education- a race!:(

when a child is born,his parents have a lot of expectations about who he should be tommorow. the years to come then becomes a race for them to fulfill their dreams. as the child grows older, he develops his own individuality and unravels his area of interest. he then tries to build a career in his field. sometimes parents agree to this and somethimes they dont. the result- unsatisfied children.
by Gods grace, i have parents who never enforce their choices on me. i was always given the choice to choose how my life should be. after much thought, i concluded that my field is something related to entrepreneurship. thats how i decieded to take an MBA.
but one cannot walk into a college just like that. you have to write the entrance exam. for that, you have to get the form. an all india entrance examination like MAT will have lakhs of students applying for it. and these very 'efficient managers' send thirty forms a day which is given on a first come first serve basis. and the whole of ernakulam has just one center- one branch of the bank of baroda office. and worse, just one form is given to one person!
if these organisers dont know the basics of managements, what right do they have to conduct a management exam?
education is and always will be a race for parents and children. but it would have been so much better if the system was more organised and user friendly!anyways, lets hope for a better tommorow. thats the least we can do!
