" Why do I want to do an MBA?"

" Why do I want to do an MBA?"
As the CAT season in india draws nearer many propsective students would try to pen down answer to the above question, in the most rich, verbose and intellectual sounding words.
But folks try to be honest and design your words such that it brings out an yearning for learning and growth.
Reasons could be many:
> - To understand the business intricacies at a holistic level
> - To understand the drivers of a Business
> - To understand how 'money' can be better utilised
> - To be in a better position to manage larger responsibilities
> - Last 9 years have been too focussed doing one thing, would like to expand my boundaries that I am flexible enought to do more.

Now some more Gyan:
People would genrally do an MBA because they believe:
> - It is a Short cut to More money
> - It is a Short Cut to more knowledge
> - It is a way of escaping the monotony of the present day work life
Everyone hopes, that MBA would be a capsule which would change the way life has been.

Honestly, it does change but few people are able to appreciate how it changes.
> - There's no gaurantee that it would change your take home salary
> - There's no gaurantee it would give you a promotion
But the thing that chnages is your thought process - the way you think . The way you look at problems and try to find a dolution.

It is something like this...Why shall I got to school, I can learn a lot from Common sense, my parents and the world around me...but end o fthe day we still go and find it very useful, don't we??
