Would you leave a "High Profile Job & Fat Package" for "Higher Education"????

We aim at MBA as a key to success for a full fledged package which comprises of high-end designation along with excellent remuneration. Taking the scene other way round, how far is sacrificing the well paying job and profile for entering into MBA justified??

It all depends whats your priorities because a person in his 40s would not be gonna go for it but a youngster can go for it as risk taking capability is higher and responsibilities are less which is vice-versa in case of a man in his 40s.......!!!!!!!!!

The well paying job and profile, if doesn't bring happiness and satisfaction to the holder, is not worth it.
