Jinnah and Dow medical schools have been piling with medical student. And in the off timings, on my way back, I saw the universities, practically vomiting out the students. At first I thought holy lord, everyone wants to be a doctor? Than I passed Indus valley and I saw that it was quite small. Old and well known as it was, they did not expand the campus yet. No one wanted to be an artist? I knew a lot of people who would die to be an artist. What happened?
This all led to the one conclusion that we yet did not specialise in rare fields. Sure commerce may have expanded but what about fields like art? Let us take microbiology for instance if you want something productive than entertaining? Have we even specialized in commerce as well?. People with rare or specialized degrees are teachers in universities and not all are teaching on their choices. Why aren't they practicing in their professional fields? They would be more useful there. I am not saying that no one gets a chance but that chances are quite few. But we also have a reason for that. The mindset can change if specialized fields get opportunities as well.
Poverty is a common problem in a country where unfair distribution and circulation of money due to corruption occurs. One such example we hold where, due to terrorist activities, and because of a world wide recession, the life here crumbles apart for all young dreamers who collected and counted every penny to get in a particular place, to map out their life in a way they want. Now because of the current situations, all these children have to opt for something cheaper and more affordable that may at least promise them the basic necessity thus crumbling their desires to play a role they always yearned for. Some say that the dedication and hard work will get you whatever you want but this may not always be the case. We look up at the world leaders who were even less educated than us, yet who fought through the hardships. This may be a good practise to set such an example. Well, those were the tough single minded people who knew what the had to do and did them at any cost.
Not all humans are alike. What about those sensitive minds who may not be able to compete in fields where a job is guaranteed? What if they are not equipped to compete? This will be like throwing a young deer to a pack of hungry wolves and commanding him to evade and escape without being trained. Do you think every deer will be successful?
Such tortured students along with the peer pressure may already have a hard time sorting out their current priorities much less setting their future straight. After all they are young minds high on adrenaline and emotions without any exposure themselves and living off on advises given to them by their elders and tutors. How much can they handle? Everyone should handle, and be authoritative than be in an agentic state. But not everyone may find it suitable to make a cost benefit analysis at such harsh times and than struggle for a place where already well qualified candidates may have lined up for and are ready to grab any empty space available. They will be standing there lost and confused and by the time they understand the situation, they might have to live off on the leftovers. It would be quite a blow on one's self confidence.
Recession alone can not pull and hinder all the progress but added suppression, corruption, society pressure, and terrorist activities being a cheery on top can greatly contribute to such situation. Especially with the unorganised circulation and record of money circualting, not everyone is getting the benefits they rightfully deserve. If this along with the threat of getting shot or bombed any moment goes away than at least those young minds can explore and get the exposure without getting blown to pieces.
This way those tired and frustrated medical students who intended to do something else may get the freedom to do something else. Medical hospitals than will be able to pay enough to those doing house jobs and maybe get more time to focus on the hygienic measures. And perhaps that art school and many other research labs and colleges might expand and update themselves.
