Software engineering anyone?????

why does everybody i know doin engineering wants to eventually enter the IT industry???

UG: BIO-TECH
JOB: SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

UG:BIO-MEDICAL
JOB: SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

UG:ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION
JOB: SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

UG: ANY ENGINEERING COURSE UNDER THE SUN
JOB: SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

why is this happening? why do ppl decide to specialise in a field of engineering....study for 4 years and eventually decide not to continue with that and eventually enter the IT industry???? Bio tech for example.....leads u through a course that makes u a professional in the very basics of all life and teaches u diferent ways of experimenting with DNA...Genetic codes and what not.they are trained in the course of 4 yrs to specialise in their subjects.....for what?.... to eventually end up with software engineering?? is it the money that tempts them so much or what??? i do agree the IT industry does give off generous amounts of cash as soon as the engineers get the jobs but why dont ppl take some time off and realise dat doin a PG in their own course would probably help them a lot more and would even eventually lead to bigger paycheques....they could specialise in their own fields and get better technical jobs connected to bigger companies rite?????? could somebody help me out here.....was speakin with a friend of mine which made me take time out and think about this.......
MY VIEW OF THIS TOPIC IS PRETTY NARROW MINDED AND I HONESTLY DON KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE IT INDUSTRY. SO NO OFFENCE TO ANYBODY WHO'S PROBABLY DOIN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING. I WAS JUS LOOKIN FOR AN ANSWER....SO THOUGHT I WOULD BRING UP THE QUESTION HERE. NO OFFENCE AGAIN GUYS! THANKS! lookin out for some views.....

A Real Life Simpsons Intro....

This is simply TOO AWSOME!!!! every simpsons fan on earth should check this out...really cute...wait for the whole thing to load for the first time and watch it the second time....its damn cool...enjoy!

Nero Burning Rom....

Many of u guys probably have cd or dvd writers and most of u probably use Nero Burning Rom cause its like one of the best burnin softwares around...ever tried to analyze the name? nero-burning-rom??? it makes sense right?? assuming Nero is the company name, Burning would indicate burning or writing discs...and Rom should stand for the cd rom or the dvd rom...it makes perfect sense......right??? Wrong! it has a pun in it.

Now here's the cool part...the name happens to be something way cooler than u think!
Nero stands for the Roman Emperor Nero who ruled the roman empire for fourteen years. On the night of July 18th...64 AD, There was a fire that broke out in rome which was later called the Great Fire of Rome. This fire lasted for about a week at thousands of people had lost their homes and families. It was said that during the fire, Nero stood in his palace, watched the flames and sang The sack of Ilium which is an epic of Greek Literature that depicts the Trojan Wars. Eventually word had spread about this and people started suspecting Nero of starting the fire himself since he always proposed for a better built Rome and had his own plans of rebuilding rome during his rule. So eventually people started considering the fact that "Nero Burnt Rome". The same sentence in a present tense would be "Nero Burning Rome". In german...Rome is spelt "Rom" and not "Rome". So the whole thing FINALLY makes sense....The software named Nero Burning Rome actually indicates The emperor Nero Burning Rome....even the official logo of the software is a picture of the Colloseum in rome...burning. Damn cool huh?
