Obviously MBA

"Beta, bade hokar kya banoge?"

- system error: question irrelevant

"Beta, MBA kab karoge?"

Try this - Bird:Peacock::Profession:?

Think!

Ok, here is a hint - Peacock is the national bird of India.

MBA! Yeah, right answer.
No matter which route you choose, this is to be your destination. Now what is left to you is to choose the best route. Earlier market used to give you a multiple-choice question(bade hokar kya banoge?), select one career option out of given four. Now there is just one option, but you can take your own time(MBA kab karoge?).

Now the Indian youth can broadly be categoized into two type - MBA and wanna-be MBA.

The difference between these two is the difference between the extent to which they align their dreams to their professional aspirations. Successful managers adjust and keep on adjusting their dreams to real business-like situations. Others don't.

The other important factor is properly designed parenthood and pedagogy. Proactive parents and teachers must take initiative and help their kids/wards getting oriented to real business-like situations right from their primary level. Softwares and video games are available that simulate short-term and long-term market scenario. Small-town parents may even consider outsourcing guardianship to professional parents having sound corporate background to get leverage over others. Also, schools must not admit students before SWOT analysis of parents duly done.

The founder of 'Cradle of Leadership' and internatonally renouned inspirational speaker Dick Dickenson suggests that the teachers need to keep in mind the 4 magic D's - Discover, Develop, Direct, and Discipline. He stresses upon the importance of original thinking and suggests the corporate leaders never to forget his 3 C's and 5 E's while taking crutial decisions. He also emphasizes that the need of a nice CV can not be over-emphasized. He urges parents to attend his 'the CV-oriented lifeTM' sessions. Here is an excerpt from his best-seller '7 steps to outshine Einstein'.

"Remember, every man (and woman) is born with a blank CV. With intelligence and industry he makes it attractive enough to secure a seat in a B-school. The key to success is 'a CV-oriented life'. You must keep your CV in mind while you read or play, and even when you don't. An unorganized life may lead you to a B-grade B-school."
