Why Am I Taking Engineering?

Ask yourself: Did my parents push me, or am I taking this voluntarily?

If your parents pushed you, then have a conversation with them. It’s not going to be as bad as you think. After all, they are your parents. Don’t just convince them; prove to them that you can do it.

If you voluntarily decided to join engineering, then congratulations! It's going to be the most wonderful four years of your life.

The Challenges Ahead

The problems you faced or are currently facing won't end after you choose to pursue engineering. They will only be replaced by better and more difficult problems. It is important to introspect about what you are really here for. Otherwise, there is a high chance that you will break down in the middle and quit.

What Do You Want to Get Out of These Four Years?

Ask yourself: placements, friends, memories, grades, relationships, trying drugs? The list goes on. Just take a piece of paper and write it down. You don’t need to judge the things you write because they are only your thoughts, not you.

Everyone is different in their own terms, and their requirements will also be different. There is no right path or wrong path; the main thing is that you know what you want.

Advice for Students Choosing an Engineering College

Engineering is not all about placements, so don’t just judge a college based on the placement percentages they advertise. Those are just numbers, and numbers can be easily manipulated.

You need to consider what will be your ROI (Return on Investment). This will be different for everybody. Engineering colleges teach you more about yourself than about engineering. You might have heard, "Engineers can do everything except engineering." To some extent, it’s true because you get to know yourself more in those four years. You might realize that engineering is not your thing, or maybe you will fall in love with engineering. The possibilities are endless. The main things you will need to survive those four years are curiosity and the will to explore. You need to consider whether the college you choose will provide you with the necessary facilities to help you grow into a better human being.

Living Your Best Life
