Becoming a software engineer at Infosys or Tata is likely to make you several times wealthier than other "reasonable" jobs in India (and BTW, working in those huge CMMI-crippled corporations must be boring as hell: I don't think that fun of working/studying plays a huge role in people's choices). This is not true in OECD countries (unless you give up the technical career path and become a start-up founder): taking up an MBA or cardiology will multiply your odds of becoming wealthy, but engineering will not.
