Whom you say as Educated...!!!?????

What is the purpose of education...? What is an education really mean...? When you ask any person in this country, why you need education.?the maximum replies will be for a job..to live etc..! But many believe education means qualification..and does both mean the same..? How many of the people are confident in the subject they got qualified..? How many know the actual meaning or understand of what they are studying...? In this highly populated and developing country for getting a job really needs to face tuff competition  . Thats true. For that every parent wants to grow toppers and rankers in their homes. Every one wants No.1. that too in the field of engineering, medicine or management and other than these no other field is acceptable. And to say frankly they don't even like and have no guts to think other than these fields. Can you show me any one person who want to make his son/daughter as a great writer or painter. If any one ask this, the answers will be like.... "How much you will get if he is in that field...or it is difficult to get a job or it is difficult to succeed in that field". So here money dominates the interest..! And no one wants to take risk in that. This the real fact. Because of this we opt the field based on the money but not on the interest. And there is nothing that we cant get success in other fields...but we don't have guts to choose other than these and also cant realize this until somebody got succeeded in other field. But success comes with practice, excellence. For that a person requires interest on what he is doing. Only the person who have interest and passion in what he is doing can only get success. But most of us are influenced by the others in such a way that we cant able to think or set a goal by our interest. If people around us say this is good means we go for that without knowing about our interest or capabilities. Todays education is really job oriented but not knowledge oriented. And many are studying to get marks and qualification but not for knowledge. This is well known fact...! This is why we have many people with qualification but lack of real education.Here it is like joining a college... memorize the content...get a degree and join a job n relax...! But many pass the college without understanding what they studied.An educated person shall able to think about a problem. But I feel the real education in India will start only after joining a job. Here we do the things. We think for the solution. And we work on a particular subject and we become expert of that subject. But if a person who have no interest in his field can not get excellence and success. I have seen many of my friends who did electrical engineering and joined in software and other industries. There is no relation between their education and job. This is because of money domination as I said before and also lack of opportunities because of heavy competition. This is why we don't have people of excellence even having many qualified people. No inventions and no developments. This is why developed countries going ahead in improvements and inventions. They need not worry about money and they wont study for job or living. They study as per their interest and so they are succeeding. Then what about our country. We have to be like this only..? When the change will come...? We change the fields as per the industry boom.We study almost all subjects but with no expertise. We have many talents but development happens only if that talent meets the excellence...! But excellence can not happen until there is a change in attitude. Then to change this attitude we have to become rich and to become rich we have to change this attitude...! Who can solve this...!!!!??????????
