Your Expectations From Your Career Are WRONG!
CrazyEngineers gets multiple career related queries every day and sometimes I get surprised that so many engineers are totally clueless about their career. I look at it like this: either they are unable to express their questions better (language restrictions, maybe) or they are in general clueless about taking steps towards their career.
I'm even surprised to see that people do not know what kind of career they'd like to have. When I ask this question - they say 'with MNC'; which basically is a summary of:
...and then they want to know about 'certifications' that will guarantee a job with MNC. I really don't want to sound like I'm making fun by being sarcastic; but I really fail to get it. How do people even expect that others can provide magical solutions to problems that has so many variables that only an individual himself or herself can control?

It's absolutely okay to do a job that is not related to our interest. Not everyone in this world starts with their dream career. The key is to keep hunting and trying for the dream job. But you first have to know what your dream job is.Bhavna kAnd sometimes we have to do a job that is not related to our interest and when we quit that job,for the job of our interest i.e development we are considered as Freshers..
