Career Counselor at EduGroomers
Most people when passing out of college, dream about doing an MBA. Despite the program’s immense popularity, an MBA course is certainly not the best option for every individual. Your career goals and aspirations eventually decide whether or not MBA is the right course. MBA is a draining program and requires a great deal of time, money, commitment and energy for those who are not ready for taking up management as their career path. Therefore, it is necessary to make the right choice. Here are a few guidelines that might help you in taking the right decision.
  • Go for MBA only when you have a long term career plan in mind. Also do plenty of research to determine whether your expectations from the program resonate with suitable job opportunities of your liking.
  • Some MBA programs also require work experience in order to qualify as a potential candidate. Therefore it is essential to assess your work experience before taking up such a program as it might not fetch the desired results.
  • Are you an entrepreneur? If you are one, there is probably no reason to join an MBA program. MBA program is usually essential for those who wish to seek a job in the finance or management sector. Practical short term courses from IIMs or Harvards would be more useful than a one or two year MBA.
