In my friends and acquaintances there are many Alumni of the BITS, Pilani. I will pick 2, both are so called “jobless” and not engaged in active employment.
While one chose to resign from an active employment to pursue his plans for life of being a parent to help his kids get their fields of aspiration and later travel to places and make new friends ..and he is an inspiration himself of a person living on his terms and definitions of life.
The other one was exceptionally bright at academics and aspired to do something different. Many employment offers came his way immediately after graduation, but he somehow found some deficiency in each one and he refused each one in search for his dream job. After initial months, he started getting questioned in the interview about his reasons for being unemployed in spite of good academic record and explanations that initially he could offer started appearing shallow and fabricated and within few years after remaining unemployed, he started to loose confidence and he even attempted to work at call centers just to be occupied, the job which he did not like and that added further degradation of his confidence . After few years of such a unproductive period, he started taking up job of a tutor at Coaching Classes that prepare students for entrance to BITS. He is doing fine with his job as a tutor.
