5 signs that you are following a
wrong course
When
you are young you feel like you are doing everything right. Even in the field
of education you do the same. Having a university degree is becoming a status. When
you get into the universities you want to do a course that would bring you to a
bright future. You may consider it as your passion, ambition etc. After
spending thousands of euros, you realize that the course you did, do not add
anything into your life. Then your passion and ambition attached to a course will
slowly disappear. You start thinking of a new approach to life. This happens
because of the changing world.
The advancement of technology that modifies the
life every day cannot stop but move on with increasing the comfort of hard work.
As a result, "robotization" take its roots in all the fields. The world of robots
created a large number of job cuts. Robots function as a replacement for
anything and everything in this world. Even to have a loving companion you can
depend on the robots nowadays. They are programmed in such a way that they
react even better than some of the human beings.
Some
of the very profound professions like doctors, engineers, architects, IT, etc.
are in the top list when it comes to the university studies. A medical student would be thinking that once
he or she has completed the Masters in the chosen field he or she would
directly get into a job. But in reality, it does not happen. Because the need
for real doctors and medical practitioners are getting less and less due to the
replacement of robots which have the capacity to scan better and deduct the
exact reason for an ailment. In the near
future you wouldn’t be surprised if there are scanning robots available at the
entrances of hospitals or even at a
shopping mall where you pay a certain amount of money, and walk in and out, and
get the printed result of your health situation. So where would be the future
of the medical students? Wrong course!
They would have better followed a course that would give them enough strength
to lead a happy and healthy life. Medical education should be oriented towards one’s
own better health and happy life and that should be the aim of future medical
education.
Are
you an IT student? Then, you should be smarter than modern computers. Otherwise
you are just a gamer who plays with digits and data. Your chance of winning the
game depends on your skills and experience. Just having some diplomas in the IT
section do not make you a better gamer. That need full dedication and full
commitment to really out-smart the computers. In this modern world of fun,
music, parties and enjoyments, we miss those dedication and commitment very
often. So, nine out of ten who completed a Masters, in the IT sector, end up
nowhere. Because they just fulfilled the targets of an institution and have the
degrees. Science and technology is something that evolves and it is an ongoing
process, so your understanding about the IT will be outdated at the moment you
have your diploma or masters. Wrong course again! IT education should be future
life oriented and not for performing the already existing situations. It would
be okay if we have agreed together that we stop scientific developments and
live with what we have. But that is not
a viable possibility.
Almost
every day there are a few new apps appearing on the net. Most of them are just
repetitions. Everyone thinks that they made something new and fantastic. But in
reality, they are all copies of the same with a slight retouch. There are many
IT companies already reducing the intake of their new staffs. It is mainly
because most of the functions are automated and robotized. Now what are those
IT specialists just out of the universities going to do with their
Masters? Now the only possibility is to
spend some time in the artificial intelligence. It is still an unrealized
concept. You see some signs of development here and there. And everyone is
interested in the study of artificial intelligence. How many of those who do
their masters in AI would come up with something? May be none. Because it is still
in its developmental stage. Every year hundreds of research papers are out. Half
of the time, energy, money that spent on such researches were diverted to
create a value oriented life, it would have been benefiting humanity much more.
IT
specialization is good but we still have to wait for a very long time for
another Einstein or Isaac Newton to come up with a clear and distinct theory
that would fit with the modern science. Even the theories of Einstein and
Newton from the past are not acceptable anymore completely with the development
of the modern science. So, if you think you can just become an Einstein or
Newton with your University studies you are wrong. It is life that teaches you
more theories, it is life that gives you more experience. The commitment and
dedication, may be time to time a change in it, would result in bringing out something
new. And most of the inventions and discoveries are accidental. There were not
many important inventions that deliberately meant to be so. It all came out as
some bi-products of other experiments.
Are
you an engineering student? Of course, you would think you have a better scope
than a medical or IT student. Yes, that is true. But you are placed with the
most challenging task. A task to make others happy and comfortable. People are
getting bored with the same structures, they are all looking for something new
and more nature friendly. The designs and structures you learned in the
universities may not really match with the needs of the modern world. Comfort,
convenience and eco-friendly creations are your task. But you are still playing
with the same boxes when it comes to the structures. And as a human being you
are incapable of making a bigger change. If you really want to make a change,
then you have to think out of the boxes. And that is a challenge. That will
happen only if you are prioritizing the life values. Your engineering skills should
adapt to the needs of the humanity and that should be in tune with the movement
of the universe.
Are
you a business student? Then what is your plan for the future? Are you going to go with the same business patterns
of the recent past? Most of them are already running short of breath. You have
to find your own ways to create new businesses. And all those businesses should
be in tune with the universe. If you think that you just run a business just
for profit and money and you becoming a millionaire, is the success in your
life, then you are wrong. Humanity is looking for real human beings who cherish
real human values like empathy, compassion, kindness, and love. If your
business does not bring any of these human values or if your business is a
stumbling block in the building up those values, then you are doing a wrong
business and you did a wrong course!
So,
it is time to think of a different educational system, that would really
benefit the lives of individual. An education system that represents humanity. Every
educational institution, when they prefer to prioritize themselves with their specializations,
humanity is deprived of their life values. There was a time when teachers aimed
at the holistic development of their students.
In the course of time when specializations creeped into the education
system, teachers became the slaves of the institutions and they have no choice
other than what is asked them to do. An integral development of the person is
not the priority of the institution, rather it is completion of the target
which is demanded by the institution to supply their certifications. Most of
the institutions are just running by the following regular patterns: application,
selection, agreement, money transfer, target fulfillment, and certification. The
guarantees for a job promised by most institutions remain as a utopia because
the job market is not just looking for certifications. They give priority for
experience. So, a fresh graduate may not reach the neighborhood of a job market
after their graduation.
It
is time to come up with a challenge that makes a change in the education
systems. There was a time when acquiring knowledge was a passion and part of
life. Now sharing of knowledge became a business. The more customers you have the more profit
you make. And business is successful depending on the marketing and advertisements.
