Is there really that much off-shoring work in IT in PK ?
are there training centers or schools in PK which provide education/training in this area? or is it on the job learning? Do you what kind of methodologies/processes/tools are in use?
[/QUOTE]
Yes! There a LOT of off shore development going on here. And also a lot of new local firms. IT is BOOMING here. Though, the salaries of IT individuals are not that good. MBA's are getting paid well though.
Trainign centres specificially for QA? Hmmm, I don't think so, but IT institutes are in every street corner.
Methodologies, processes, tools...I'm not sure but I think most of them develop their own unique ones depending on the software they are working with.

Monetizing one's skills and education is the right approach. If anyone tells you any difference, they are either incapable or their scope is limited.

Hmmm...yes maybe you're right, maybe it works for some people...? but I dono I never thought of it like that...my parents are both educators too and they also dont think on these lines...i guess it boils down to personal preferences and outlook :-)
Allah ka shukar hae my family and I'm living a a very comfortable life, what many would even consider luxury, we have more than we need, so I don't find making money a priority for myself :-) I feel like with that mindset one just becomes materialistic and always wants more maybe...?
I gather that you are an UGrad . You can pursue Foundation graduate
courses in Education and than move on to Masters in Edu.
I wanted to do Masters in Edu. But the courses are too easy.
And most of them are related to secondary education not Masters
level courses. Even the Masters in Business Education has so easy
courses.Childish, I might say.
take care

thanks brother rehman
i graduated with a bs last summer and i'm working now...i dont want to become a teacher but i want more to learn how to manage education at a macro level...so i'm still thinking about which exact degree to do...
i'm actually a computer science major, and i've taken some education classes in college and agree with u, they seemed too easy and not challening enough, like i was wasting my skills or something...i totally get u...
irem, count me in if you want to form a motivational group for studying for GREs. I am also planning to apply for Masters in fall 05, InshaAllah. Mine is going to be in Applied Math so I gotta take General and the Math one, since some schools require both. I dont even have the materials yet :( But after this semester InsahAllah I am going to focus on GREs. Since you already have a headstart, share with us any significant stuff abt GREs you have discovered so far. :)

Second one(MBA) abhee last semester hee.

As for your question, only Public Admin degree will give you the
wide range of specialization options.But It all depends on
which school you go to.
As for GRE join Kaplan. sirf $1400 for the entire course.
