I don't know what I will be doing this SUMMER

I know what you must be thinking, is there a spelling mistake?? I am not talking about the movie "I know what you did last summer". For those movie crazy guys/gurlz, here is the link for the review of that movie. IMDB

For some of the poor souls like me, they would have guessed what I am trying to say. I am talking about my summer placements, which is far from over.

Looking back for the last 3 days (since the summer placement started) I wonder why did I take an admission in an engg school.. Even if one mistake was committed, then why the hell did I join an IT company.. Even if that was not sufficient, why did I opt Finance as my specialization.. Have I committed a crime by doing all this..

Now is the time to decide whether specialization is better or generalization (general MBA).. Woh kehte hai na, ki ek jagah muhh maare ya sab jagah muhh marte fire..

One wise man has said:
“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

According to me Henry ford was not a specialist. Sure, he knew a lot about automobile, but what his greatness is that he gathered people (specialists) and made a modern assembly line style manufacturing company. He is well known for what he said in the trial (!) '‘I don’t know the answer for that, but I can get someone who does.’

Some words to consider, isn't it. So do you still think specialization is better than generalization?? your comments are welcome..
