Giving Back ...

Oct 18, 2010

Two days ago the group whose FYP (Final Year Project) I am over-seeing from SSUET remarked that their teacher Mr X was taking 80k for doing the projects of the students ... my initial reaction was WTF! A major conflict of interests here (if he teaches well he doesnt get a dime extra) ... shouldnt the guy be enabling his students to do their project???

So it struck me that I could do the same for a lot less ... bring some much needed competition into the business go for 50k and start spreading the word! But 50k for something that is around 10k eats my soul so I let it turn over my head ....

Why not start a project consultancy? 10k the students do their project and I over-see thus enabling the students to become what they wanted (at least what some of them wanted) .... but most of them asses dont want to work .... just get the degree and get on with their lives .... whatever it may or may not be .... so 50k for them .....

Giving back .... offer 1st year students to come and work on the 50k projects over-seeing them ... giving them the much needed hands on training and imparting the much needed professional wisdom .... now thats something ..... by the time the 4th year rolls around they'd be much better than me ( I hope ... and bring much needed competition into this business as well?)

Anyhow the rape of our education system continues ...
