GRE or CAT or JOB ??

Filed under: Tech Buzz

My Aim :: No AIM.

My Future Plans ::  Plans emoticon?? No idea..

So , this is the situation of a great genius. (Nvr mind, I meant "my situation").

    How can anybody choose his/her career, when he/she has no idea on whether something works for him/her or not in the future ? If its just a game to choose something, then how come there’s so much fuss about "career plannin" ?

   Let’s take myself as an example here, I am always in the dilemma of whether to take GRE or CAT, i.e MBA or MS as my career options. Right now am thinkin of GRE.

   GRE :

ADV: 

* My Dream is to visit california atleast once.This will come true.

* A master’s degree. 

* Startin pay somewhr around 80K+ per annum, fair enough.

DisADV:

* Costly for a middle-class family.

* Should work hard in which I had no experience b4 (U know !! "IIIT’s").

* Live as a minority and has to work for minimal wages (ok ok !! "dignity of labour") but still.

STATUS:

* Ok CGP 3.2 . No publications. Aid is compulsary. Still preparing for Vocab etc..  

 

   CAT :

ADV:

* A great degree and packages if I got in IIM’s.

* We can boss around even if we know nothing, technically speakin. (a shallow thought emoticon, huh !!)

* Will get the confidence for establishing a firm ( this one suits me for sure ). 

DisADV: 

* I have to study management subjectsemoticon.. no wayyyyyyy,.

* Have to improve communication skills and has to be nice to everyone even, if they are mean to us… ( like those HUTCH call-center ppl ..poor soulsemoticon).

STATUS:

* Bad communication skills, Should improve english, should start preparin for CAT, esp. tech.
 

    JOB: 

ADV:

* First of all, no more study

* I got placed in a cool company. Free beer everyweek. (Ahh, come on !! thats every boozer’s dream).

* Dad’s happy with the package … for a while atleast.

* Can catch up with the MS or MBA guys, though I have to burn my ass for it. 

DisADV :

* Hike in the salary would be normal and I’ll be a bachelor degree holder forever. 

* If I can’t keep updatin with the new technologies then I am "done" for sure. 

STATUS:

* Perfect choice as per now. Anyway decided to work for one year.

 

So, thats what I think. Am so confused right now about my career. Anyway I’ll work for a while in the company I got into, this has been decided by the very genius (its "me" again).

    I think this is a thing that every final year graduate will be thinkin about.

 
Drop any suggestions. Ciao.
