Missing higher education and doing some crap stuff.

Good internet speed. Able to visit conference videos.
First visit: Kolkata->Singapore (wonderful airport) ->Tokyo->LA->Phoenix
Mr Randy (CEO enucleus) helped me to manage wireless at 14k feet and helped me to adjust my logistics. Wonderful. I feel honored.

One of the problem is "Problem of plenty"...you have so many options to buy things that you become confused. I think this is a serious problem...
Last wednesday I went to Arizona state university(one of the best in US) for a guided tour...it was a wonderful experience...
Another advantage here is high speed internet...you can see live videos of different university lectures...that's my weekend timepass...
What I told before...if you really want to go for higher education US is the place to be...
I am a little bit confused about my career...want to go for higher education....or at least change the job of software...because simply put I do not like it...now MBA in US seems to me as an impossible proposition...money needed is huge...also it's not value for money...
Another option is MS...here I need some guidance...I consulted one ex JU student...she is bengali and based in US...she told that Phd is a tough proposition...you will become frustrated simply because of money need in US...
If anybody in IIT can guide me in this regard...
Now the time is against me...I really don't like to settle down in US...I like to be in India although it has a lot of imperfections...like to be close to my familty friends in their most important times(marriage etc.)...
so let's see what happens...I have seen nothing in my life was as planned...so I do not plan any more...but still...academics and literary world is the world for me...not this corporate world...its really stupid...
