Which option is better: pursuing MBA or job in marketing?

Pradeep, this has always been an eternal question facing students at all juncture but especially after graduation, whether to study more or get a job. Sometimes even more difficult whether to accept the job offer or accept the admission to a prestigious course. The right answer totally depends on the student's passion, financial situation, goals/ dreams and of course the environment. It is difficult for a student to assess how the future is unfolding, so they can't pinpoint what could be good for them in future. And also, also no advise is final, so it is best to pick one direction that you prefer and move ahead without hesitating with undivided focus so that you don't suffer from paralysis due to inaction. Finally, my choice is usually to get real world experience over any paper degrees. So unless what you're going to study is going to get you real world experience, i would prefer doing a job and learning. Additional learning is anyway a must and I would always do it at a personal level. Wish you the best for your career. Remember, your Career is a resultant of your knowledge combined with your passion and expression ability. If you like this answer you may select it as best answer or press like

In these days of turmoil, jobs are not in plenty. So, a job is preferable, but you should not regret at a later date for not pursuing a course of study. So, check your priorities and make up your mind. check your confidence levels. A greatly confident man can do any thing.

You should first do job for at least 2-3 years duration and then you should decide about for an MBA. You should always opt for tier 1 level B school as doing MBA from any institute does not help for a good job. Average salary of all B schools together is around 12000 per month which is definitely not a good package. While doing job, you may prepare for CAT and you can really see whether you can make to tier 1 B school. After the end of 2 year, anyway, you will have fair judgment of type of B schools you are getting, average package you may get and you may also have option to pursue executive MBA.

Dear Pradeep First of all, I wish to know the job position in Marketing if it is relevant with your qualification and Management field or not. Doing job in a very low salary scale will not add up to your profile. Therefore before getting in to corporate field get yourself MBA degree from reputed Institute.
