@rabia,varuni its easy to tell IT industry is not good. Understand one thing.if ur able to sit and type like this and interact with people whom u have not seen u owe it to IT industry. Ur SM u owe it to this industry. Ur mobile phone,data connection, uber,irctc,internet banking to every little thing that has brought comfort to u or reduced ur work it is because this industry is there and someone is working there. Most important an industry that gave women more say in their lives,build their confidence,opened more than million direct and indirect jobs,which redefined india's position in world economic map don't tell u hate it. Because if u really hate it don't use the facility it has given u. I come from that industry yes like every industry has its flaws but then I am happy that i worked there as it was a good experience. And please don't mould ur children on what they should do. Give them enough choice so that they can choose what they want. This one think I am thankful to my parents. In a heavy patririachial community where girls were either teachers or bank clerks they allowed their daughter to study technology to be an engineer. They didn't put their opinion on me and because of that even today I stand with independent thoughts
I am not hating people who work in it dear .but somehow I don't like IT ...yes all these technology made us more connected ..thanks for that to IT
Even gals were doctors before IT came ..half of the doctors are women ..even in banking more women .only in civil and mechanical gals were less and there's a reason for it ..I can unDERSTAND u r concern ..since u cane ftom patriarchal set up
BUT my family r liberal from past one generation .,so I don't think about that much and may be I can't understand also ..
I don't want my children to chose engineering or technology ..I know it's kind of imposing ..that's why I try to develop interest for them in other areas medical commerce etc
I know it's wrong but I can't help it
Tomorrow in spite al my efforts if they chose eng or IT I will leave up to them though I will express my displeasure
