I am an engineer (B.E., MBA) working for the government of India. I feel I am not utilizing my knowledge and skills to the maximum, and the pay is also very small compared to my colleagues working in the private sector and those who are self-employed.
I want to become rich within two years by working hard and intelligently. Please suggest some good ideas, including new projects and self-employment opportunities.

Dear rbs2002,
We need to understand that there are no shortcuts to hard work. Secondly, we do not work for any company for a job; we work there to build our career. Now, rbs, unless you switch your job from the government sector to the private sector, I doubt there are any chances of becoming rich unless it's done illegally. First of all, government jobs are places where people normally work with a typical mindset, and they are afraid of changes. So, even if the change is proposed, the change is nearly impossible.
So what I personally would suggest is to join a company where you find your job description more challenging and where you think your creativity will come into play more often. I hope this might help us to sort out the real dilemma.

Dear rbs2002,
This is what I see in your statement: BE (Mech) - strong education -> Good job (your dream) -> Pays well (need should be satisfied) -> Self-esteem (Friends will also look up to you) -> You want to be busy always, and doing things innovatively (that's what you meant by hard work and intelligence?)
I suggest a different path: BE (mech) - strong education -> Proper job market analysis (career plan) -> Choose a passionate job (Being busy and doing things out of your own creativity) -> Others realize your value (Wow...this guy has got talent).
And see the following things that will come automatically: Money, Fame, :-) Sense of satisfaction.
What I meant to say is - hunt for a job that you will be passionate about, create a niche for yourself. That is, no one else would be as specialized as you in that particular area. And finally, you get all that you want!

Like Sam Dave commented: we do not work for any company for a job; we work there to build our career. So, create opportunities by yourself, searching for some changes and unfulfilled demands around your surroundings, and be the owner of yourself (be an entrepreneur). But this will take more than 2 years to become a wealthy individual. Once you make the right choice, you will.

Mr. RBS,
I suggest you start chanting the "Hare Krishna" Mahamantra and put in your positive efforts towards Krishna Consciousness. By doing so with all your heart, you will definitely find the path to reach the GODHEAD and become one of the richest individuals.

In my opinion, you don't become rich unless you are honest and passionate about whatever service you are providing to society. Well, dishonesty can get you a quick buck, but it doesn't last long, and you are never truly rich because of the state of your mind.
What you need to do is find what you are passionate about and be entrepreneurial about it. The day you wake up and think, "I don't have a job... but I have work to do," that is a sign that you are progressing in the right direction.

Becoming rich is relative. Richness is a relative term. You have to define first what is rich according to you. Being a crorepati or lakhpati, or being a landlord, owning a farmhouse, or becoming a member of a millionaire club, etc. Having a good family is also rich. It totally depends on you. Ask yourself, what is rich according to you? Then make several plans or the most convenient plan according to you. Implement and work on it fast and with strict discipline. You will soon see if it is working or not. Then improvise on it, and I hope and feel that you will have your answer. Please acknowledge.

Hello rbs2002,
Most have already conveyed what it takes to become 'rich', most notably Zalak & Asha. I want to go one step further... WHAT DO YOU EXACTLY MEAN BY 'RICH'? Earning 10 lacs p.a., 1 cr p.a. salary, 10 crs p.a., 1000 crs p.a., or something else entirely? First, BE CLEAR ON YOUR DEFINITION OF "BEING RICH" [I have met people for whom 'rich' doesn't even mean money - even though it sounds ridiculous], and then choose the path that will take you there AND strive to achieve it, come hell or high water. Just remember one thing: "there's no shortcut to success" - perseverance and effort are a must. For some, it may take less time, for some a bit longer, and for others, more time. That's all... as long as you don't lose focus on your goal, you are sure to reach where you want to.
I could go on and on... but I guess this should suffice.
Regards,
TS

Hi, you could try the following:
- Get in touch with a career counselor.
- See what jobs your friends are doing and try to identify whether you like any of them.
- In the meanwhile, since you are well-educated, see if you can give guest lectures, etc., in some institutions. This will supplement your income.
