When you are a creative person, and you have friends who are into serious IT jobs where they just code and go home without giving anything back to themselves creatively, there are a lot of changes you can see between your two lives, from friends, the hobbies you have and even the food you eat. But more importantly, it’s the people whom you surround yourself with.

Creative vs Creative vs Typical Typical It It networks networks When you are a creative person, and you have friends who are into serious IT jobs where they just code and go home without giving anything back to themselves creatively, there are a lot of changes you can see between your two lives, from friends, the hobbies you have and even the food you eat. But more importantly, it’s the people whom you surround yourself with. Any top-level CEO will tell you the importance of the arts in their lives, and how important fine arts to the future of mankind. As such, go take a look at top level CEOs network list on LinkedIn, also check out famous artists, heads of video game studios and animation studios from across the world and check their networks on LinkedIn. What is the most common, distinctive factor that you can notice, that you do not see in one who’s not very creative and doesn’t work in a creatively demanding job? The most obvious: Their profiles are a blast to go through. Creative people tend to take wackier, off the usual path type of projects and deliver them successfully,
creating a great profile for themselves in the process, something which inspires confidence. We here at IACG understand this in our creative students, the need to create and inspire even more of the next generation that’ll follow them is something we take very seriously. There are more differences in the profiles and networks of creative people against those who are not. Their network lists their fantastic skill set which is for all to see, creative people often engage in projects that inspire and educate many a people, even those who are generally not interested. The primary difference, however, would be in the fact that the glowing endorsements on their profiles are not for some boring task they did, but for creating something truly amazing with their innate talent, and contributing to the industry. India’s obsession with creating engineers!! India’s obsession with creating engineers!! Why on earth is India so obsessed with creating Engineers? This is a question that must have popped in your heads a few times. Why only engineers, or doctors, why are people going into various streams, from animation to commerce, law or even social work frowned upon? There are various reasons for this to happen, to put it bluntly, the generation of parents right now grew up in a time where being an Engineer meant a comfortable upper middleclass life, which ensured a comfortable living for themselves and their families. This is also the generation that believed in raising families as the only way to be responsible in life, hence the word ‘settled’ is only used when a person gets married and starts a family, as if that is their only goal in life. Life is an adventure, an adventure created by those who aren’t just in engineering fields. There are various fields which a student can take up in their life time, but the cornerstone of people enjoying what they do is to enjoy what they do. The problem here, then, lies in the fact that many students of the current generation lack the agency to make their own choice, that is to say, the choice of their field of study is made for them by their parents, who have notions developed in a bygone era. Today, engineers are dime a dozen. Some engineers chase their dreams and get into more creative fields of work, like programming as a freelancer or going into development work for animated worlds where they create what they envision, but our education system has caused nearly a million new engineers to just study to pass their subjects instead of learning their subject, leading to many unemployable
engineers willing to do a job for the lowest pay because they know if they don’t take up the job, someone else in a similar position will replace them like a cog in the machine. This is not the life we want for our children, where the competition is so fierce and there are legions upon legions of engineers who are unemployable willing to do jobs at the lowest level for negligible pay. The age of engineering ensuring you live a comfortable middleclass life is fast disappearing, and we can only hope when the current generation of youth become parents themselves, they realize the folly of the generation before them and fix this. India is obsessed with engineers because of notions that don’t exist anymore, and it is harming the youth of this country. AVS AVS- -FILMMAKER FILMMAKER The mystic evolution the project done by the students of International Academy of Computer Graphics is fabulous and mind blowing…Really this short film is an example for the new sophisticated technology which will be a major weapon for
todays youth. I expect all the cast and crew of the mystic evolution to create more such short films and use is for social awareness . I also believe that the team would also be successful commercially and wish them once again hearty congratulations.
