Social Impact of Software Industry

Currently, I'm re-reading a book, "Wise or Otherwise" written by Sudha Murthy, a head of Infosys Foundation. The book tells about SM's social/personal life experience. Its full of short stories where she had put all her good/bad experiences. Although stories are short ones, the messages they carries are really worth following.
One of the story includes "Social impact of Software industry". The scene was naratted around two marriage brokers discussing Software industry impact on marriage. Most of ppl from software profession choose their life partner to be in the same profession, which in turn is a good thing. Software engg. gets prestigious look as they fly abroad, gets lots of $$$. But, this has lead to many problematic situations. Nowadays, girl wants to marry a person from software profession, other professioners (mech engg, civil enggs, doctors, etc) are not getting prestigeous look, as their profession doesn't carry a chance for them to fly abroad, as they dont get good salary compared software ppl. Parent of software professionals asks for more dowry as a guy is software engg and has been flying abroad, many times.
Current rate in A.P. is around a crore for an MTech CSE guy. Simply ridiculous...!!!!
Does being other professioner a sign of less talent, a sign of useless work ? No. But...... ????? I can remember a song from latest movie, BluffMaster : "Na biwi, na Bachcha, na baap bada, na bhaiyya, the whole thing is that ke bhaiyya, SABASE BADA RUPAIYA".

If such scenario persists, all talent will march towards software industry, bcoz of parents force, $$$$ attraction, desire for prestigious look, aiming for good life partner, flying abroad, and wht not ? and.................................. ???????
