Best Professions And Failure Of It And Web Development Professions
Web development profession has unpredictable future
. One main reason is decreasing web designing prices. Here in Lahore, there are many groups who try to decrease web designing prices by declaring it easy work or easy money. Such groups exist everywhere. It is not true. IT and web development difficulty is hard. You need to learn new technology all the time. I use to teach subjects up to B.Sc. level but al least books were same. I envy such government school, college and university teachers, lecturers and professors who take very high salaries by teaching same books or notes. Some of my lecturers even remember page numbers and answers. They enjoyed their lives and were always found laughing because free government accommodations, free medicines and much more. Although basic experts can make websites but only high level experts can develop quality websites. Web development is very productive for other businesses and considered as one time investment.
Third party IT and web development solution providers like odesk.com, elance.com, freelancer.com and many others have greatly reduced work for web designing companies and senior and experienced freelance web designers. Work distribution has greatly disturbed due to these third party websites. Secondly, these website require joining test which may be good for students but it is unsuitable for experienced developers.
Often I get CV's of web developers and software engineers asking for job or work. I myself get little work. I will suggest them to go to Europe where plenty of high paid work is available if they learn any language of European countries other than There are tens of thousands of English speaking Web developers in the English speaking countries like USA, Britain, Australia and Canada etc. but still they are very rich countries having enormous resources and wealth. They will continue to adjust immigrants due to their huge potential. Comparing Pakistan with these countries is like comparing any remote village with any metropolis or big city. India had made web development a low paid profession which provides cheapest labor.
Students these days are trying to seek shortcuts by learning practical skills directly from professionals. Many students in Lahore contacted me to learn skills from me. It is like that someone asks an experienced doctor and asks him to teach prescribing medicines without getting any degree. It is very negative trend. These students should first complete their education by taking University degrees. I myself completed my education and took Master degree during the year 1992-93 despite the fact that we studied a book which was probably written in the year 1962. These syllabuses had been taught as it were for tens of years but these graduates proved successful officers in all types of institutions and departments in Pakistan.
Here applies a big rule of demand and supply. Fewer companies are interested in developing website while web developers are many. Many times companies and businessmen in Lahore arrogantly asked me to appear in their office as they are giving me charity.Even rich property dealers asked me to appear in their office if I need work. Often I provided them free demonstration by visiting their office and spending my own money. Later I refused to visit any one's office unless guaranteed. Here, I will suggest that web developers should not visit offices unless they are ensured work. Doctors never visit anyone's home or office unless heavily paid in advance. Even small category workers refuse to visit home or office. One businessman told me that many businessmen and other people in Lahore do not believe in the provision of honorable work to web designers. But poverty and lack of work let people accept work on humiliating terms. Here, I emphasize that web developers should get honorable work, which is their right in the constitution and UNO ILO charter.
After years of research and analysis rating agencies found highest earning professions in Pakistan. These professions include medical doctors, paramedical staff and many fields of Engineering. These two professions still have great potential. Especially doctors are needed around the world. Doctors are earning great money in hospitals and clinics. Similarly people relating to finance are earning very high salaries in financial institutions and banks. CA or ACMA accountants earn highest salary in Pakistan. However finance and accounts professions are partially saturated. Freelancers and independent web designers are more affected due to absence of internet based or web design and development work. Currently in the year 2010, agriculturists are getting high profits. Food is short and badly needed in densely populated Pakistan and agriculturists are getting wishful prices. University professors and college lecturers are getting highest grades with highly relaxed jobs. They get maximum holidays and teach few periods a day.
Secondly, web design and development work in Pakistan is very low paid. One can easily understand that freelance web designers cannot survive in such circumstances where there is no work or low paid work. Similarly many international websites which claims to provide work to freelancers are exploiting programmers. They provide bidding type of system and let programmers work free for them. Instead of providing advance payments they put money in escrow. Most of such bidding websites are scam. They rarely pay to programmers. It is obvious that web design and development companies in Pakistan cannot survive.
This situation may exist due to excessive numbers of web designers, web developers, computer, software and IT services. One of the reasons of absence of work for information technology (IT) professionals, computer and software experts, website designers and developers is abundance of non-professional and non-degree holder web designers and developers. After getting nominal traditional education one can easily learn web designing and development from any college or academy in Lahore. Advanced development tools and software have increased unemployment in web developers but there is no alternative to it.
