No sir,I'm through with writing exams. I like the streaks of red ink on my hands that I get on marking answer scripts.
But its never too late to gain knowledge.
Over the years I have garnered more than college education for myself-If I sit and count the real value of my education, I'm sure I.ll be able to make a long, long list.
I have polished skills, perfected my imperfections ,organised my thoughts and channelised my energies to ensure that when I walk into a room ,it lights up. Maybe not because of my imperfect beauty,or just touching Mensa score IQ, but because of my personality.
Yes...
I crack a mean joke.
I am a teacher, or as is fashionable today, I am an educationist.
I am responsible for not only my own,sweet child, but those under my wing who are yet to decide the path to tread on.
As I seek to counsel my own and those who are temporarily my own,I need to first educate myself.
There is a labyrinth out there. So many options to choose from,so many avenues that we ,siting in our own secure world are totally unaware of.
When I was scouting out some information to guide my kids,I discovered this site called College Dunia that has a comprehensive list of all colleges in India...
Well, most of them-as in the important ones ,it has.
All colleges for fine arts, economics, business studies, foreign languages and the likes are all there along with a rating.
I was interested in the management colleges listed on the website ,considering that the CAT exams are just around the corner on the second Sunday of December.
Many, many moons ago, I also cracked the CAT, but fate had marriage bells in store for me. And now I am beacon of inspiration for my kids.
Well, back to the website...College Dunia.com/management-colleges .
While catching up with friends, I came to know of a couple who paid a lot of money to send their son to an American College for International Business. And then I saw...MS Ramaiah Institute of Management ,Bangalore offers the same course for maybe a fraction of the cost. I know its all about the location, but sometimes the US may not be an option.So why not India?
The courses are all good ,but one needs a family business to run...
I also saw some private colleges...the ones which advertise on the telly,only, these colleges are not really rated. They just have their logo in place of a rating!! Check this out.
So, what are you searching for ???
