India of my dreams is a place where there’s an IIT for every Harvard and a Narayan Murthy for every Bill Gates. Where youngsters don’t hop aboard a plane to US for their dream job, rather stay back in their homeland and work for its welfare. An India, where those not related by blood are united by beliefs. By their love & not separated by faith or color; where it’s not a crime to wed out of ones community, where millions aren’t stashed in Swiss accounts rather with every individual. India

My Dream Job I guess my dream job would be a combination of things. I don’t like just sitting at a desk. I need to get up and move around. I guess it would be a helpdesk role along with a systems administrator and a network administrator. I enjoy working with people hence the helpdesk role. I like the freedom to move around of the helpdesk role. Network administration is the most challenging of the roles. System admin is probably the most mundane of all. The helpdesk requires you to go to a person’s

work in the area of your interest, or get very far for that matter. Luckily, some people have found their dream job and have not required a university degree, but this is the exception, not the rule. An example of this is my mother, she has a medical degree from a technical school and she loves her job. She goes to villages that cannot even be accessed by car, and she is so committed to her job and helping others that she has been doing it for over thirty years. She wanted to go to college, but sadly

people give reference to the “American Dream”. The American Dream is a happy and successful way of life that is achieved through hard work with stability as the outcome. Considering the evolution of things that is going on today, the American Dream seems to be far out of reach. Growing up, it was drilled in my head that to be successful, to own the home that I want, to not live paycheck to paycheck, and to live comfortably, I must continue to increase my education. I had to go to a college
