Career choices

The current employment opportunities got me thinking of alternative career choices. The two listed here are challenging, have tremendous revenue potential and scope to grow into something much bigger than I can imagine…

Production and Manufacturing:
Rabbit cultivation seems like a nice money spinning venture. Come to think of it, I've even heard of the term 'breeding like rabbits', so supply of the meat should not be an issue. They don't do much except hop around eating food (grass mostly, haven't come across the non-vegetarian types yet) and pooping all over the place. Yet, they have an amazing self-defence mechanism. They don't put up much of a fight but rather give you the ohh-cho-chweet, cute look which melts the heart of the predator straight away. It would be more gratifying if they were a wee bit bigger with evil eyes and sharp nails that could tear you open if you tried to get near them, a devilish tail, large crocodile teeth or better, venomous fangs…and a wicked grin to go along. It wouldn't be so danged hard to kill the creature then. Guess I would need to hire a sadistic fellow seeking revenge for his allergy to bunny fur to do the dirty work. And the manufacturing part? Purses, soft toys, shawls…you name it!

Organized Sector:
Although facing stiff competition from begging syndicates, am still hoping to earn some respectable revenue from this one. BAI (Beggar's Association of India) will have branches all over the country (no reference to Mr. Shiney Ahuja, no pun intended). A city like Mumbai easily has around 500 traffic signals (people give alms to feel good about themselves here), 20 railway stations (here, people are in a hurry and don't pay much attention to what they are shelling out) and 1 airport (lots of firangs and sentimental NRI's, will earn in dollars) where a constant income can be guaranteed. It has the potential to make around Rs. 51,500 per day or Rs. 15,45,000 per month. Heck, am gonna be super rich by the time this becomes a national level organization. I could then start my own college (BAI college of engineering and varied arts) or a university even! And it will be like a hands-on MBA that will get me competing with the likes of Warren Buffett and Bill Gates … 8)
