie there, then it will be difficult for the child and the pressure will be higher. Some children commit suicide since they do not know how to communicate to their parents and parents just want children to complete their studies. They are not willing to accept that not having an interest will cause an issue.”

“Ten lakh engineers and two lakh management graduates come out of India’s colleges every year. Where are the jobs for them? We have so blindly believed in the pipeline being full all the time that we never prepared for the eventualities. As if that is not enough, we want to make more of our children unfit for local work by dumping English on them from childhood, even in government schools.”

“Then why are so many parents sending their children to the same professions?”

“They have no choice! Society has conditioned them from childhood. A dictatorship society alone revels in making their citizens submissive so that they can keep looting the natural resources. There is so much competition among parents that they respond to peer pressure more than to their children’s aims and ambitions.”
