What India really needs to change is a culture of conformity, and to encourage entrepreneurship. I mean, not everyone is constitutionally capable of becoming a great engineer, but their parents push their kids through the same engineer + mba pipeline, all to get a job and generally it's the same type of engineering job (i.e whatever pays the highest at the moment, if it's software, you see like millions of people graduate as "software engineers"). Instead of always having a mindset of "what pays the most?", if the parents can encourage their kids to learn deeply and develop in what they find passion in, i think you'll see a a lot of India's problems being solved, and India developing self sufficiency in economic terms. The brain power is most definitely there but a culture of preferring safety over everything else needs to change.
- darkcha0s 8y agoWhy is software engineers in quotes?
- strikelaserclaw 8y agoBecause there are a lot of lower tier colleges which have no standards when it comes to graduating "software engineers." Basically like paying for a piece of paper and the right to call yourself an "engineer."
