But in general, I think life during your college life is fun. YOu are no longer immature and you are starting to mingle with mature individuals and you are about to enter the real world.

If they donot see themselves in either role, I think going for a Ph.D will endup in a disillusionment. You also ask about dropping out. Most serious students will drop out of a Ph.D program to take it up at another school. AFAIK 90% of new graduates from NIT-T or elsewhere who come to graduate studies at American universities are looking for a job. In anycase I'd highly recommend students pickup a masters degree before going for the Ph.D. -M Hello Sundar,
