14 Reasons On Why Engineering ?

It has been Three years that, I have graduated from my Engineering College. Life has come a long way since then and yet there are miles to go ahead.
In my very short ongoing journey in the corporate jungle; I am blessed to meet people from various streams, attributed to the melting pot nature of the IT Industry. Yes, you guessed it right fellas, I am a Computer Engineer like the scores of other Comp Geeky guys!! :P ;)

In my journey so far, I always wondered why did I choose Engineering and what did Engineering gave me in return.  

The wise say:-

An Engineer cannot be judged by his grades.

The above line doesn't means that I have poor grades duh!!.

There are many qualities that an engineer possessees, but might not found in his CV.  Below are few of those qualities that gives the engineer an extra edge over others the Edge-neers.

1. Career Scope

An engineer can become anything they want, software developer, bank manager, IAS officer, Business manager or even a B.P.O. assistant. they have got the dexterity to do anything.

2. Values

There won't be anything called "Hot chick" in engineering college hence they understand their value and start respecting every girl.

3. Working under pressure

Even though he (might have) never experienced "One Night Stand" ever but he knows how to survive examinations via "One Night Studies"

4. Determination

Engineers love to sleep, but they never go to bed early. Nights are not made to be spent sleeping, lectures are ;-)

 

5. Meticulous

Engineers are not lazy they are just highly motivated to procrastinate.

6. Kindness

Engineers love everybody, apart from their faculty, project head, Deans, scientists, new boyfriend of their ex-girl friends, authors of their curriculum books, power cutoffs and slow internet.

7. Team Work

Team Projects and group seminars might have failed to teach them this quality but mass-bunks and proxy attendance will surely teach the value of team work.

8. Maturity

Engineers get to know that world is full of dishonest people, when they join the college just because they have read the words like lavishing infrastructure, supporting faculty, 100% placements in their college brochures. Also when they get to know that girl's photo they saw on brochure doesn't exist.

9. Network and Relations

None of the relatives or any friend's mom ask them before but once they graduate everyone calls them at their home (so that they can fix their table fans, mixers or radio transistors).

They recognize people with the mobile phone they carry and their laptop configurations rather than their names or faces.

10. Fast Learning

Even highly qualified faculty might have failed in teaching them a topic, but he will remember every word of it when his friend dictates it before entering the examination hall.

11. Learn by Fun

Playing tic tac toe during class, late night counter strike tournaments, watching T20 with friends and completing Angry birds stages during lab sessions gave engineers more competence than any other sport.

12. Sacrifice

Two engineers saw a hot chick in mall,

First Guys Reaction: ABE dekh be, Gazab !!

Second Guys Reaction: jaane de yaar aukat ke bahar hai.

Engineers also sacrifice their clean shaved look, to look more hard-working during exams for self motivation.

13. Resource Managements

Engineers know that a 3G connection and 4Gb pen drive is the first requirement before preparing for practical exams. Engineers know the value of every single bar in Wifi connectivity symbol and phone batteries.

14. Staying Healthy

Engineers never compromise with their health, they stay fit and immune due to regular dosage of Maggi and backed-samosa. Having food at Punjabi dhaba and tea at extra-(un)hygienic Gumti is the part of their diet.

I remember this saying to my Non Engineering Friends

Engineering is not just a degree... it teaches you the way of living life like a warrior. Engineering gives a perception and attitude. It teaches you the trick to survival.

So Guys Next time you meet an engineer, show some respect… don't ask his grades instead offer a friendly hi-five or a Buddy-Punch or Even Better Date Him!!!!
