A Dialogue among three students on opting career option


Samir                     : Hi Jagadish!
Jagadish                 : Hi Samir! How are you?
Samir                     : I am fine dude, thank you. How about you?
Jagadish                 : I am fine too. What’s up? Err… Who is he?
Samir                     : Oh! He is my cousin, Kishor. Kishor, meet my schoolmate, Jagadish.
Kishor                    : Hi Jagadish!
Jagadish                 : Hi Kishor!
Samir                     : Kishor has just completed his Intermediate and he wishes to do B.Tech course.
Jagadish                 : Oh, I see.
Samir                     : He is unable to decide which branch he is supposed to opt.
Jagadish                 : Okay.
Samir                     : As you too are a B.Tech student and as you’re in final year, I request you to 
                                suggest Kishor in this regard.
Jagadish                 : Of course! Certainly man. Err… What is your score in Inter, Kishor?
Kishor                   : I got 950 marks bro.
Jagadish                : Very good. What is your EAMCET rank?
Kishor                   : I got 2000 rank, bro.
Jagadish                : Excellent! Your academic track is very nice. By the way what is your area of 
                               interest?
Kishor                   : Actually I am interested in handling/dealing with mechanical gadgets and I like                                     to know how the engine of motor bike works.
Jagadish                : I see.
Kishor                   : And I want to work on improving the mileage of the bikes as I like bike driving a lot.
Jagadish                : Perfect! So it is crystal clear to say that you had better choose mechanical                                             engineering with which all your interests will be fulfilled/achieved.
Samir                     : Actually you are right Jagadish. But the thing is, Kishor is told by others that in                                    the present times the boom is in software field.
Jagadish                : That’s okay. It may be right. So?
Samir                     : Based on this information on software field, Kishor wants to join CSE branch.
Jagadish               : Oh! Is it?
Kishor                   : Yes bro. But … my heart is in mechanical engineering. So I am in dilemma as I             am unable to decide my branch now.
Jagadish               : Fine. See, Kishor. Software field really has boom now, but it does not mean                  mechanical engineers do not have job opportunities.
Kishor                   : I see.
Jagadish               : There are plenty of job opportunities for mechanical engineering students. If you          study well, this field gives you a great career.
Kishor                  : Okay.
Samir                    : He (Jagadish) is right I think. As you are interested in dealing with mechanical              gadgets, mechanical engineering is a good career option for you.
Kishor                  : Hmm. Okay.
Jagadish               : The fact is, one should study a field which one is passionate about pursuing it.
Kishor                  : Yes! Your words are really convincible to me. It sounds like a good suggestion              bro.
Jagadish               : Don’t worry man. I am, being a mechanical engineering student, 100% sure that            you will have a great career with mechanical engineering.
Samir                   : He is right Kishor. As of our conversation, I too feel that mechanical engineering          is good a option for you.
Kishor                  : You both seem right in your words bro. If I join mechanical engineering, as I am            to interested in it, I can keep my heart and soul in it.
Jagadish               : Absolutely! If you study well right from your first semester, nobody can stop your
                                success.
Samir                    : Perfect! So all the best Kishor!
Kishor                  : Thank you Samir, Thank you Jagadish. I am really grateful to both of you for               your valuable suggestions.
Jagadish               : You are welcome man.
Samir                   : Okay. It’s time to leave.
Kishor                  : It was really a nice talking to both of you.
Jagadish               : Nice talking to you too.
Kishor                  : Have a good day bro. Bye!
Jagadish               : Have a good day. Bye Kishor. Bye Samir.
Samir                   : Bye man.
