Happiness .. but it is very normal to think i can do much better than wat am doing now :-) and thinking part keeps me occupied .. u know .. the want to do an MBA .. was really wondering on why i want to do an MBA .. lets delve a lil shall we ?

Though I've read yr blog pretty late, it reminds me of my days of comtemplating over doing an MBA. Why did I want to do an MBA? The reasons and some after-thoughts r...
1) Reputation - Yes, that part is true. But still the IIT+IIM guys get more of it:(
2) Money - Thinking abt it now, I might have earned more if I had just changed jobs
3) Security - I was feeling insecure being an software engg. But now I know that a manager is no more secure. As one of my books said, "you will be laid-off atleast once in your life time. So, let it be early". Haven't u read abt the whole management being changed in companies during downturns? Well, I never wondered b4 as to what happens to them. Now it pains to think that way;)
The only diff in our reasons is the gal part. To tell the truth, I was never interested in getting gals. And I don't think u'll have enough time after taking the "responsibilities" in an office to go bhind one.
From my experience I have learnt - a person from NSN is no less than a person from an IIT. Its the work that matters, not the memory power.
