u should choose the counselor carefully...make sure they are qualified.
yeah..I agree with Pablo...I went for 10 2 counselling...was a little sceptical at the beginning but the counsellor helped me narrow down my interests and abilities. M doing media studies now. and m happy Parents had wanted me to do MBA but I really didn't want.
