I have noticed that youngsters these days are less interested in regular jobs and more interested in off beat jobs. We can hear every other youngster talking about following his/her dream and willing to do something which is different from the regular job. Though for some people being an IT profession is cool as well as passion but many think of various alternatives. We never know about the future of such alternative jobs.

 

Do you think such cool alternative jobs which are hot fav among youngsters have a bright future?

I am not sure about many such cool jobs. I do not know if a person can be bed tester for life time or not. There are some jobs like tea/wine tasting which might have future but such cool jobs can loose the cool factor as a person grows old.

Yes, when I look at the kids who have joined my company, I find them having this attitude.. a cool and indifferent one. I felt that they should be responsible and every way contribute to the growth of the company positively. But then they find it cool not to do so and they have airs about the work they have performed. Well times are achanging and there is nothing we can do about it than just sit back and watch it while it lasts....

Yes, they are... 1- Be your own boss thinking encourage them 2- Corporate politics or you can say, Politics within an organization pressurise to Youth to go with their own passion & dreams. 3- I would like to replace the word used here "COOLER JOBS" with "FLEXIBLE WORK". And I am sure, 2010-2020 will be called as a decade of ENTREPRENEURS. Thanks, Santosh

To be paid for doing what we love! Nowdays..youth are turning thier passion and hobbies in successful profession. Now job's meaning has changed, now it is not bounded up to 8 hours jobs...we can find many examples like Very famous Photographer Tarun Chawla who has turned his passion into a sccusseful profession.

The only reason i say yes is because it is dependent on each individual. If he attains satisfaction in his off-beat job and is not bothered about the travesties of modern society, then why not ? What is cool does not depend on societies interpretation rather on an individuals taste. Being a wine taster for life can be cool. Imagine yourself excelling in this and being invited world over to sample wines and attending wine tasting event where you rub shoulders with Pg 3 hob nobs. Isnt that cool enough ? So it depends on the individual and as long as you retain your perspective on the career you have chosen for yourself and dont fall prey to the machsinations of society, you will continue to retain the cool quotient.
