"Sir, what is there in Salary?...Is money everything in life?...Why so much of fuss and importance to salary??"

Dear all,

One Question...One Answer...

Qn. "Sir, i am in the final year of an elite engineering college. I have got a job offer for 25000/- per month in a MNC. Some of my classmates have got job offers like Rs.1,00,000/- plus per month. I am feeling low about this. Everyone is creating so much of fuss about the salary. Though the CGPA difference between us is not much, but there is a big difference in the salary. Why like this? Why everyone feels 'woww' about the high salaried person?...Is money everything in life?...I am depressed!!'

Ans: I can understand your situation. Don't worry. You can also get such salaries shortly. I will tell you the technique.

Salary shows the value of the knowledge, potential or talent elements, personality attributes, skills sets, experience, capacity, competency levels etc the person has which is in high demand in the job market. Some skills are on high demand but low value, so are paid less. Some skills are on high demand but of very high value, so are paid more.

So, do the following, you will also get such high salaried jobs:-

(1) List down all the professional knowledge, skills/talent elements, competency levels in these, personality attributes etc that you have.

(2) Also, list your interests and likes where you can lose yourself, involve and enjoy working, forgetting about the time, hunger, sleep etc

(3) List down the skills on high demand in the job market and highly paid. Identify those skills which interest you and you can lose yourself in doing those jobs. Acquire high competency levels in these, if you don't have.

(4) Match all the three above and identify the things you have and need to grow to get those high salaried jobs.

(5) Identify those organisations which have these as their Key Result Areas (KRAs).

(6) Apply to all these organisations, you will get selected in one or more.

(7) Even if it takes an year or more, do it. You might overtake your classmate in an year or two or few years, because many do not have the endurance to work hard, and continuously upskill and reskill. If you do it for three decades, you will find you are growing continuously and reach far greater heights than all your classmates in all aspects of wealth, knowledge, wisdom, education, good health, fame etc.

No one lives here till 100 years. No one earns for life long. So, starting salary does not matter really. Starting speed does not matter in a marathon. Life is a marathon. So, run moderately in the profession and keep running while keeping good health. You will reach heights which no one can reach!!

Peacefully yours...Rams....Psychologist!!
