Engineering jobs do not only mean to make a living but to make world a place of ease
Human life or life of any other living being isn’t as easy as we usually think for instance Lion is a king of jungle and despite being a king he has to make struggle in order to make his living otherwise no animal will kill itself to serve his king. Similarly human life is more difficult than any brute of the jungle because jungle population isn’t bestowed with the conscience but we human are born with this superior pearl.
Before choosing any profession to earn our
livelihood a man has to see various things like whether the remuneration he is
getting is sufficiently enough to meet his expenditure, whether his profession
is noble or bad that cause harm to humanity. But very sadly today man’s most of
the means of livelihood is pocket filler at the cost of hollow spirit as Sam
Keen rightly said that;
“There is no easy formula for determining right and wrong livelihood, but it is essential to keep the question alive. To return the sense of dignity and honor to manhood, we have to stop pretending that we can make a living at something that is trivial or destructive and still have sense of legitimate self-worth. A society in which vocation and job are separated for most people gradually creates an economy that is often devoid of spirit, one that frequently fills our pocketbooks at the cost of emptying our souls.”
In this situation of despair yet there are many professions like engineering jobs that aren’t only respectable ways of earning but are the means to make this world easy place to live in by producing products for the ease of mankind.
In short it is onto a person’s conscience how he makes good use of his abilities by earning upright livelihood along with serving others.
