Do you agree with how this profession is portrayed in movies?

In many of the recent movies that I have seen, Engineering is portrayed as or talked about as if it is one of the the worst profession that anyone could pursue in India..
People who work in IT, is mainly because they are forced to by their parents.. you are stuck in an average lifestyle if you continue with it.. 9 to 5 jobs kills dreams, people are wasting their lives doing it..
Does everybody feels the same?

One of the reasons India is considered as a growing superpower is because of its IT sector, but still it is the most abused profession, do you think it is fair to portray it like the way it is?
I agree many parents force their will on kids to go for engineering, but there are many who pursure it because they are genuinely interested in it.. and y is it so wrong if some one goes for it just because it is an high paying job and not because they are really passionate about it.. India ki aadhi se jyada janta is middle class, if they see 9 to 5 job as a way to break out of it and earn some extra bucks then usme galat kya hai..
I am not saying that Engineering is the only job that one should aspire for.. but whats wrong if people go for it.. nowadays its uncool, kyunki engineering toh koi bhi kar leta hai aaj kal.. usme kya badi baat hai :\

Everyone is studying engineering/medicine. That's why doctors/engineers are earning hardly 10-15 thousand pm as starting salaries. Esp doctors.

Yeah come to think about it, it is usually shown in a negative light. But the thing is, they aren't wrong. It IS a professions which is forced on people. They just should show it in a positive light as well. I mean like how in Hollywood, people from Comp Science background are shown as cool and often crucial to the plot college going kids, I think that can be shown more so that it gets balanced.

Yes.

There are many who look down upon Engineering but let them do it themselves and then talk. Studying continuously for 4 years non-stop with barely 3-4 days break between semesters is no joke.

About engineering being an unfulfilling and mundane profession, I guess it depends a lot on where you pursue your undergraduate education.

I hardly ever studied during engg. Used to study exactly one day before the exam but still passed with flying colours.
