Professions with a difference


Well every profession is divine and it earns our living through which we do everything. But some professions are bit service oriented which in turn gives back to society right away. Let me open with three such Professions .... 

Teaching community: According to me this profession is one of the most service oriented one. A teacher teaches a kid who may finally end up in a very reputable position; teachers always feel so happy to see their kids shine in future. They take a lot of pride into it when a kid turns up in future to thank him/her. Teachers/professors also help in research and development which in turns becomes a big commercial viability for money makers but the thought and idea always come from the lab, classroom kind of atmosphere. Teachers play a big role in shaping up the next generation as their see the talent in the first place and groom before it becomes a hot property in future.

Priest: How many of us actually know personal life of temple priests; They bless us time and again every single calendar day (not business day). Whether its thanksgiving, Christmas, diwali or long weekend it is always same for them. They lead a humble life and get lots of happiness to serve god and temple. With cost of living shooting high up in the sky it is quite obvious some misuse but most people are true. When we visit India our appathas/ayyas used to inform the temple priest well in advance to come and open the temple for us to worship. So just think about temple priest for a while and their noble gestures.

Doctors: Though this one is in similar lines with the first two unfortunately due to the money factor this one is overlooked many times. It is an open secret doctors earn lot of money but everything comes with a price. Very few realize what goes into the making with this profession and irrespective of the country (USA/UK/Australia/India) the going is always tough but a very satisfying career for the soul. On one side we have R&D coming up with new inventions and on other side look at the number of fast food chains …It is always doing to be a tricky balance between career and family life for people belonging to this profession. 

Just my personal observations with these professions ....
