Sometime we feel that living in 21st century is a good luck for us, isn't it so?
Nowadays, I can not imagine myself without Skype, Viber, WhatsApp or any other way of communication Apps. However, this is the only one side of development.
From other side 21st century have changed all the imaginations which we had about life and career.
21st century person should be professional in any fields. This is what employers want, they expect from you to be maximum 30 years old, have minimum 5 years of professional work experience, have a Bachelor and Master degrees (minimum), handle 2-3 foreign languages, be in "good shape" (not only for girls) and have excellent knowledge of all the software and computer programs, but in the end also have some relative who will be in connection with that company and recommend your candidacy. Here I want to shout: "What's the hell".
What is this all going on around? People spend four years of their life to get some specialization, and after all, they can not get any opportunity if they still don't have Master degree.
So, why we have this system of education if 4 years of study is nothing. Let it be 6 years with complete education and people like me, will decide whether they want to spend 6 years to study that particular subject or not.
Nowadays universities offer plenty of courses, but how many of those are actual for present job market? Subjects like Biology, Chemistry, Arts, Theology and even Medical studies are real problems for this century. Such countries like Armenia, if someone has a Biology degree there is no growth in future career, and most of the specialists work at school (and even if they are lucky to get this opportunity). Almost the same is with Chemistry, except few laboratories where you definitely will need a Master Degree to be "qualified" for such work.
Here, in India I don't have a much knowledge about Biology and Chemistry, but I do have plenty of knowledge as well as experience about Medicine. Let me say one thing, doctors life in India is real hell, until unless they don't have the highest qualification. First of all it's your "bad luck" if you have studied Medicine from abroad. You will need to clear license exam, which is not really easy. After you did it, you start working for one year without salary as an internship. After that only you will have a chance to get selected with some hospital.Since most of the Indians are ether doctors ether engineers here you will see huge competitions. However if you are lucky to get it, you can be relax only for one year, after one year is completed again you need to pass exam. If you are not enough lucky to clear that exam you will be out from Government Hospital and will be able to work only in private.
Let me mention one thing, it's not all about knowledge which you need to clear those exams. There is also cast system exist, even if your scores are high but your cast is not in first category you will be present to the situation where someone with very less scores will pass and you will be out. And the only place to work is private hospitals. Here don't expect much, you will get a 12 to 16 hours of duty with minimal salary (the salary is less than fresher software engineer salary), and it does not depend how many years of experience you have. And with every year it gets less and less.
Sometime I feel that studying such subjects are really lost of time. Spend 6 years on study and get only Bachelor Degree after which you will be suffering to get a job, to clear so many exams and then work for 12 to 16 hours, and get money with which you will not be able to enjoy your life. Is this the future which we really want for our society? Exhausted doctors ? Scientists who are leaving the country because of better options ? Why those countries are not giving chance to more people? Why they only make salaries less and working hours more, instead of opening more hospitals, laboratories where specialists can growth their knowledge and practical experience and same time develop the country, instead of reading this huge books where only A, B, C, D options exist.
Education has became a business, has lost its value. This century is for people who don't have education but are enough clever to open their own business and make educated people to work for them.
As a person who was born in high educated family, I have always thought that education is very necessary for good life facilities, now my opinion is completely changed.
In near future we will have a deficit of specialist in very important subjects, since this people are not "recognized" from society, their knowledge is "ignored", their Degree is "unqualified", since they have very hard specialty but the hardest for them is, too get job. That is why new generation thinks only about doing business, but not studying Medicine or Chemistry.
