Education as a Wonderful Career in a New Style & Fashion

By: Shanjoy Mairembam *


"Where there is a will, there is a way". Yes, It sounds good & interesting.

Innovative thinking supported by a strong faith to practically implement the thought is the key to achieve self-dignity & value of the Education received so far. Literally, "Education" means imparting the knowledge about something so as to get freed from ignorance. The focus of this article is on self-analysis of what one can do from the Education so far received in various fields of our academics, and considering "Education" as an exciting Sport rather than a boring subject meant for only intellectuals.

Educational systems are in place in every country so as to impart knowledge to the required individuals. It is the effort of every country to update the prevailing Education System so that their citizens can take the country forward creating a wonderful place to live on this Earth. It will be wrong to view the Educational System as the only way to get one's source of income of surviving.

Every kid from most families are sent to schools, and then, to colleges, and then, to Universities to learn many courses on various fields. Every family does in turn do expect their wards to get a job after completion of the courses so as to support the family. In such current way of thinking towards the prevailing Education System; everyone of us view "Education" as a boring duty but unavoidable approach to get a job in future for a living in the society.

Here, It's worth reminding, "When Innovative Thinking stops, the purpose of having one's Brain simply dies; and thus, the concept of dignity for status of human superiority to other living being doesn't apply to that individual any more."

As we know clearly from the literal meaning of "what Education is", we should be viewing "Education" as an amazing sport event via which one can show dignified leadership over the rest of the others; or which one can achieve the celebrities status like those of Movie Actors & Fashion Models"; or which one can feel maximum fun & enjoyment out of the implementation of the creative Ideas gained via the Education; or which, in short, one can shape the future of any person.

Indeed, the concept being put forward is too hi-fi, but if one tries to do self-reasoning, the concept holds true and practical. It just needs to change one's mentality & thinking approach from the general process to something different.

Every system is not full proof & everyone has to understand that there is always a way to improve. The Educational system that we have currently is fully tested one and been going on for a long time giving known results. So, we should not be changing just like that because we feel something good today based on some facts.

This article is about the feasible thoughts that one can do out of the current system. As we all can see that - in spite of studying in various professional courses like Engineering, Medicine, etc & many other courses like General Science, General Arts, etc and many more; all students can't get job or, in short, they can't get the chance to utilize the knowledge out of the learning received so far.

Here, one has to remind self - "Dreaming for a wonderful career via a proper Education is not the only way of living in one's life; there are many more important events in life to share & feel with". Getting Education via schools, colleges are just a part of life, and what life is all about is - how we can live happily with secure mind with our families in the society.

A comparison can be brought between sport & Education - that is - A few sport persons get the medal of success out of luck & hard-work; but millions of sport persons get rusted due to unavoidable injuries & unlucky fates in their careers; Likewise, even though we all go to schools & colleges, and study the same subjects under the same faculties, only a few of us get the intended job out of the courses, while many of us get rusted here & there.

We hear a lot of celebrities in the Fashion World - Miss World, Mrs India, Miss Universe, etc. Modelling People are showing off new ideas and shaping their bodies & dresses to instil a sense of attraction & craziness to follow the similar trends by many of us, so thus creating their own market to exist. Those in the Fashion World & those who are in sink with the modern Fashionable items are considered as High Class people who have higher value of life than the normal citizens in our society. These are the concepts currently prevailing and it is the concept we create; but to be frank, we can create a new concept like "Education as a Wonderful Career in a New Style & Fashion ".

In simple words, 'Business' literally means dealing with something to get something out of the Market being created for personal benefit & profit; and, 'Market' literally means the scope of business where the business deals are being conducted. In every field of career (let it be Fashion modelling, Sports, Architecture, Farming, Engineering, Medicine, pottery, etc), it is the educational institutions & the educational systems that have huge market areas to get profit. There are many well-learned Graduates in many courses in our Educational System.

Starting from conducting Tuition for students to the lowest level of thought, Education can be considered as a lucrative business market. Here, the only concepts required are the technical skills on that particular course and a business mind-set. Running an engineering college, or a medical college, or a simple school, or a Coaching centre, etc is booming up like anything in India and abroad. All these are due to the understanding of many Business mind-set people with regards to "Education".

Some people do just look for profit rather than quality of the education that is going to be imparted to the students. For taking up Education as a career option, one needs not to get passed out of the Institutes like Harvard, Oxford, IITs, IIMs, etc; but one needs to prepare how to get the maximum profit out of the resources in front of the individual. Yes, ideas learnt on those prestigious institutes will be helpful; but it is the individual who dare think beyond those institutes.

We can remember these few reasoning's - "Who says every scientist comes only out of the high class institutes", "Who says only Doctors, Engineers, MBA graduates are intellectuals superior to the rest of the others", "Who says someone who hasn't got enough proper education can't become Business Tycoons", "Who says if one doesn't able to go to good schools or colleges, life is dark forever", "Who says every high income family belongs to those who have done only professional courses like Engineering or Medicine, etc" and many more.

So, the idea of this article is to let ourselves know that Education is a better means but not the least, to get the idea how shall we shape our career & future to do business. One needs not to wait for the others to change or follow some new ideas. One needs not questions to the others why they don't try to implement those new ideas first & prove to the rest so as to follow.

It is indeed, we, ourselves, who needs to change, who needs the ideas, for the better of our future & create new career, meaning new business. In short, we can think in this way like - other people are already in good business and it is we who need to create new niche out of their markets to do business for our own profit. There are many innovative ideas already available around us; but the choice is up to the person to decide which one triggers one's passion.

Well, its time to think a bit different in our approaches, as it is time for the survival of the fittest. It's time for a new world "Era of Intelligence & Innovations".
