Guest guest Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Namaste, I do not usually come to astrolgers for consultation despite believing in it.But I am in a state of perpetual confusion.Further certain events have eroded my confidence,despite myself being proud of what I can achieve.Then again there is a further confusion because, I feel all material achievements are any way of no use,and the best thing would be to quickly settle in life and focus on the spiritual. Let me put my background- 1.I was a guy recognized by friends as knowledgable,but as of now suceeded in proving nothing but completing an engineering degree,and a job in one of the biggest Indian software company. 2.About an year back,I got an oppurtunity to do my post graduation in IIT.I was so disillusioned with life,that I wanted to achieve something higher,so I did not take it up(despite being seriously interested in research, especially that related to programming). 3.Never was I able to be a topper,despite being recognized,by even my class toppers as a good solver problems(myself solved problems that they sometimes could not). 4.The job I joined did not prove as challenging I wanted,neither does there seem to be scope for quick jumps in salary.I get irritation that people less intelligent than me are doing research or earning more money.Further frustration is there,since I am worried that with my salary I may not even be able to marry a girl that is intelligent and satvic.Today girls want husbands who earn more than rs.50000,a month. Thus the options before me are the following. 1.Even though it may be a little late,I could join postgraduation(In IIT OR iisc,foreign education not affordable) 2 years from now(in a course related to software,more in continuity with what I am doing in job) or immediately this june(in a course more related to hardware).But would it make sense,if I dont pursue the logical end,and do a phd,since research companies prefer a phd,no point in doing mtech just for another non research job.If i were to proceed for phd ,it might become too late to marry and settle.That would be difficult,as I would like to dedicate my middle ages to spirituality.Once I know my career is set,I want to focus on spirituality,after all,who knows how long I could live. 2.Do an MBA AFTER 2 YEARS.But i am afraid of facing the interviews,as I have felt that people dont have the patience to listen to a boring talk of mine,I talk too slowly,stammer sometimes,and put some points which are not understood or appreciated by people.Only when people get into intimate conversations with me do they understand that I am really talking something highly intellectual,unusual,but undoubtedly insightfull and deep.Thus I am afraid how far a non research job would suit me,that too a job which involves superficial communication with people.I am also peculiar,for instance,I might not eat anything in a party where non vegetarian food is served,as I feel that something somewhere could have been mixed up.ALL this and more create problems when I try to socialize. 3.The 3rd option is to,Continue with my job and hope to grow very gradually ,without feeling jealous of others who earn more,and accept a wife,that destiny has chosen you for,even if she might not be very intelligent. These are my options,and I would like to know which of the three would be better suited to me.
