Encounter with an young Software Lad..

Ok..Here goes an account of my conversation with an young lad, whom I met in a local bus.

me: Hi..It is Indian Alchemist. Nice to meet you.
he: Hi..Its ABC..nice to meet you too..So where do you work?
me: I work in XYZ.
he: Oh great..which platform?
me: PQR
he: oh ok..I work in RST.. and my platform is JHI..(already he is speaking in american accent)..I want to do M.S. and am preapring for that..You know..my job is not that challenging and I am already here for a whole 11 months. And dont want to be here any more..my friends who got the training along with me left after 6 months and are getting upwards of 30 to 40K..How much are you getting?
me: i am getting **K (less than his friends).
he: Oh..how long are you with the company?
me: around 2 years..
he: Oh 2 years..how come..you can ask for a big hike and if they dont give you can jump..For me, they promised that they will give a hike after 6 months and didn't. Ofcourse now they will. But i am not interested to work..They gave me training on Sw1 and I told them that i have not studied that in college and so could not work..But still they gave me work on the same..How can i do?? And its not that great work..I am bored..My friends are telling that be here for one more month and with the name of the company for 1 year you can get a great job which ays around 40K.
me: There are hundreds in my company who completed 5 years and there many who completed even 20 years. Its not a big surprise and I consider my 2 years on lesser side. Oh ok..Which college r u from?
he: GH college of engineering, Bangalore and u?
me: NIT Warangal.
he: NIIT?
me: NO. NIT warangal. Similar to NIT suratkal.
he: oh ok. one of cousin's friend studied in NIT suratkal.
me: Oh..thats great..
he: I got a job in a mobile company too..but my friends and uncle advised me to not to work in that and go for the present company..
me: Ok..yes..Your present company is a good company.
he: Ya..but the pay is not that much..already my friends are earning 40K. and I am not.
me: Ok..
he: Ok man....seems u r sleepy.
me: (what can i say?)

My views: 11 months is to big to a lad who got a campus placement. I am not sure what is going to be the stage of these lads..Who work only for money..Yes ..Even I am working for money and i will definitely not work if they dont pay. But..I respect people here and the system here. I never would say that people at my company are bad..After al I was given an opportunity to prove.

I am afraid that money as the motive to work than the underlying joy of achieving the goal and the purpose will deteriorate the commitment our young generation shows towrds Work..
