"You wasted your engineering degree... An engineer taking up HR !!"
... one of my friends once was discussing with me about how he thought that most engineers in India eventually do an MBA and then land up in a field or profession that has nothing to do with engineering and thus end up never using the engineering knowledge. He knew I had a diploma in Digital Electronics followed by a degree in Electronics and a couple of years of experience as a software engineer before I steered my ship towards the interesting land of Human Resources.
Being an engineer is a way of life and somewhere or the other in our thinking and decision making process the engineering bend of mind (logic mainly) takes precedence (mostly for good and seldom for not so good).
Am absolutely glad I took up engineering as a stream for my graduation and am sure most engineers do not regret it either!
Happy National Engineers Day to all who continue to excel in the engineering profession and to all others who may not be in the profession but continue to use engineering in their day to day life!
