This topic has always interested me.Should I be satisfied with my job which pays me enough to live a peaceful and satisfied life or should i agakn slog hard for GMAT or GRE get a good score and again slog my ass off for other 2 years only to end up in company which might pay me more but will definitely suck my every drop of blood?
I always dreamt of me doing MBA from a hifi college and then end up in a company which pays me a huge pay and i can afford any damn thing i want in my life....but luckily or unluckily i got into ORACLE and one year down the line i really am happy to be working here not because i am happy with the work i am doing but because of the time it gives me for doing other things in life.I have enough money to feed myself,feed my car,go to some of the best pubs in bangalore etc etc.There were sometimes when i cribbed about the nightouts they made me do but nevertheless they had their own fun.
Now lets see the other option,prepare hard for maybe 2 or 3 months give my GMAT exam get admission into a good college.Everyone knows how hectic an MBA course willbe.....so again have to study hard,give presentations,exams nd blabla...I might miss the student life but I have seen 20 years of it.Completion of MBA course doesnt mean that they will just feed you with money.A higher package means higher responsibility, more and more work.They might pay me double of what i am getting now but I am afraid i willnot have enough time to even spend the money happily.
Finally my decision,i might not get huge payslips but i will have time in life to spend watever money i earn happily,i might not have a fancy car but i will have a car which will not only carry me to my office but some of places where i can get to see the world i actually want to see,I will stick to this job and go wherever it takes me...But but never know what the money factor can make us do.2 years down the line donot be surprised if i a post a pic with my MBA degree.Life is soo very unpredictable.
