Rote learning, encouraged by our education system is bad. It really doesn't matter whether you score 98 percent of 78 percent. Many innovators have came from the middle class. And from the middle of the class - not the toppers, not the bottom ring. So get your fundamental rights.
I find street vendors enterprise are smarter than the MBA student .A street vendor borrows at 10 percent interest, takes dept, pays back debt, pays rupees 15 for the kerosene lamp, has an investment of Rs 150 a day. He can do pricing, logistics,mapping of where he has to go, positioning of vegetables, whether at the front or the back, what to sell lower at the end of the day, marketing , so why call him uneducated? He does any thing a businessman does and has survived for 20 years, come what may, a bundh or a strike, procession. Without computers, without business managers.
In our rote education, marks are more important not quality.But education should be about innovations, openness. It is not so in my institution and in India, that is why we are afraid of failure.
When a college drop out like STEVE JOBS went on to change the world with his APPLE invention, what are we as a graduate worth?
Many a times say a Bsc graduate, takes Msc/MBA as further studies or a few joins low profile jobs like BPO, medical transcription, a data entry job at any pharma company. Am not criticizing these jobs, but this was to do, why do graduation?
A Bsc especially chemistry,microbiology,zoology has been gifted by huge and enormous number of opportunities which i think we are more smarter than a Engineering student. A engineering student is found to be specialized only in a specific field but a Bsc student can use innumerable profiles from his studies. So use from the extreme studies and change the world...Think big ..think ahead...think fast....ideas are no ones monopoly ! ! ! !
