Apologies for top post (bame that on blackberry). As someone has already mentioned my name (udhay), I thought I should speak for myself. My choice of career was influenced by many things, 1) Parental decisions ( this made worse by me topping the entrance exams) 2) Limited career guidance 3) Geograhical location ( hailing from a small town, and not sure of leaving th state - read ragging) 4) Financial independence ( rather lack of it in India) 5) My ignorance/ cowardice A few years in med school, made me take the leap and I did secuirty/cryptography since when I left med school. Along the way got the credntials for being what I wanted to be (degrees/time spend in research instiutes, papers etc). I hope someday I might be able to get some value add out of the time spend in med school. That is my humble take on situation ------Original Message------ From: Srini RamaKrishnan Sender: [email protected] To: [email protected] ReplyTo: [email protected] Subject: Re: [silk] Alternative careers Sent: 2 Oct 2009 11:19
