Most MBAs from the top-10 or even the top-25 ranked institutes

find some job and hence they are technically placed but many

of them are forced to take up jobs that could be easily

managed by someone with a basic graduation degree itself.

There are legions of MBAs in the field sales force ofharmaceutical or FMCG* com anies on the sho floor of retail

3

outlets, and in different types of BPOs and KPOs.

In 2000, there were about 600 colleges in India offering about

70,000 MBA seats. By the end of 2009, the number had

increased to 1,400 colleges offering about120,000 MBA seats!And this is increasing.*Fast Moving Consumer Goods

Things are clearer as far as what is required to get a good job

The entire question here ends in things likeAttitude,

Communication, Presentation, Body language, Leadership.

If candidates do not have these, it is tough for them to get good

jobs and grow even if they may have the best of scores or grades

5

.

On the contrary, if candidates have these skills and not very high

grades or scores in the course, they are bound to get good jobs

and grow in their careers.

It is next to impossible to directly get a job in Europe and

Americas unless the individual has completed his/her course

from a university in these countries itself.

Otherwise also, Europe and Americas dont require managers,

what they require are people who can work on technical aspectsthis too is not in a health state .

An entrepreneurs journey is the one ofendurance and

persistence.

For those who dream of going the Entrepreneurship way,

attitude, communication and leadership skills are indispensable.

They should be ready for client interaction, sales, presentations

11

.

But for them developing only these skills will not help. They

need to learn to develop a vision and a mission and then set goals

as per their vision. Without a clear vision, no entrepreneur can

be successful.

Generally people aim to get a job, with little vision for the

future.

After around 5 years of working, individuals getconfused and

perplexed. They feel they are a bonded labor.

Thepassion in their work starts fading away.

They start hopping jobs to get satisfaction but instead they get

raised pay checks.

Actually, they dont know what they ever wanted.

They never had goals, they had priorities. Time changes and

with it changes priorities.

This whole scenario leads to dissatisfaction about life.

There work becomes a liability instead of fun.

and choose a career that suits their needs, personality and

nature.
