FUTURE DIRECTION

Q- FROM AN MBA STUDENT- What can we do after MBA...?

Well I am surprised to see a question like this from a MBA student. I believe that most of the MBA aspirants have clearly defined Goals and have already thought about their future plans well in advance. Anyway if you have not decided on anything as yet, the best thing for you will be to first of all take an honest aptitude test. Consult your faculty members and other seniors from your family after the test results. If you are very strong in a particular area then your faculty & family members will be able to guide you appropriately.

If I were you, I will take up a job with a repuetd firm after completing my MBA course. Most of the times MBA students from wellknown institutions are recruited at the campus itself. After about 4-5 years of specific job expereince, if one is not promoted adequately, best thing will be to look for a job switch. After about 10-12 years of Sector Specific expereince, generally a person is fully in control of Personal Finances & relevant Professional Skills. That will be the right time for one to take ultimate decision. If one is an Ambitious and has Burning Desire to do something of his/her own then a person can turn an entrepreneur or continue with the job as per the personal aptitude.

Entrepreneurship could be very rewarding and it gives the greatest job satisfaction. On the other hand if one is not temperamentally suited to entrepreeurship it could be the biggest risk and very painful. While taking decision after about 10 -12 years of stable job and great security environment make sure, your decision is not an impulsive one and you are not carried away by the success or achievements of your friends or co workers. Give it a proper time, discuss with your peers and well wishers, check your finacials and your ability to sustain even if you do not earn a penny for next 3 years. If you think you score is less than 90 % marks on your personal assessment then it is advisable to continue the same career path and work for gradually reaching to the top.
