Software profession

Hi all,
I was not blogging for more than 3 months coz i was busy with my work and did not find a computer to put my thoughts.
Coming to my Topic, “Software profession". I would like ask one question to all those highly talented/intelligent people out there in software profession.
Can super Intelligent with excellent academic track record opt Software profession as a career?
I would say in today's world, he should actually not opt it, coz he will finally end up in mid of all those under achievers, no brainers and dummies. And that highly talented guy would get faded away by accepting easier challenges throughout his career.

Look earlier there was no calculators at all and all those NO Brainers would go to intellectuals any calculations, but now things are different, even a corner shop vendor has a calculator which enables him to calculate at finger tips. And the value for those individual who used to do calculations with his finger tips has lost all importance.

So that smart guy decided to pick up a bigger challenge and invented a computer and also programmed in C, C++ and UNIX. Wrote compliers, Editors, Operating Systems and also created complex products.
All those under achievers in s/w industry are now working on different applications like development/enhancements, Testing, Coding, Support etc.
If you want above jobs compared to the calculator then it would be like creating a sine graph for a NO Brainer with the help of scientific function in the calculator.

Do you really want to do it? I am sure most of super intelligent people out there would say NO. But the driving factor in all our lives is the Money It would take higher precedence many times.
I feel sorry for those guys who are really smart out there doing all that crap work.
My suggestion to those people would be.
1. Make right decision before you enter into any industry
2. Set your expectations and plan you career accordingly
3. Always look out for more challenging work

As of now I can think only this much..do give me your comments..

Why our major metro cities in India lacking in infrastructure.

Why our major metro cities in India lacking in infrastructure.You take cities like Delhi , Bombay , Chennai, Kolkatta, Bangalore , Pune or any other city of India Why it is struggling to cope up with growing population.Where are we going wrong? What is the problem? I was thinking on this and I feel the problem lies with all. First we can put all the blame on politicians. But still can we put all the blame on just politicians. What responsibilities does our Bureaucracy have? , what is our judicial system doing? Why the private player does not take part in town planning? And finally why our common man does not stand out and demand for the needs. Actually the problem lies with every individual. The attitude is "why should I need to fight for others?" and feeling is “what ever I do it is not going to change.” Most of our so called Corporate People (Multinational Companies) are just bothered about themselves. A Company in electronic city just want the Hosur

My Love with Football

My Love with Football June 2010, FIFA world cup has started and I am really excited to watch the matches. And I can't wait to see my favourite team win the world cup. I don't know why I love this sport more than any other, though cricket is very popular sport in India. I happened to love this sport more. It all began in 90, I had learnt Maradona and Pele were the legends of football and I had watched them play in pervious world cup highlights which was telecasted in our only TV Channel of India the Doordarshan on Sundays. 1990 was the year, where the FIFA world cup was held in Italy and my hero Maradona was playing in it. I was glued to the TV all night watching great matches. Due to time difference and one channel could not telecast multiple matched at same time. I had missed some matches in 90, but i had seen most of them live. Argentina was brilliant in this world cup. Maradona was great. He helped Argentina win matches against Brazil, Yugoslavia and Italy. These were th

Automation

Human brain is created in such as way that it tries to innovate and keeps building on the existing innovation. Therefore this raises the bar on each individual achievement. On other day, I was just thinking about social networking, Facebook, MySpace , Orkut etc. which lead me to think all about computer and internet. If you look at computer and internet from a distance, it is indeed remarkable achievement of mankind. Initially there was no computer everything was done manually, next computers were invented to make things work automatically. Once the computer were built, these computer were inter connected through a network and eventually globally which is called Internet . Internet has made the computer very powerful. The connected computer is more powerful and lethal when compared to the standalone system. Once we had established the network, lots of interactive system were built such as email system, centralized application client-server technology and Web technology. Initially
