Some pretty grim numbers these. Luckily, in the field that I'm planning to get into once I'm done with college, the basic starting salary for someone with no experience is 97000 with perks. Unfortunately though, you need to spend 1.5 years and Rs.2 million to get a license and some heavy duty sifarish. Hopefully, I'll be able to work after finishing my degree to at least save up enough for the license.
