“You all know what is the condition of the job market. Because of Artificial Intelligence, big tech companies are firing their employees. I was also fired from a big American tech company. For the last two months, I have been continuously applying for jobs, but am not getting any response. I have studied from a Tier-1 college (IIT), I also have referrals, still I do not understand why I am not getting a job.”
“I always feel that MBBS is the safest and most stable field. There is no risk of job loss here, there is 100% job security. Also, one gets a lot of respect in the society. A doctor never remains unemployed, at least he will earn something. And after a few years of experience, it becomes very easy to earn Rs 5-6 lakh per month or even more.”
