Editor’s note – The author, a student at the Delhi University, argues the factors behind the mindset that makes us Indians go crazy for Engineering, medicine and other professional courses. The author tries to explore the historical roots of this bias and also the influence of some factors such as the herd mentality to support his stance and in the end, suggests some solutions.
Author’s note – Through this article, I plan to show the reasons as to why the professions of engineering and medicine are most sought after and what effect it has on other fields of work as well as the aforementioned occupations. Finally, there are also some suggestions for improving the current state of affairs and seeing beyond these ‘professional degrees’.
