Adjusting in a room with wanna be doctors and engineers is a hell frustrating. I respect both professions and people who pursue them as they play an important role in our society and its development. But why the hell do I have to fit in with them? Why do I have to take the road taken by all? While I want to make my own road and follow my own heart. This is not just a situation faced by me but there are many people around me who are also stuck in the same dilemma. Its the scream of many souls who crave for some change.
In some cases parents do not support their child's choice which is definitely not in my case. I am lucky because my parents are with me on pursuing my goals. However majority of parents control the interests of their children.
If we tell our different ideas to anybody, first they will be shocked, then irritated by our thinking and then they will conclude that we are acting childishly.
But the real truth is that we are not joking at all. We are utter serious. Our schools and colleges, alas!, are not providing solid support. They don’t provide teachers for other subjects except sciences. Also they after hearing your ideas will react like you are a clown with red noses. That’s the big encouragement we get at the end...........uhn!!
Universities also are playing the same tune. In the universities if you pass the entry test in golden marks you get into the engineering, medical and other sciences departments (being enrolled as if you are an intelligent and are on the right track. If you don’t, you are a loser and a big fool) and the losers are thrown into the departments like social sciences, arts and language etc. That’s how our society deals with the junk, according to their orthodox point of view).
Perception about the students who really are interested in these so called junk subjects, is also really discouraging. If somebody says that she has an ambition to be a cook or a veterinary doctor majority of people after listening that will just make fun and laugh out loud. Its there way of telling us that we daft as a brush.
Oh God!.. When are they going to change their illiterate attitude? I know that InshaAllah I will carry out my plans one day.I do pray and hope to get over these hurdles between and face the music with daring determination because I wanna be different!!

I am a free-spirited ambitious person! I am interested in writing,social sciences,history,archeology ,anthropology& English literature!!!!
Awe, You know, so is the case with me.. I like psychology, photgraphy, accounting and many subjects like these. . Unluckily, we barely get to see the students heading the way of their own interests.. I reckon, our society don't offer you such a change, those who are up for it often are de-tracked by the discouragement. . I pray we get outta this hell asap.. ^^

ReplyDelete@ tahira!! yeah we are chnaging and the the society too but very slow!they still have grudges against the change!thanxx...........:-)
ReplyDelete@Khushbakht: I agree with you on opting for desired choices rather than continuing with the same orthodox stereotypes. In our country it has remained a dilemma over the years because of illiteracy and no research and development in Universities. As a result we end up with very few choices at the end of the day. Also there is no career Counseling at school and college level. This is the department which encourages students to opt for their desired choices and allowing them to ponder on other choices. Keeping politics aside, we owe a lot to Mr. Prevez Musharraf for encouraging Dr. Ata-ur-Rahman of Ministry of Information and Technology. Dr. Ata-ur-Rahman boosted and encouraged Information Technology. We can see now people are opting to other departments related to Technology. Computer Department and its subsidiaries have given us other opportunities for example booming Telecom Industry. This is just one example.
ReplyDeleteWhen I passed Intermediate, I opted for Department of International Relations. A Department, neither anyone knew about nor was willing to consider. It was Medicine and Engineering, that were the only choices. When I got admission, I felt like I committed a mutiny. Since then I have faced an enormous pressure and discouragement.
So your thoughts are really a refreshing touch. I used to have same feelings. I commend and appreciate you for keeping these ideals alive. We need people like you who can opt for other fields rather than going towards conventional choices.
@ sir thanxx for liking my point of view!!
