This is the story two girls
The first one is an MSc Biochemistry, aged 38, with a 14 year old son
She is well eduacted. She had an English medium school education
Her husband is a teacher in a private school
She works as a health inspector in a Municipality in Central Kerala for which the qualification prescribed is a pass in SSLC. She got the job because she is an SSLC pass. We can see that her PG degree and her 7 years in the College were a waste.
She became health inspector after getting through a course recognised by the Govt. Her job is to visit houses and ensure everything is clean everywhere. Her first question everywhere is, is there a dog. She steps in when the reply is negative. She enquires if is there anyone here with fever. She conveys that dengue is prevalent everywhere. She asks whether the house has any plants inside and whether there are little pools of water that breed mosquitoes.
Then she advises how to carry on without contracting any infectious disease.
Job over she leaves
The second is an Engineer. She is a pass out from LBS Trivandrum. She works in a Bank.as a clerk. She must be around 35.
Her husband, an engineering graduate is employed in another bank as a clerk.
They have a seven year old girl who attends a premium school.
She says she joined the bank because she couldn't find a job as an engineer.
She concludes, "You don't get a job in the field you are trained."
This is the bane of Kerala. Jobs are few. Your qualification does not provide you the job for which you are trained.
