I do not agree with the highlighted points in bold.

If one is serving as DPO or DCO somewhere, it is hard to get time for his family. And these people have also to work late in offices and fields rather than just signing the pepers. The exception is when one is posted in far areas of country.

Very true Mr. Omer

It is a fact known that "Authority comes with responsibility"

Gone are the days when it was believed that Govt. officer is less hardworking and has a relaxed job. Its really hard to get time for your family and personal life. You have lot of responsibilities that late sitting and no off days has became very common

I'm myself an Engineer and had experience of being a jobless or jobs on contract basis for 3 years, prior to join FPSC, My father always told me that being an Engineer is nothing for a secure future you must have to be in Government job, He is Judge and MASHALLAH serve about 35 Glorious years in the services but in front of him I hired thrice but for 3 months 6 months contracts, Being an Engineer or Doctor is life of SHEEP...

My father always teach me that Duaa:

"Ayee ALLAH muj ko Bhoot Kabil na bana, balka Muja un jasa bana jin ki command ma Bhoot sa Qabil hon Ameen!"

i strongly believed that doctors and engineers should not join civil service,but we have no right to confine them in their medical field...since independence bureaucracy is so strong in our country..everyone wants to get power&prestige in our status conscious society...these factors obviously prompt the doctors and engineers to join civil service...,they leave their profession and in this way waste government money, their medical seat,and arts student'seat in civil servicenodoubt they are more intelligent&hardworking than arts'students...

I don't agree with your point,give the doctors and engineers good jobs and none of them will ever think of going abroad or opting out of their respective professions,its not just about being in power,its rather about having a safe future.

Regarding Unique's point,I haven't yet heard of great jobs with lucrative salaries and respect and honour.Imagine being a Post-Graduate Trainee whose on call for 36 hours on the trot and in the end gets literally nothing for his efforts.

I'm happy to see how fast this thread ran. Now what I can conclude from this very discussion is as follows, kindly judge my observation.

1. Civil Service offers a much more cherished career as compared with Engineering and Medicine specially keeping in view the scenario of Pakistan.
2. It's far easy to pass CSS EXAM than to go for specialisation in any med/engg field specially in abroad universities.
3. CSS is for everyone, Engg and Med are restricted for students who are extraordinarily intelligent or have great memorising abilities respectively.
4. It involves LESS STRUGGLE to get a nice life via CSS as comaped with Med/Engg where one is forced to follow a hectic work routine, and needs to pass too many exams and tests.


I may be wrong in this assessment. But this is what I could get from the whole discussion.

@Above
Regarding your second point,Imagine that you get good marks in matric,then Fsc then in entry test after which you get admission to a medical or an engineering college and after 4-5 years of rigorous study you graduate and you find out that there are actually no jobs for you anywhere.


I don't agree with your point that life of a CSP is not full of struggle,Umar aptly mentioned earlier that they don't get time for themselves or their families.

Does this mean that only an underdog (doctor or engineer) will gor for civil service?

NEVER ever,if doctors and engineers already know that they will not get good jobs after the completion of their studies then why they wana to join this field..why they waste govt money and their time?

Y u ppl are mixing a field of knowledge with a profession. I did Engg not to get a handsome job wid a big salary package but coz i wanted to learn few things. Nd my this desire isn't gonna end by me opting 4 CSS. I ll still be learning new things from my field nd applying them wherever possible. I can speak on the behalf of engrz that they are much better equipped to handle a daily life issue or situation which has got nothing to do with dere degree just coz they have developed sound analytical approach to analyze the prob nd come up with solutions. This approach can be applied in any field or profession and is not limited to any particular profession
