How to become a Legal Secretary?

How can an Indian become the Secretary General of the UN?

• What education, qualifications and experience does an Indian need to become the Secretary General of the United Nations. Which Colleges are best (in India and Abroad)? Which degrees should one opt? How many years needed?

• Answer:

  My answers are no different for an Indian than for someone of any other nationality. Looking at the last several Secretaries-General, you will find that most or all have come from lengthy careers in diplomacy or foreign service within their countries, usually having served as foreign minister, and usually having worked in the UN system in some way as well. That sort of career would likely be preceded by an undergraduate degree in political science, economics or business, and graduate work in law or public administration (though not necessarily a doctorate).  It would be seen as normal to do your undergraduate work at a good university in India, then do your graduate studies at top schools in the UK (Oxford, Cambridge, etc.) or the US (Harvard, MIT, Stanford, etc.). The most important thing, though, is to be good at what you do, and well-regarded.  If you get into the foreign service, you are one of many, and to rise through the ranks to foreign minister, you will need to be seen as the best of many. And even as foreign minister, you are one of a couple hundred foreign ministers from countries around the world, so to become Secretary-General, you must again be seen as the best of many - or at least, the best of those who are interested. So study hard, work hard, be a good person, and hope for a lot of good luck.
