After almost 10 months of completing my MBA, I have finally taken the pain of scribbling in my blog.
MBA was an amazing experience and life post that is infact more amazing as well as amusing!! After 2 years of grinding, MBA grads enter job market with great fan-fare but very soon feel MBA wasn't worth it because what they are made to do post MBA is sheer crap as compared to what they did prior to MBA.
Inspite of all the disillusionment associated with MBA, I feel MBA is worth every penny. MBA makes you versatile and gives the confidence and knowledge for every damn job that's on offer!
It's not that what average pay-packets MBA from good B-schools get can't be matched without MBA degree as many smart engineering folks end up earning more but the fact of the matter is doing what you are good at and what you enjoy doing is what makes one successful.
Life's post MBA is more comfortable as well as intellectually gratifying. It's not fair to seek intellectual gratification from just routine job. One has to be really lucky to land up in a job which challenges your wits every day but there is life beyond your office hours. Tracking the market, beating the analysts forecast, analysing the fundamentals of a stock , putting your hard earned money into market(however small!) and see it fetch returns makes you realise all that you have read isn't waste!! Even habits like reading a business newspaper every morning and staying abreast of latest happening is something which is by-product of MBA. We put up many small little habits which has the potential for big changes in the way we see and approach every day problems in life.
It's not that MBA produces people with only "fire in the belly" :)
It also produces people who realise that it is equally important to enjoy your life, take care of health, give time for family, do what you like doing, sleep like a corpse, work hard....instead of being single mindedly be career oriented, realising when you grow old that you haven't enjoyed your own wealth and success!!
