Friends,

These days we are busy in interviewing candidates from various fields for our regular requirement. One of the category is young CAs who have recently passed in couple of years back. In most of the cases the candidates were not interested in job profile neither in the reputation of the firm. They we interested only in one thing and that is the Money. The package, package and package. I don't understand what kind of profession breed we are developing who want to earn first then learn. It is the pressure the new professionals carry on their head by  way of huge expenditure incurred in their education. They want to recover the cost first. In the process they don't learn any thing and end up with depression and frustration . These days the value of a person is directly linked with the the package he is getting and nothing else. This is a very dangerous sign and we need to act very fast. We should teach these young generation that learning is a long term investment and directly jumping to earning may be suicidal. There is no need together panic and better sharpen your tools by learning more and more in the initial phase of professional life. In the greed of earning more and more some coaching classes are exaggerating the success and widening the dreams of the candidates so they pay higher fee. This way they are spoiling the candidates to look for nothing but only money at any cost and in the process they fake the CV, build stories and try to prove more than their real achievements.

Similarly the parents are also these days citing packages to prove the one up man ship of their kids. They don't introduce them by their character or profession but only by the company where he is serving or the package he is drawing. If other parents cite less package of their kids, he is happy otherwise he would feel less capable. I fail to under this cultural change which is ultimately dangerous for all. If we treat the kids on the basis of their package, we would never be able to Guide them properly, rather they would not listen or care the parents . Result would be unhappy ending of life, distraction, frustration and so on.

Let us change this by properly guiding  these young highly qualified and capable new generation to people. They can be great asset for the country otherwise equally dangerous liability.
