Call it long term or short term..i am sure average humans dont live more than 85years..out of which about first 25years is consumed in learning..and about last 25 years in dealing with health issues. That leaves about 30 years of productive time. One can gamble on trial and error hoping for long term deal or else walk on more familiar path used by majority of ordinary people. None of them are wrong of course..

And of course in case of nepal one can always choose the third path..no education is required(ironically even applies to be education minister)..but be trained by a gangster like mahesh basnet or learn plenty of ukhan tukka like oli or be master of exploiters like prachanda baburam and madhesi neta..this has been proven time and again as sure shot pathway to the most prestigious positions in the country. Does it suk to be from the same country as these a$$holes? I think so..
