This month's Goanet operations sponsored by Mrs. Daisy Faleiro If you would like to sponsor Goanet's operations contact: Herman Carneiro - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Selma, Your suggestion(sarcastic) that Goan youth should "should stay in Goa serving cocktails and mocktails to lager louts" is precisely the low aiming blinkered mentality that ails most Goans(especially the coastal Catholic community).Goa has four engineering colleges, a medical college, two law colleges and a management insitute. Yet you can't seem to see a Goan youth in any other role other than serving lager, in Goa or abroad. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why the Goans from the coast(predominantly Catholics) are reaping the least benefit of Goa's tourism boom or the Indian economic boom. If you can't think beyond being a waiter or tourist taxi driver then there is no point complaining that others now own all the restaurants, hotels, travel agenicies and shops. It is equally pointless to blame the education system when you can't find a job with a pass class non-professional degree. Open your eyes to the opportunities available to most motivated young Goans today, tourism included. Sunith Selma writes: It is those hapless fellows that make their way to the Gulf or work onboard ships. Instead, they should stay in Goa serving cocktails andmocktails to lager louts, so that their children will be inspired er motivated to do better in school.
