Thats truie adeel ..u have started a good topic here'.
I m in total agreement to u dear .. actually the problem lives there in the system .. n one more thing that plays is d kinda atmosphere that u have around which counts on family and its background, gathering of frndz.. key how well equipped are our frndz that how much are they conscious about there future bcos sometimes when u r not getting exposure wid d family it is peer group that might lead u to some kinda good way out..
but yes one more thing.. even we students today are not making ourselves aware of all d developments round d globe which u can lay ur hands via net , newspapers, periodicals, supplements...but one more thing as you said of parents.. so i would sey key where parents are not so litterate u can not expect them to play best and just! and also if they r so .. they can help u find ways sure .., and about the attitude that they force students ...aaa..i would say key i am not if full agreement here .. bcos it depends how u tackle it all.. certainly if we shine more in one field .. they wont force us then .. but yes at the same time .. there r some parents who do so.. to uskey liye there is alwayz a way out no doubt!
.... yes you have rightly given d name dilemma bcos students have hidden talents which they can not discover infact one who says key knows himself or herself very well is not so correct in saying so...
but what is needed very much is this that u sow in time n reap d best in d best way....approach should be scientific n make use of all the things that are available to u... bcos it is one's art that how well u put things in places !
i wil keep visiting this thread its very interesting .. infact i wud like ppl to share their experiences...

i wud come back with mine later ...
take care
