Career Confusion

In a state where, there is no career other than Engineering and Medicine(at least in the minds of parents), Ashok suggests a way out.

Engineering was an overwhelming favourite. Law was on the radar — a few old boys had recently joined the National Law School. Only one said that he wanted to be an economist at the World Bank. I came away concluding that students were opting for occupations they knew little about. They desired the fast lane, or to emulate somebody who had been praised in family or society. It was more about things and others, not about work or themselves. [Hat tip: Karthik ]
