YES TO WAR!
31 12 2007
It is a very positive issue that the number of uniÂversities has been increasing, since they supÂport acedemical works and provide the opporÂtunity to raise university graduate staff. Howe-
ver, after graduation we are mostly to face with a new trouble: Insufficient job opportunuties.
By considering our education level, we will approÂach this matter in terms of engineering and middle level staff. Engineering is an “upper identity” which is a famous expression used recently. If a person has the engineering degree, he can shape his future throÂugh working in such fields as manufacturing, reseÂarch and development, after sales services or sales and marketing etc.
Instead of working in their interest fields or compeÂtent areas, engineers mostly work in the fields where they can eaÂsily find ajob or where they can develop their abilities. When we consider an engineer -who loves to deal with details and who deÂfines himself as someone obsessed with searching the matters in deep- always trying to find new customers or has to catch his monthly sales quotas, the tragedy of the this subject will be much more clear.
On the other hand, the companies those want to create new and different issues need genuis crazy people thinking and thinÂking continuously.
That is to say, staff has been complaining about being unabÂle to find a suitable job, and companies has been doing so about not being able to find the sutiable personel.
In my opinion, no matter how high the education level of peÂople are, they should very make use of the period -either long term or short term- during their military service life. As our VIP people state, “military life is not a life to rest in the barracks or outposts” and also we are not in a term to fight. We can benefit from this military life period in such ways as below :
. 1. Improving computer usage abilities of even if the lowest education level soldiers through introducing them intemet and simple Microsoft Word and Excel applications
2. Supporting the supply of middle level staff through proviÂding education high school and technical high school graduates with software, hardware and research and development.
3,,11 will be very productive if the engineers were operated with web based applications or in the way that will be supportiÂve to TUBITAK’s and ASELSAN’s projects. In addition, the soldiers should be assisted by training for what they want to do after their military life.
By taking the global world conditions into consideration, in place of feeding our army physically and keeping it ready for battle, we need to have a fight in terms of economics that gives information the most important priority.
As here clearly noticed, In addition to protect our Republic and Democracy and declaring extraordinary safety precautions, the army is expected to have a very important role in creating inÂformation society and educating 700.000 people and unit them with the society. This will be very usefulfor our national econoÂmic war.
Yours Respectfully
