Going for research. Here you have pointed out that research in computer science does not serve to make direct impact on society. I take my courage to object. I am not an expert in computer science field but I feel you have this impression because you have not done enough research on this. In most of the industries, the part of management comes only after engineering. Engineers have to do their part first and then managers need to manage the work done by them suitably.(I admit this is debatable. But I personally respect engineering more than business/management) ANy industrial revolution that you may see in the future(like we saw the Internet revolution in 90s) will need proper research today. It never ends. Also, if you are an academic sort of person, I have heard from many people that to do post graduation is American schools is quite an experience. Why to go for American schools, a friend who is doing ME in IISC on Communication has commented the same.<BR/><BR/>2. To go for teaching :- Which I personally, like most others, feel is the noblest profession. One reason for this is the interest of getting connected to Academics and students all through your life. And the second reason is my passion towards education. I value education more than anything else. I dream once of being an educationalist through which you give something back to society and at the same time the job is intellectually stimulating.<BR/><BR/>Again I have used this space here to chart my personal comments. :-)<BR/>Thanks Ajith for that!Narayanan Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695924027304800454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722566.post-63028844681544316192007-12-07T14:06:00.000+04:002007-12-07T14:06:00.000+04:00Here's a completely non-technical reason: I am so ...Here's a completely non-technical reason: I am so used to earning a decent figure every month that I cannot think of going back to being a pauper student again.<BR/><BR/>Also, I think now I am too old to actually remember enough to pass an exam, given my current memory status.

Engineering was essentially a fight for a decent earning job for me.. <BR/><BR/> About fat paychecks , NO.. thats not the motive atleast in my case..I need a decent financial status..that I have..After that its like profile, self actualization etc..Try googling for Maslow's hierarchy :) ..Ajith Prasad Balakrishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359138218016503252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722566.post-64162667142298967882007-12-07T04:37:00.000+04:002007-12-07T04:37:00.000+04:00Dude...

Or you should have taken something like Biomedical Engineering.<BR/><BR/>I treat your point 7 with a slight apprehension for now, because most of the people who pursued management were after the fat paychecks.
