4. Helps with that leap in Life on a gear switch
A generic professional in the no skilled, teller roles or who may need to work on a clock procession with less of a human though activity and more of a physical worker role is a bygone era in the present working class career life. Now we are heading towards individual contributors, who can make work simplified, train a machine for better functionalities, write a mega code and run millions of programs on a tip of a click .This kind of technological knowhow is what industry is needing and so is the current university education focusing on . Accordingly the transmission of being a Manager from an intern, or becoming a CEO after Graduation Education is quite possible. So that big leap in life need not be waited till 10 years of progression in the hierarchy ladder or so many ordeals faced, as long as our career goals and core areas of interest are clear and precise.
