Hi,
I would like to know something about Plan B for your short-term goals. I have done a lot of digging to find out how to align your plan B goal to
Plan A goal so that they don't seem incoherent, but was not successful.
I believe most B-schools ask this so that they can ensure that the candidate is able to payback his finance(just a guess not sure about that

, but that is what came to my mind as a reason for the question).
Say I am basically interested in investment banking - have done a lot of research on that so I know it is not the easiest to get into and future prospects look even worse from various sources I referred to - and know some dynamics of it but want to be in realm to know it better and that is why I want to learn the technical knowledge it is comprised of. So in this case, how can I articulate my plan B or to put it in other way how do technical knowledge acquired can help me in finding some other job.
Also I would like to know if I can answer the long term goal also in sync with my short-term goals as most long term goal of the candidates that I have come across seem forged. I am not being cynical, but I don't understand how do you think that far.
