All Indian IT Companies are not body shops - All Software Jobs are not monotonous

Yes, that is a statement!!
It has continually amazed me when people in most IT firms in India chant the same line 'IT is so monotonous, get stuck doing the same rote work'. Don't know if its negative propaganda or general disillusionment, but something is wrong when fresh recruits spend week days in the training rooms of their new companies and weekends in the training rooms of management entrance coaching centers.
Some random thoughts -
# A practical 'orientation towards working in IT' required, either during the training period or before the recruits join the organisation? Very little is done towards spelling out how dynamic the industry is and how fast one can grow professionally. Perception Management has become an imperative.
#Branding the IT Profession? I would say why arent we on it yet?!
#Can this be an effective method to cut down on entry level attrition?
