Ya why? I am sure there are many other cool careers around. I had a job offer in Infosys. Could have joined it. A nice pay. A foreign tour within two years. Supposedly great girls!
Or even tried for an MBA. Mind blowing salaries yaar. Cant fathom how can a company even afford to pay such a huge amount. Aisa kaunsa kaam hota hai? But my mom would have loved it. She says if you study so much, obviously you should be paid high. And the world today requires managers. Companies pay anything to get a good manager.
I could have even joined for an M.tech in IIT Bombay. A glamorous IIT life. Once an IItian, always an IITian. A fat paying job after that.....
So than why? Research? PHD? Koi sunega to bolega professor banna hai kya!? The usual perception is that research is for geeks, nerds. And I was warned beforehand that what you get afterwards is peanuts compared to the hard work you put in. And moreover it often leads to frustration and depression! And I know I am no way going to be paid the likes of a MBA or a software engineer!
Its midnight now. I think I will answer this question tomorrow.
