2) Kindly tell me the few professional/monetary valuable best fields to concentrate upon during my studies so that after completion of course, I take a job in that field..say investment banking or ......

Actually I want 2 qualification .. one is CA and another one you would suggest...., and these 2 qualifications should be professionally sufficient to get a top notch job in 3-4 fields you suggest me to concentrate upon...???

Thus, please tell me qualification to pursue and fields to concentrate..

I would really appreciate an elaborate reply discussing pros and cons of each one and decision for one degree thats most suitable for a person who would stay in India forever..most probably.
