You may try your luck with the army . You can also switch to civil service once you become Captain even without appearing in the written part of CSS exam. As far as power is concerned there is no parallel to Army in Pakistan.

Army as an institution is powerful no doubt ,,but as far as the individual powers of an officer are concerned , A CSS officer is more powerful than an army officer , I hope the question has been answered

Power! It depends upon the definition of power. I think power entailsresponsibility. ..

Perhaps the concept of power has been misinterpreted in our country a lot. As per prevalent norms in our country, power can be taken as another name of insecurity and fear. Insecurity of our reputation, our standing, worth, respect, honour, dignity and list goes on.... To some extent these insecurities are right given circumstances of our society.

As far as the question of power with civil services and army is concerned. Dear fellow, kindly concentrate on your studies and keep aim for both civil services and army. It is still not sure whether you are going to land in armed forces or in civil service. A good thing with the armed forces is the fact that armed forces is the largest institution and often at times of need it stands behind its officers While in civil, you get lot of opportunities, versatility and sometime quite independence.

However, keep in mind one thing, this power perception and its degree keeps varying. Sometime a Lieutenant may be create great troubles for a Chief Secretary/Secretary and sometime a BPS 17 Military Land Officer /a CSP can give tough time to a General and some time a Constable can be a cause of nuisance for a high ranking PSP officer. ......

To sum up, all power belongs to HIM... ALLah hi ALLAH hy, jisko chahay izzat atta farma dy....

Regards

Mairi advice yeh hai ke aap dono shoq porey kar lo..

First join Army.. wohan kuch saal stay karney ke baad maza na aaye tu civil service ke liye army quota pe apply kar do.. agar Army quota pe nahi huwa tu aap army sey permission le kar css ke saarey papers de kar civil services main a sakte ho.. iss tarah aap ki saari hasratain poori ho jaein gi.. kal ko agar aap direct csp ban jatey ho army main jaye bagair tu aap ki hasrat adhoori reh jaye gi k kaash army join ki hoti.. iss liye aap k liye best yeh hai ke aap pehley army ki tayari pakrain aur join kar lain aur phir agar kabhi civil services ka shoq jagta hai tu wohan army sey civil services main aaney ki try martay rahain.. waisey bhi civil services has quite big heart to accomodate such military opportunists

Here's what I would recommend:

1) Engineering degree: As an engineer, you have your options open to you. You can work anywhere in the world. You can earn a lot of money legally. And money equals power. You'll get to work in dynamic corporate organisations and enjoy a challenging career. You'll progress according to your merit.

2) Civil services: Only DMG, PSP, CSP and IRS give you "power". However, if you're an honest officer, you won't be of any use to anyone so you won't really enjoy that much "power". Moreover, you'll work in old-fashioned organisations where promotions and transfers are done on the basis of your political connections and personal friendships.

3) Army: The army gives you "power" in our traditional Pakistani society, where army officers enjoy plenty of respect. However, offset that with the negative aspects - a low salary, postings in weird places, restrictions, etc. In fact, army officers only enjoy nominal power when there's no military rule.
