~~Why on the earth i took plain Bsc?~~
(An article for those people who are confused of BSc as career)
(this post is not about "not joining engineering", but its about why BSc science?)
After I gave my secondary level board examination, I had to choose one faculty among Science, commerce and Arts as my junior level college subject... Everyone suggested me to opt for science but I had a different plan because I knew Science was not my cup of tea. I never could learn how magnetic fields are produced, nor could I understand the procedure of preparing ammonia. With some nightmare I managed to recite the names of 205 bones, but getting familiar with other biological terms used to be a new reason for frequent headache.Physics was tough for me, chemistry was tougher and biology was toughest. But even with all these odds, I was one who had left every one far behind in the subject of mathematics.
Soon our results were declared, and I passed missing distinction with a few marks. To be school topper in mathematics was a reward for my hard work, but what surprised me more was my score in science where I had scored above my aggregate marks. Now it was the time for choosing which road I should follow for my future career: Science, commerce or arts? Forget about my school toppers, my friends who had scored “hanging first division marks”, were also opting for Science. My teachers were expressing the science field in such a way that I felt as if I have entered a five star hotel and I am standing in front of delicious food which had watered my mouth. I couldn’t resist myself from directing towards that table; I thought the span of a few years doesn’t really mattered to me to taste it. I felt I was ready.
On the very first day of junior college, our teachers had warned us- ‘you opted for science in senior secondary, but don’t dare to try it after completing this level, because you will join the path of plain BSc, and you will struggle more in life.’ My hearts also second those thoughts and as other science student, I was determined to be an engineer.
After few hurdles and struggle, I passed senior secondary level in first division. It took complete 5 years to achieve this, and in these duration, I even didn’t dreamed of opting for Bsc because I had faith in my abilities and I was sure, I wouldn’t be joining the “group of struggles and failures” But life never goes on the way we direct. And one nightmare can change the whole phase of life; I knew it and I even experienced it.
Because of some carelessness in studies, and some problems pertaining documents, the way to become an engineer was blocked. This wasn’t the end of life, and with the ability to take a few breaths, I moved ahead with the thought that I can still live a longer life.
I was always assured myself that instead of science, I can show my talent in commerce and perhaps best I can be in Arts, because I was always inclined towards accounts, economics, sociology and literature. So, to get admission for graduation level, I kept my option open for every field, but not for plain bsc !!
My percentage of 64% was not sufficient to give me a ticket of either commerce or arts class room, and again with a hopeless mind, I had to join plain BSc, blaming every invisible supreme power for giving me such a poor future! Yeah, I meant the poor future because I felt “bsc science was the end of a journey”.
But as I start going college, I got to know the different opportunities open for a bsc graduate. There were some friends with distinction marks in senior secondary level just because they were determined themselves for some specific field in higher education. This gave me the huge relief that God had answered my previous question of joining technical line not by “yes”, even not by “yes, soon in the future” but he answered by saying, “there is better one for you coming soon”. . I had enrolled myself in the first year with subject physics –maths -stats. And with the help of my teachers, I could again prepare myself for the new destination and a stable future where in horizon, life is found more successful and much beautiful.
Bsc science is itself a promising field where we can find wide range of variation in scope. So because of many opportunities available here, provided we engaged ourselves with hard work and efficiency, we can get many scopes both for education and career in future. From life science to geology, from scientist to lab assistant and from statistician to mathematician and even in general field, bsc can be happily accepted.
I am assured of my future now, but at times I have to answer people, who still call plain bsc as a failure. They ask me “Why on the earth did you joined Bsc”? Sometime I try explaining them, sometime I feel; there isn’t a need for any explanation.
Today’s youth might have diverted their mind towards engineering and medical sciences, it’s their own choice. But what makes me worried is that they ignore BSc. Getting admission in Medicine and engineering is not a tough job, but when it’s about our future, we always find a few struggles in every corner of the world.
Let not take Life towards that crowd which world is following. But let us lead to that direction where we can make ourselves and lead the crowd one day. Every subject has its own importance and if we are faithful to it, we can be successful in our individual field, either that be learning any regional language or being high class technician. For upcoming students, all the best for your future and enjoy your academic life. If we have hope of continuing the journey to heaven even after death, then how can plain bsc be the end of our journey?
For those who are not convinced, all I can say is just have passion and look forward, there will be thousands of success stories which will answer your question, and “why on the earth did I join plain bsc!”
