‘Complete your undergrad and start preparing for your MBA exams’ has become the mantra for most of the Indian undergrads. I tried asking many on the reasons for their wish and was surprised by the answers: The salary criterion beats the others hands down. Next comes career switch, boring job, bad managers, etc. But some others were clueless. Can you imagine 20-year-olds saying I need an MBA just because my friends are doing it?

I’m doing my MBA right now at Asian Institute of Management in Manila now. Don’t ask me which category do I fall under (hehe!!)?

But right after 1 or 2 weeks, I found out that this program is not for the faint hearted. And if you are doing an international MBA, be ready for a cultural shock initially. I was totally taken aback by the “cultural change” between India and the Philippines. And over and above that, we had classes right from the next day of arrival at Manila. Imagine a plight of a tired traveller yearning for some sleep to be stuffed with books right on the first day?? Be ready to see animals and sea-food on every plate with smells driving you crazy (if you are a veggie!!). By ordering vegetarian burger, you might get to see beef/pork/sausages/mnopqr, etc.

Though a person with a decent accounting background, I had to struggle to read through 600 pages of credit and debit. I couldn’t imagine the plight of techie guys in the class. Wrote a basic test on accounting right in the first week and managed to fare decently well in that. 200 more pages per day of global gyaan on supply and demand from economics pushed people to their limits.

All in all, be ready to slog right from the first day till you die when you go for your MBA. If you are one really career-conscious person, you are at the right place. If you would like to live your life relaxed and with a bit more happiness, work from where you are or stay at home!! MBA is not for you.

Now, let me go and self-analyze
