There has been a lot of debate on whether one should join teaching as a choice or by chance. Many colleagues boasted of joining this as a choice. I hope many of them are true to what they said, but think how many people are in the careers of their choice.Now the question is if a person lands in a career by chance, should we presume that he or she is incompetent and can't justify his/her position. Let's have views of colleagues

--Dear All,Any profession has to be their choice, not by chance. A person can achieve, if he/she has a passion for it and willing to do. However, Indian context is something different. Everybody can not go through their interested career path. Before they realize their career choice, career has been forced on them due to rigid educational system as well as principles of economics. A person can still do fairness to his/her job. He has to reflect upon his limitations and can change his chance to choice.The most remarkable quality of human mind is its flexibility (Neural plasticity). Again, positive adoptive behaviour is the mechanism, which made our species to survive and rule the earth even though we are insignificant in the universe!.A fate or destiny can be overcome with effort or Purusha Prayathna (Yoga Vasistha). And this Purusha Prayathna supposed to be righteous (ethical) and for common good.Prof. Vijendra Kumar S.K.Assistant Professor & Counseling Psychologist,Centre for Counseling and Career Guidance,PES University, Bangalore.On Thursday, June 9, 2016 1:31 PM, Shivshankar Mishra <skmishra2006@hotmail.com> wrote:

NET/SET is an absurd measure for recruitment. Some other norms need to be evolved. We have already diluted the value of doctoral degrees. How many of them are really "path-breaking" or socially relevant and useful in terms of applicability?7] That has given the commercial minded educational investors a leverage to hunt for numerical compliance and
instead of seeking the real talent.Dr.Shivshankar Mishra,Professor Emeritus

Subject: Re: [MTC Global] Teaching profession should be a choice or chance?
From: kdparanjpe@rediffmail.com
Dear Sir, Teaching will become a profession of choice when the society begins to respect
them and their work. Today, the teacher of the past is not a choice. He is reviled, nay
abused, most of the times exploited by the system,beaten up and punished for the wrong
acts of the students. As to social standing it is next to nil.
On the other side, teachers are seen to mislead students, spreading ill will, politicking
and victimizing students fostering favorites, decrying merit, encouraging dissidence,
etc. These acts bring shame and approbation from the very society that they seek to
serve.
A passionate teacher is thus left with a dilemma. Most turn away to find other
professions, others gravitate to the profession for the short term as a stopgap.
There is huge teacher shortage and the country seems to be oblivious to this problem.
Cheers

> Dear Professors,Teaching profession has become a chance for many and only few can be
found passionate about it.We had conducted a research at many colleges of Bangalore and
Mangalore, Karnataka on this issue and found that nearly 70% of teaching professionals
have taken this profession as a chance but not as a choice.How can we expect good results
when teachers are not passionate about their job?Please extend your views on this
issue.Thanks and regards,
