Wondering
if your Masters of Business Administration is really worth the big bucks you
paid for it? Is it just a trifle, a trend that may poof off like bubble in the
coming years or is it here to stay? MBA is the hottest buzzword in education
magazines. Business degree demands high-profile GMAT score, and huge tuition
cost. So, how to put your MBA to real-life use that pays off your efforts?
1.
Get a Hike in Salary. Change career
track if you need to, but one thing you should keep in mind, Post-MBA employees
get paid 50% more than Pre-MBA candidates. This is rock-hard current reality,
researched by the Forbes. The only thing that matters is whether you’re
attending a quality B-School.

2.
Start a Business. Of course, a
degree alone cannot sculpt an entrepreneur out of you if you don’t have the
zest for linking people. But if you have it, start a business on your own. A
little below 3000 people everyday take up entrepreneurship. It has become the
second most sought-after MBA specialization. As an entrepreneur, you need to
build business models and have an active, full-of-zip personality.
3.
Have plenty of career opportunities. You can
opt for Financial Advisor, Accountant or Bank manager—the big pay sectors to
reap your rewards. This is where you get to go through Finance records, analyse
them, influence investment decisions and manage cash flow of the company.
4.
Free-lancing your way to a
successful consultancy can also be a hot pick. With major share of MBA grads
going solo as winning consultants, accounting, finance and IT sectors will hire
you to spot their pitfalls for a better future of the company. You get to help
an organization scheme its next move, or simply renovate the firm’s volume work
to render it more productive and economical.
5.
Ready to make the world a better
place? Conventional sales and HR don’t compel you enough? Why don’t you go for
Non-profit organization management? Manage big charity-houses that feed
children in Africa. Go for a one-in-million break in Alaska for saving whales.
Raise your voice and manage innovative cultural/social changes. Options are
boundless.
