well anam the thing is..,..our educational system produces "clerks"... when the british implemented BA in British India, the first batch on an All Indian basis were 24, out of which only 5 managed to pass. (this is 1850's). Next year ofcourse they revisited the marking scheme and had a 60% result. Let me remind u only the most influential were able to sit for the exam. The idea was to just form a band of literate clerks who could implement what was shoved down from above. The same went for the coveted civil services. Unfortunatley the same trend is continuing down for a 100 plus years.
ICAP, LUMS etc. may be on a better foot, but still have a long way to go. Science is grossly neglected in this country.
But i must also say, there are people with degrees who make it big in the business, u have to have it in u too... i have an accountant friend who left the profession (after qualifying) and is into maufacturing in Lahore... he drives a pajero and visits europe every year....
Business is paksitan also means going around the bend and thus getting u r hands dirty, u know tax evasion and stuff.
Besides an employed person is too afraid to venture into something which is risky ! get my drift
