Letter number 98 Your friend is asking for your advice, she goes to a university and can’t decide whether to study music or business management. Write a letter and in it say how you felt when you got the letter, what the good points are for both sides and what your advice is. Dear Sarah, It was such a pleasant surprise to hear from you. I feel honoured that you have asked for my advice regarding the choice of subject. Music and business management are very different subjects. Both have their own scope. Today, we live in a global village and doing any business in this era of globalisation would definitely need some degree in hand. If you do the course in business management, you would be able to start your own business or help a lot in your parents’ existing business. However, I feel that there is a lot of saturation in the field of business management. Considering your exceptional abilities in singing and playing instruments like the guitar, I would suggest you go for music. Music has a lot of scope today and people in this field are earning telephone-figure salaries. Nowadays many reality shows related to music are going on and people are willing to pay anything to get their children the best coaching. You have innate abilities in the field of music and a degree would polish you further. Music holds a bright future for you. Hope my advice satisfies you. Do convey my regards to your parents. Yours lovingly, Kiran
