Yesterday, I watched Hyderabad Blues 2 and remembered that the director/actor Nagesh Kukunoor did his masters in US. He worked here for a few years, but apparently moved to India to follow his passion of film making. So, thought of listing down a few alternate career paths if things dont work out here....
1) Chef - since you have got no choice but to cook your own food, unless you are filthy rich(read your dad's filthy rich) or have got dumb roomies who wont mind cooking for you everyday,(probability of that happening is miniscule) your culinary skills would certainly improve with each day.
2) US education consultant - Ya a no brainer, advising young students, who have absolutely no idea of higher education in US would be a cakewalk.
3) US accent trainer - 2 years in US, you will certainly learn to imitate the american accent. With a little more effort, you could learn the texan drawl or the western dialect. The innumerable call centers back home would fight for you.
4) Author - Just like five point someone, pen down your experiences and who knows, your book might just become a hit. If bhagat's novel can be published, all average writers should dream of publishing theirs too.
and finally
5) Philosopher - You may or may not master the subject that you came to specialize in, but if you dont get any internships, jobs and funding, you are sure to become an expert in philosophy.
To paraphrase Socrates' famous quote:
By all means, do an MS. If you get a good life, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher..
:))
any other paths??
