Not everybody needs to become a software engineer

[neerajchauhan]

Malicious campaign has been started by a few regional leaders across the country that local jobs are being taken away by outsiders. A more absurd demand is that jobs in software companies and international airports should be reserved for locals. Every body needs to become a software engineer to a earn a better living and that software industry itself throws up so many ancillary jobs and that it only requires an industrious mind to grab the opportunities.

Nearby Ulsoor Lake in Bangalore, there is a huge commercial complex housing many BPO companies and other offices. It is popularly known as “The Philips” campus, though the said company has shifted out of the place. This campus does have its own eateries but they are beyond the reach of a lot of people who work in this place.

The nearest affordable restaurants are a cool 1 to 1.5 kms away. A few months ago, a couple started selling breakfast in a small shop opposite this campus, to begin with the customers were security guards and drivers. Now the same eatery has shifted to a bigger shop, a few tables have been put and the shop caters to a wider range of customers.

I don't know who the owners are but one thing is certain that they are making sure and steady progress. if they continue in the same manner, in a matter of few years they will have a full fledged eatery and surely have an income which is matching a software engineer or a BPO employee.

Are these eatery owners not making money without having a software job ? Is there not big time money to be made out of the opportunities thrown up by the booming BPO / software sector ?
