3 Good and Bad Reasons to get an MBA
September 29, 2018
It goes without saying that education plays a big role in your career no matter which industry you pick. However, when it comes to higher education, you can be spoilt for choice. This is because you can either get a master’s degree in your own domain viz. engineering, medical, commerce, etc. or an MBA instead.
The problem is that MBA programs are often touted as courses that can give your career a boost in the easiest way possible. A lot of students associate these programs with high-paying salaries and some of the best corporate jobs. However, not everyone may benefit from an MBA degree, not unless they have a good reason.
The following are 3 good reasons to get an MBA:
- You are genuinely passionate about business and want to learn the basic principles of running an organization successfully.
- You already have a few years of experience as an engineer, architect, etc., and now want to get a managerial position in your own company or some other company.
- A high salary and a job in a top MNC are extremely important to you and you are willing to work for it.
The following are 3 bad reasons to get an MBA:
- You are unhappy with your academic performance in the bachelor’s program and want to make up for it by pursuing an MBA.
- You don’t want to work and rather spend more time in college to avoid that responsibility.
- Your friends are preparing for CAT/GMAT and you think it will be good for you too.
MBA is an advanced degree which requires a lot of work and time. Moreover, you need a lot more than just a stamp of MBA on your resume. So, get in a business school only if you are serious and committed. Good luck!
