Even I would want to ask this question ... What do you want to become? But then I generally question the premises of that individual. @Sandeep - Yes. When you enjoy what you work, then work does not feel like work anymore. @Mayur – The first question is a good one, but what follows is really bad.

If everyone work on their passion we can see many inventions in the world. Yep I totally agree with you Kida.

When I decided to take up graduation and further studies, I was not asked 'What do you want to become in life?' I was asked, 'Doctor or Engineer? Or why not Architect? work with your father.' S***, duh! I HATE being stereotyped. I consult start ups and SMEs and I'm being asked if I'm an IIT or IIM or JBIMS or XXX pass out. Why? only IIM grads high flying MBAs get good ideas? I tell them, 'What will you say if I tell you that I have actually never gone to college? If you think I talk sense, implement my ideas. Why bother to trouble my roots?' The truth is, I'm a MITSOM pass out. Despite getting a percentile of 98.3, I could not get into JBIMS. I'm a victim of the god damn quota system. In any case, I never thought the MBA degree awarded by PU added any value to my knowledge. I think in the process of standardising everything, we ended up standardising the education as well.

Education is something that is to be seeked within the 4 walls of a school - and nowhere else ... people are trying to change this thought, in fact there is a school which has taken the trouble of removing classes and using outdoor experential learning as the default pedagogy :-) @Biggie – I think you have pointed out a grave failure of our mental mindset.

Since childhood, we are taught to be right at every point of time and we get awarded to be right. It takes us so away from being wrong at times that being wrong is considered as failure and failure is something we all want to avoid. Education comes in many forms. But we think of education as something that we get only in schools/colleges. Kudos to i-become! Prasad, I absolutely agree.
