Why maybe you should NOT do engineering
I am an engineer – well not professionally,but i did B.E from mumbai university,and now i am in the hotel industry.There are thousands like me who have WASTED their engineering degrees,only to realize you can make more money in other fields.
Here are few disadvantages of getting into engineering
1.Difficulty Level – the four years is VERY VERY hard.You will have difficult Maths for 5 continuous semesters.If you are weak with numbers,this will be even more harder for you.Besides maths there are other highly technical subjects like Signal Systems, Electronics, Microprocessor, Analog Digital Circuits etc. These are common subjects for all engineering branches and you cannot escape them.
2.Duration – Most bachelor courses run for 3 years plus maybe one year maximum internship.Most diplomas and certificate courses are 2-3 years at max.Engineering is officially 4 years long,but very few finish it in 4 years.You can safely say that it will take 6 years to complete it and get your B.E degree.This is due to the ATKT in subjects and drop years.
3.Limited Future Scope – Most engineers nowadays do not work as engineers.This is because there are very few limited job options available in any particular engineering branch.For example if you are an electrical engineer passout student,your job profile that you are selected for will maybe include transformers,power systems or something similar.To overcome this and get a higher salary and more job scope,engineers now HAVE TO do an MBA to move into the management side and broaden their job scope
4.Competition form BSc – Many new Bsc degrees,especially in B.Sc I.T and B.Sc Computer science have almost the same syllabus and course curriculum as IT engineering – B.E I.T or B.E Computer engineering.Also they finish the B.Sc course one year earlier,pay lesser fees and the B.Sc course is much easier.So with the same knowledge,employers are also hiring B.Sc graduates as compared to engineers to do the same work.
