A Little Off The Track

This exactly is not about the victims of ioe but is about all the victims of the field of civil engineering who have a sense of conscience. After the completion of B.E. I personally have found that most of the people( almost 99.99%) in this field are corrupted beyond correction. They have become incorrigible perpetrators of unscrupulous professional practices. I found blatant disrespect of the professional ethics that is taught to every prodigy of civil engineering. I was expecting a different scenario when I first entered into my professional life but found the ambience where there is collusion between the contractors and employers and the one to be deceived is the client. I dream if there ever will be quality construction as such in Nepal. I found myself time to time obliged to align myself with these mercenaries only to get in return a dearth means of meager subsistence. I am not aggrandizing myself but the situation I am facing is that with my sense of conscience and dignity I am developing a phobia from this profession. The profession is not bad per se but the trend is that people in this arena use this technical knowledge in their advantage for fraudulent money making. I wonder whether I will ever get to work in a decent environment and get perks for my sincere and honest execution of work rather than for the servility toward unscrupulous seniors and peers.
