Listening to a radio show last evening themed on the Pakistani youth I got flashes of the legions of youngsters that I come across every now and then in different job interview spots, waiting for their turns to be interviewed and grab whatever chances they are offered to be employed.
The glimpse that I mentioned above, to my knowledge, have multiple reasons behind it. There is an abundance of the talented graduates who have cropped out of the system but they cannot be absorbed in the job market accordingly. Graduates having studied subjects like literature in different languages, Islamic Studies and even social sciences to some extent aren't accepted into the fold of companies rendering professional services. If they can't be fitted into any of the professional organizations then why are they graduated in the first place? or why isn't there something where they can be readily accepted to mature and groom?
The second mix of the individuals represent the higher numbers and can be found at most of the interview locations. Most of them serve in different capacities but aren't satisfied with their present jobs most obviously due to their low remuneration packages against the ever increasing inflation. This portrays a darker picture of our failing economic system.
The last component of the desirees are the most unfortunate; the unemployed professional degree holders. They are the cream of our youth who are waiting to be given a chance to prove their mettle and if given proper opportunities they can prove the more uttered and less practiced adage of our leaders, “ youth are the backbone of the nation “. I've rarely seen a job advertisement where there isn't a demand of an individual without the column of 'the professional experience'. How the hell would they acquire it when you aren't ready to get them in?
While coming across the budding talent of Pakistani youth can be a source of pure contentment for an optimist one cannot deny the fact that our youth is fast disenchanting from the national matters courtesy their ill handling in our society. Brain drain is on a rampage. There are serious issues to ponder on part of our policy makers lest we would be devoid of our hopes.

iv probably wasted alot of my time n energy fretting over things which i had no control over.
But having said that, i am still to act upon, wat iv all said, for myself........... :(
Theres an other thing Badluck and I know only it.
BTW where have you been? I have been searching for YOU....lols
Secondly adil as for doing job related to what you have studied....... well i switched to another field after two years of my initial job. i did'nt have any degree or experience of what i started to do, but now i love this scope of work and intend to make my career in it, or until i decide to switch again. Its not necessary to have experience in the field you wish to join. From my many experiences, i believe companies look for individuals with spark who can prove they can do it even though they may never have done a job related to that.
And now when i conduct interviews i do also look for the positive energy of a person (the can do attitiude) and not just filled sheets of his/her CV.
Now should we should do in an envoirnment like this? serious issues!
On a serious note, it's indeed ironic how, in our social system, sooner or later one is made to choose between his/her passion and (prospective) profession.
