High School (+2 ) Fail to Success: How I Found My Way in the IT Industry

Okay, let me tell you about my rough start in life. Let’s face it, high school wasn’t exactly my cup of tea(+2 failed), so I started working as an assistant at a computer services centre. I was making only 500 rupees a month, so you can imagine how broke I was.

Later, I landed a job as an Airtel broadband service engineer, which paid me a bit more, but I still wasn’t happy. I knew I wasn’t cut out for these jobs, so I decided to rewrite my arrears exams and get my degree.

I went to college to study electronics and communications, but things didn’t go smoothly. I faced a lot of rejection during campus placements due to my school arrears and stutter. But I wasn’t going to let that get me down. I found a college project centre where I could learn programming, and it was pretty freaking cool. I started earning a monthly salary of 5000 rupees, and I worked really hard to improve my skills.

After ten long years in the IT industry, I finally made it. I’m now earning thirty times more than my initial salary, and it feels freaking amazing.

So, what did I learn from all of this? Those setbacks can’t hold you back if you keep pushing yourself and pursuing new opportunities. that you don’t have to let your failures define you. You can always change your path and keep pushing yourself to learn and improve. With hard work and dedication, you can achieve success, no matter how many obstacles you face.
