Life in a cubicle - Beware!

                 Over the past few months and even at the latest occurrences, I’ve had to listen to the problems and worries that engineering graduate’s face. Obviously the world is in an arena of cut throat competition. But when parents try to clash their egoistic interest and competitiveness, their children do suffer the most. Is there any immediate effort on the part of parents to understand what their child has passion in? 95% parents aren’t concerned because they look upon the societal status.

This is like when you ask a high school graduate, ‘What next?’

Recurring reply, ‘Engineering or Medicine’

Did someone cast a spell on these parents that their children would be safe and secure in the field of engineering?

I’ve heard from those who started their engineering career as mere boring! Sometimes it gets on to the nerves and pulls down your entire mental stamina. I know ‘n’ number of people who still regret being in their profession. While some just need an engineering graduate degree, others spend their lives calculating the arithmetic progression of their lives inside the cubicles.

The culture of cubicles – similar to the working of bees and the set-up of a bee-hive. A load of work with unending dissatisfaction and a drive to pursue something different. Only which may hold them back is the need for money to support their family.

There was this guy who once told me, ‘Working in a cubicle is like you are put in a jail with some punishment over it. You keep on doing it until you become something deranged.’ He also adds, ‘I eagerly wait for the time to jump off my glued seat to head back home.’

And I’ve known for the past years, those who have had the guts to quit their cubicle life and end up doing stuff they are passionate in.

Analyze yourself first… Why a cubicle life for me?

Avoid these usual cliches in life. Be productive and stand out to be someone different and not like those eye drooping cubicle dwellers.
