That thing called job!

Yesterday I was speaking to a guy roughly 27 years old, a software developer by profession since 6 years. He and his friend joined infosys in 2009, that friend left his IT job in 2011 and joined as a volunteer in a non-profit.


To this scenario the guy I was speaking to said, “He is lucky that he got sorted so early in his life”. I kept thinking about this line. I believe that leaving a job and getting into non-profit is not always a right choice (his friend might have gotten into a right thing) but that does not always happen, you have an equally good chance of doing it wrong as you have of doing it right. Nothing in life comes with a guarantee and pre-decided future. Its you who make things happen.


Not always your daily job is a problem, a lot of times the problem lies in us and our habits. a lot of times we are bound by the shackles of our habits and in-discipline than our jobs.


I feel bad that leaving a job is becoming a ‘cool’ thing, its becoming a fad and its getting into a cult. Leaving a job isn’t always a solution. The thing is a lot of times we get bored by the monotony of the kind of work we do and we look for a radical change, and we tend to believe that this change will come along by leaving a job. This change though is lot of times very superficial. Leaving the job might be the right thing to do but not always, all I am saying is we need to understand ourself first and then check our surroundings. :)

If the change has to come it has to come from within first and without later. :)
