THE JOURNEY FROM MBA TO A JOB

When I was doing MBA, deep down I knew that it was not the right decision. But I still kept going on thinking it might click later on. But as time went by, it began getting more and more troublesome and stressful. I was frustrated. I knew it wouldn't keep me happy. I kept going because everyone said MBA helps in future & so all. But then once my older sibling asked me if I really wanted to continue MBA& it was then that I mustered up the courage and said no, and then they asked me why I hadn't told our parents about it yet. I told them that I tried, but I just couldn’t because I didn't want them to be embarrassed or let down.

I wanted to make them happy.

And opening up about this to my sibling made me realize that no matter what, it is my happiness that will make my parents happy and not this MBA. Parents always just want their children to be happy. As long as we are happy, they are happy. And then my older sibling gave me the courage to talk to my parents and open up about this to them. It was a tough moment, to tell them the truth, but I am glad I did. Because then they told me to stop preparing for the exams if I didn't plan on continuing. And then we began looking out for jobs and I was slightly at ease as compared to before. I was afraid of getting the same job environment as my previous hectic work place, but I thought it would be okay, as I couldn't do anything about it now anyway.

Then later someone came into my life like an angel and gave me my current job & I am so relieved & have absolutely no complaints about it. There are pros & cons to every job, as no work place is perfect. There will always be some fault. But there are worse jobs than this & I am extremely grateful to God for this job. This is like my breakthrough.

So I would say, do what your heart tells you to do & you will succeed. Success comes in many forms. MBA is not the only one. It’s important to not sit around & find answers to your past about why things didn’t work out &question the current scenarios too much.

Take whatever comes. Thank God for it & Move on. Let it go & if it is right, you just might find your happiness.
