Is IT graduation really necessary to take up Open Source Jobs?
No
Today, so many Engineering Graduates are passing out of college, left in
the
dark, without knowing what to do. We need to guide them about these
freelancing options, and to update their required skillset. I dont know if
such self-enterpreneurship guidance is given in FOSS workshops conducted in
colleges. If NOT, we should include that, which will give confidence to
the
students..
i do this explicitly, again this is a very personal thing no matter how well
you guide ultimately it is the person who has to walk the path. i have seen
folks taking from few months to years to get that confidence of "yes i can
do it" , more than confidence i think it has to do more with the belief
system. unlearn learn unlearn curves.
Any thoughts?
students lack attitude for learning and do not have patience the ones who
have i have seen benefit in long run ....i single them out before i start
working with them , since my time and resources are limited too .
