It is more than 7 years I started working in the technology field and I wonder every day whether I did a right thing by getting into this field. Niether I know this field nor I destined to join but it just happened. If I go back to my old memories, when I was studying my 7th standard in a Govt., Kannada medium school at my village, our teacher was asking each one of us what do you want to become. When my turn came, I just said sir I want to become a teacher because I never knew anything good other than that. I stood 2nd in 7th standard and was a topper in 10th board examination not only for my school but also for the examination center where in 8 to 10 neighboring village school students write the exams from the same center. This changed my life and everybody started pressurizing my parents to send me to study science. Unfortunately I had to go for science though I was interested in history and political science.
At 2nd PUC I did marginally good and I took engineering course as most of my friends were only talking about either medicine or engineering. This time I was influenced by my friends. Honestly while studying engineering I changed my dream of becoming a teacher and wanted to become a politician.
I managed to finish my engineering degree in 4 years and after that options were very less and I couldn't afford to go for any higher studies due to financial constraints. This took me directly to Bangalore and finally I landed in technical job after lots of cycling.
As mentioned in the beginning I have already travelled 7 years in this field and never enjoyed this job and only the money which I get doing this job keeps me going. I feel every day, after 10th should have taken arts subjects(History, political science...) and stayed back at my native which would have given me a platform to do what intended to do.
I wonder every day, did I do a mistake by joining science after 10th standard?
