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....

All Humans behave in the much expected manner.......Enhanced !!!

I, as a child, always used to wonder about why people are associated with a certain behavior. So often, a comment like this would arise in between conversations "oh! he is a lawyer, take extreme care while dealing with him"..."oh! your father is a doctor...impressive"......"that guy is in the army(my daughter is single,u know)....

i would listen to these comments and would get happy about the fact that my father being a doctor falls under the much respected community.....but my point here is different....i used to think that a lawyer can be a good person... and a doctor can be bad...so one should not really make such presumptions basis his/her profession....why dont we treat everybody as humans....why such presumptions.........but, then, i was only a child to whom not many adults listen....

Later, now, when i am young and handsome( u know! is ur daughter still single!! ) working with a bank.....believes that, probably they were right in their presumptions about people basis their professions....

We deal and behave the way our profession demands for most hours of the day.
For example:: i, as an adviser, would sell several products to my clients, so, they will have to be careful about what they are buying from me( A financial Adviser, u see!! ).....
A lawyer will make his stand with the client irrespective of the truth beneath.....
An air hostess will go all out for getting more flyin hours under the belt "if u know wot i mean".....
A saint will speak and wear an attire in the much expected style.....


this list goes on and on about people......." Check out your boss tom. "

Even when i de-link the profession angle to it, statement still holds true about people and their behavior:::

If i see a beggar outside my car, i expect him to cry in front of me, he lives up to it more often than not...
An American roaming in one of the malls in Delhi would talk n walk as expected.....
A small town guy will be in awe to see the happenings in a metro and its so evident on his face....

Then, this leads to a conclusion that its not bad or wrong to make presumptions, infact, it is critical and should be believed coz we do happen to deal with a lot of people everyday and such information n thereby, conclusions should help.....

But i still wish, on professional front, a person could be like the one he wants to be not what his profession demands from him.....albeit, i still havent figured that out for myself.......but i must mention that the hunt is on everyday...!!!!....
