Is MBA just a blind rat race

There has been this crazy obsession with people who are pursuing engineering. This obsession is commonly known as MBA. People with really good skills are forced into this perception that "a degree with an MBA will make their life better". Sometimes it's just because a neighbor's son got into IIM or any other higher institution placement. A sense of status in society is important to parents. So, they motivate their children to start preparing for an MBA. Even if you normally ask a student what their 5-year plan is after college, Their plans usually include completing an MBA degree by the end.

Today, however, we can see how the number of MBA applicants has decreased over time. Do you also have this curiosity about what the reason behind it will be? Or is an MBA really necessary? Today in this blog we are going to discuss why the MBA is considered a rat race. And is it necessary to do management studies to learn management?



Why do most students want to do an MBA?

Many people must have seen business schools promoting their MBA programs and business degrees. People who are perceived as MBA graduates tend to get qualified business expertise and skills. An MBA teaches the person various aspects of running a business, like digital marketing, business strategy, sales, and other necessary basics of running a business. There are students from different fields who have changed or jumped into corporate ladders. It is said that an MBA degree provides the opportunity to have a higher-level job package. A manager or a person in sales wants to change the field of HR.

An MBA is known for sharpening critical skills, which are today essential for a person to make a living in this world. Most students believe that an MBA degree changes the life of people.


Is it necessary to do management studies to learn management?

Being excellent is the goal of many organizations. And having excellence in complex and tough situations needs a good quality management system. So, if you aim to be an aspiring business leader or entrepreneur, then have a business management degree. But few successful business people don’t hold a degree in management. Matt Mullenweg is the founder of the site WordPress, which today has almost 35% of the web's power. He dropped out of the university due to his favoritism toward CNET networks. After a span of two years, this entrepreneur created a business behind automatics, and that’s how WordPress.com was made.

Another example of a self-made successful entrepreneur who made a tremendous impact in the field of the Indian media. Due to his family's poor financial conditions, Dr. Subhash Chandra Goenka, Founder of the Essel Group-Zee Entertainment Enterprises, was a school dropout. This legend today owns an Indian media network with 14 channels spread over 204 countries.

These people had gone through rough phases of their lives with determination, hard work, and a vision to create something unique and out of the box. So, exceptional people are there. Some people have the ability to learn from their own experiences. However, this may vary from person to person. With a degree, you get additional knowledge and it can provide the justification to get promoted from the current job position.


How does an MBA help to develop a person's overall personality?

Every individual wants personal growth. This plays an important role in both careers as well as one’s life path. The two-year MBA from a reputed institute takes a person on a journey of multi-disciplinary subjects and case studies of business organizations. All these programs are set to provide opportunities and challenges for the human mind to develop confidence. Here are some benefits that can help you understand them better:

● An MBA degree helps to shape minds, gaining the confidence to have skills in solving issues in the real world easily with the smallest amount of trouble.

● Interviews will be simple with the MBA course's concentration on soft skills training. People often have worry and anxiety when it comes to taking the next step in their careers. The MBA makes it easier.

● The knowledge provided in this degree helps people market themselves and understand how business and trade work.

● Additionally, it gives an in-depth study of the country's economic situation by allowing people to think more broadly and seek solutions through real-time polls and studies that can improve the process of problem-solving skills.

● Lastly, you develop intelligence to make better decisions in your daily life as well as in business.


Conclusion

Apart from being a famous person in your locality, you will be able to pursue your passion or gain additional knowledge. It’s totally your choice to select this degree, so don’t get pressured by the completion. Do what you feel is best for your excellence.

Letter from your Sarthi

प्रिय,

यह जीवन और यह दुनिया बहुत सुंदर और सुखदायी है, परंतु हम अपनी इच्छाओं के अधीन होने के कारण अपने लिए दुःख को बुला लेते हैं। मनुष्य जीवन का मिलना ही अपने आप में यह दर्शाता है कि आपका पिछला जन्म अवश्य ही आनंदमय रहा है।

आपने 'सच' को अपना सारथी चुना, इसके लिए आपका स्वागत है और बहुत-सी शुभकामनाएँ। आप स्वयं अपने जीवन के रथ के चालक हैं और जीवनपर्यंत रहेंगे। मैं या अन्य कोई भी—चाहे वे आपके गुरु हों अथवा आचार्य, आपके माता-पिता हों या आपके मित्र—ये सभी आपको अपने-अपने रूप और अपनी समझ के अनुसार दिशा दिखा सकते हैं, किंतु चलना तो आपको ही पड़ेगा।

कोई भी, चाहे वह स्वयं को भगवान ही क्यों न कहे, अथवा जिसे आप पूज्य मानते हों और उन पर पूर्ण विश्वास करते हों—यदि वे आपकी समस्या का उपाय किसी भी प्रकार की पूजा-अर्चना, जादू-टोना या किसी मंदिर में मन्नत माँगने के रूप में देते हैं, तो मैं कहूँगा कि यह सब करने से आपको मन की सांत्वना तो मिल सकती है, पर समस्या का निदान हो ही जाएगा, इसका भरोसा नहीं किया जा सकता।

'सच' (Sarthi for your life) एक ऐसा प्लेटफॉर्म है जहाँ हम आपकी समस्या का समाधान अपनी समझ और जीवन के लम्बे सफ़र मैं जो experience और अनुभव से सीखा और जाना उसी से करने का प्रयास करेंगे और इसी प्रकार की सलाह भी देंगे और रास्ता दिखाएँगे। उस पर चलना और प्रयास करना तो आपको ही पड़ेगा।

हम जीवन के अच्छे और बुरे समय में काम आने वाली अन्य बातों पर भी चर्चा करते रहेंगे, जिससे यदि जीवन में कठिनाई आए भी, तो आप उसमें से हँसते-मुस्कुराते बाहर निकल सकें।

तो आइए, चलते हैं एक हसीन, meaningful और सार्थक यात्रा पर।
