Everyone knows what recession is by now.. Ask a 10-year old, and even he may give you the answer!! Such is the impact of the word, the phenomenon that has gripped the world. And we in India, they say, are not too affected. It's just the west that is reeling under "recession pressure".
Then how come no company is willing to recruit us?? Why is our batch,the 2010 passout batch, termed- The worst affected ??
We students have been the sufferers of probably the worst recession of all times.. And what do we get as consolation?
The opportunity to become a post graduate, as i don't have a job!The opportunity to be the first group of students to experience CAT online!!Lucky US....I admit CAT has never been predictable, but don't you think this sudden change is too much of a damper?
I mean,one, you won't have a job.
two,you have a lesser chance of cracking CAT unless adequately prepared.
three, even if you do crack CAT,people with work experience will be preferred over you,a fresher..
What does everyone expect us to do? We are freshers who don't have jobs for no fault of ours.. As we don't have a job, we have lesser chances of studying at a premier B-school. As we can't study there, we won't get a decent job and hence, are back to square one!!!!
A Vicious Circle.... And whom does it affect? 3 guesses? Yes.... US.One particularly unfortunate batch.
Why US????
[P.S. The situation May Not be as grim as it has been portrayed, but yes, this batch is unfortunate for sure....And US means us.... and not the US of A as some might assume..]
one solution cud be an independent economical structure in india..our neo-liberal policies have made the situation so grim that when USA sneezes thousands of our people are handed pink slips in sectorV..there is only one way out..a new economy absolutely independent of other foreign capitalist economies....
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what you had all these days in Bengal - and look where it brought Kolkata. An independent economy is an oxymoron - things are always interlinked. Now if only Kolkata still had a lot of industries like it used to, they may have let some employees go during this recession. But the reality is that they all closed down ages ago, not because of a recession but because of a similiar "indepent economy" that celebrated the HM Ambassador as a technological marvel.
