I would love to go for a psych degree but my parents want me to go for a professional degree in medical or engineering.

those are both good moneymakers.

Yeah. And that's why my parents want me to do that...at least for engineering. Medical is something that I should do and not do at the same time but even if I do I shouldn't do pediatrics since it doesn't earn as much as, say, orthopedics or cardiology.

 

But both these have cut throat competition for admission into good colleges (blames stupid population) (blames Barm too)

engineering is good everywhere afaik

But so many go for engineering here that its difficult to get a job unless your college is good. IITs have the best placement and even saying that you studied in an IIT in your CV means that your chamber of getting a job increases much more.

are you staying there?

I have had a few Indian professors here and they have said that it is really busy and that if you want to do anything there you have to study all of the time, and dont really have a choice in a lot of things if you want a future. I do not envy you for that kind of pressure.

If you need anything we are always here to help.

Hiarth!

 

(I always think this sounds like something large and furry barking...)

 

(Am I hearing things?)

 

I am remiss in my welcoming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi thur.

They are mostly right. I had to buy college level books just to prepare for competitions :(

Yikes.

Now I think that this thread is lacking in brownies...

Did I mention HOLLIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yesterday I spent half of the day with my dad watching cross country skiing world championship. And I had sushi. It can´t get much better.

It could get better with brownies I think

 

I hope you have as much fun in the rest of your holidays!

Welcome Hiarthbeorn!

Get used to it. You can´t read a single thread here that doesn´t mention food or cakes or brownies or...
