It all looks lovey-dovey when a non-graduate looks into his future, working on so called cutting-edge technology. But, the revelation comes when he wears that black robe with a bunch of A4 size papers in his hand; when he is about to enter into the world of reality; when he is going to shred his innocence, ignorance and innovativeness for the sake of living. He succumbs to the so-called ingenuity of the industry, which teaches nothing more than keeping himself abreast with the company's policies and his colleagues progress. It is no longer a question of creation but continuation. He just needs to hang-on and keep repeating the words ("I can do it!") in his mind, even though he knows that he is much more capable.
The question arises, why did he give up? Why he never looked for that euphoria of invention/creation/discovery/adventure again?
- No Answer
Only thing that comes to my mind is, "This is 'Life' and time is the best teacher". May be he would soon learn; may be he would soon love; may be he would soon live.

Dude, you got it wrong... Its not about IT world, its more about Science vs Business, Technology vs Corporate World... IT is just one dimension of it. :)
And regarding me succumbing to the IT world... am not one of those with "more capable" mind, however would surely like to be ;)
