So, let me tell you some of the things that I noted here in my first 2 months.

Some of the things that I had in mind when i joined were will i be able to 'connect' to what was being taught? Won't the others know more about the industry? How will I cope up with them? Should I have taken up the placement offers that I had got?

Learning from them has been a great experience. There were days when I learnt about Data Warehousing in the morning and automobile engine assembly plant operations in the evening from people who have worked in these fields. Also, the experience that they bring into the class discussions when any topic is being discussed is quite enriching.

But, this does not mean that the freshers does not have anything to offer. Many a times, we end up questioning standard industry beliefs. People who have worked knows that some standard process are followed in their industry and they have been following them for quite some time. We tend to drill down into the logic of following these processes.

The end result is an insightful debate and discussion in class.
