Before going for and leaving you profession, you must clear yourself so that you would not regret on your decision.
There are three things for which one struggles:
• Respect
• Status and Protocol
• Money
As far as first two are concerned, they are abundant in civil services. But it lacks in money matters. But a CSP has to struggle only in early years of job, later on the perks and privileges and also the salary increase to enable him to lead a reasonable life.
Everything has its merits and demerits. All we need is to get the best people with brilliant minds in our civil services to serve the masses of the country.
