It is often wrongly thought that building career of a student is only for his own development. Any job related to his/her career must yield some result that is necessary for the human development.

Even a Cobbler trains his successor some new technique, which he has gathered throughout his life, suitable for his career development.

Today, sophisticated technology has made the world too small. Talents should be directed in a suitable direction to bloom and flourish for shouldering greater responsibility in the living environment not confined within immediate environment but globally.

Thus Career Building may be defined as the process in which he/she educates and gathers expedience for the job. Related Job means the particular type of work that further glorifies during the progress application of that education & inherent talent, in lieu of remuneration or not.

A growing boy or girl on the earth faces the reality to do something for the next generation. So long he/she is under the direct supervision of parents he/she is continuously being motivated in building of a so-called Good Career.

In most cases the ‘will’ of the dominant guardians fix up the future carrier and arrange for education that he desires.

In many cases such imposition misfit him/ her to the place of job, Become depressed, obsessed and find the job site melancholy. Some cases of dire consequences are learnt from such wrong judgment/ imposition. Fruitful result cannot be obtained either for the human society or for himself/ herself. Thus building of a Good Career should be restored on the will of the careerists. Simply the role of the guardian is to place before him the options open for him and the way to be educated and trained for those options.

During the prehistoric days a student (disciple of Rishi) had to earn Vedic education in the Ashrama.

The society in those days was undeveloped in the sense we think it now. Gradually essence of science germinated to meet the immediate necessity. The old civilization of Hindu (rather called Sindhu) in Indian Subcontinent, that of Egypt, Babylon & China are well known. Career building in those days was of no value.

With the development of science as a tool for improvement of living, particularly in the later half of the Nineteenth Century the need for carrier building began felt. Discoveries coupled with technology (of Discovery of the power of steam and applied to steam-engine) generated demand for expert in a particular field. in this case it was for good drivers, Machine-man, Fire-man, Signal, Rail tracks and the formally educated managers to master the stations and so on.

The same on the other hand brought the requirement of building experts to make the stations.

Thus technology application invites one or several other technology to complete the implementation of the devise as Professor Stevenson had to face in those days.
