Dears,
I wonder why you are criticising this AAB and Co. I dont know who are the partners of this new firm but the practices regarding stipends are same every where in Pakistan. The minimum wages of Rs 4600 p.m. have nothing to do with any stipend level. If some one on training feels that he has to get the compensation for his services then these must not be materially lesser than a normal professional.
There is hell of difference in wages of a labourer and scholarship or stipend paid to a student. I wonder why students feel theirselves the labourers. The hard work and load of work are the things which make the main difference. Therefore, these cannot be argued to make a trainee a labourer.
If some one is crazy about the minimum or maximum wages level he must not and must not choose to be in the training arrangement. He should opt to search for some job and he would certainly find a very good salary that would again not be comparable to minimum wages.
Here the question is not of some wages. The essence is to get through the procedures, environment, diversification, technicalities and other professional growth stimulating factors which one cannot achieve simply by going on to a job. I wonder how people ignore the intrinsic benefits and just discuss the wages levels.
Further, this AAB is not the alone case in this country. Every firm including big 4 do not wish to pay any thing on maximum side to its students. They pay only what is required legally or where some trade off does not give them cushion to do some thing else. What the regulators have been doing since ages is not some thing hidden.
Notwithstanding the above, it has always been my personal view that when a studnet would be more crazy for earning rather than developing his-self professionally (in training tenure), he will never turn out to be a best of the bests. This has been my view since the time when I was also a trainee. May be so many of you will not agree to this statement but this is a proven reality and any one can check it practically.
At the end, I must point out that stipends or scholarships have nothing to do with any minimum wages level. Moreover, comparing a professional student with minimum wage level is a disgrace for him, if we can feel it.
Regards,
