MBA in India vs. Abroad vs MS vs Job

    Updated on: 06 Sep 2023 10 min read

    ‘To be, or not to be, that is the question.’ Oh, Hamlet! Choosing between life and death – if only you would have been alive today, we would have told you that the concern you were faced with was so primitive in nature, so uncomplicated and honestly, rather rhetoric. Try asking 21st-century students because the question now is ‘To do an M.B.A. in India or abroad or to do an M.S. or to get a job.’ Now that’s a real dilemma!

    The available and preferred courses of action for Indian undergraduates vary, with the market ups and downs, industrial trends and fads, social media uprising, and lately, unprecedented Prime Ministerial schemes. But getting an M.B.A. and an M.S. remain top contenders nonetheless. Selecting between the two is no easy feat because your life literally depends on this choice; so here’s a little information on the pros and cons of the two programs to help you make the better choice.

    When To Get a Job?

    You know that phase where you don’t know if your relationship has reached that level where it is ready for the next step, when you think you don’t know your partner well enough and need more time to discover each other or when you just don’t think you are financially stable enough? Well, if you are actually in this phase, the way to assist your period of discovery is to get a job.

    For some people, financial conditions are not conducive for higher education and responsibilities need urgent attention – if you fall into this category, getting a job should be your plan of action to provide the required support. Once things stabilize, there always remains the option of going back and getting a masters. Some indeed take up a job with intentions to continue their education later. If you belong to the relatively small section of people who have found their dream job that also pays a decent salary, you should definitely not let that opportunity go.

    One very important thing to keep in mind is that a lot of decisions are often based on perceptions instead of any real exposure to the concerned field of work. So, rather than jumping to conclusions and deciding to switch your field, getting a job will help you broaden your horizon as most undergraduate education is focussed more on theoretical aspects rather than practical context. A job gives a fair idea about what is life you can expect in your particular field and whether or not you want that life. Having said this, there is a certain level of complacency that creeps in when you start to work and it gets difficult to then move out of your work cycle. This is why a lot of people who decide to pursue higher education after a short stint at a job never end up doing so.
