How about a Professional Plumber, Gardener, Electrician....

This is about the professional lyf and the work that we do....i cant talk about everyone but about myself n things that i observe @ work.....I did computer science engineering, mba in marketing/finance....landed up in a bank...started working...started learning stuff.....after nearly 2 years...i now know what and how am i supposed to do my work....but before 2 years, did i know it....the answer is obviously ::: No, i didnt....so how do i know now....because i practiced it in these two years and would continue to do so.....!!!

My education didnt teach me much about my work but my work did....education taught me or may be just made a try of computer languages....greek finance jargons " even greece didnt understand them, i guess "...which i rumped up n vomited on the exam answer sheets.....this doesnt mean that education is useless....but yes! measures should be altered with....thus, i agree with tareen zameen par as most of us do....

Again, i am not totally talkin abt education practices in our country, but as i got in banking, others went into diverse fields including manufacturing, consultancy " oh! the consultancy " , retail, pharma, research n so on......learned their domains n after few years...they know their specific jobs n how to perform it....now, they are the respected educated lot (albeit, education didnt give them much).....

Now, how about an electrician or a plumber or a gardener who directly started working and knows his work very well, but he doesnt seem to get the respect that we guys get.... i also learned stuff from work n him too....neither am i making any changes in the present structure of work in this world nor does he....so why do i get more respect than him....bcoz i have a supporting degree and a formal shirt!!! well! give him a professional electrician degree....he already knows how to do it and probably more than an electrical engineer from one of the thousands engineering institutes.....n yah! a lil more respect....
