OVERVIEW

Reasons

1. Your expectations are unclear
This is the situation where you know that you aren’t happy with the current job, but you don’t really know what’ll make you happier.

2. When your timing is wrong
When you apply too early…or too late…in your career, investing in an MBA may not be worthwhile.

3. You have incorrect perceptions about what you are signing up for
There’s nothing wrong in expecting a better job after completing an MBA.
In fact, that’s possibly the main reason, why you are planning to empty your pockets and take on a humongous education loan.
Business schools are smart. They promote the fantastic salaries and jobs their students have got. But have you seen any B-school promising jobs? Nope!

4. When it’s less about the degree…and more of an escape route
Everyone has job problems.
Right from the job description, colleagues, office politics, competition, lack of growth opportunities, salaries, brand name of the company and the constant fear of getting laid off, there’s enough to ensure that you start losing your hair and patience early on in the game.
That’s when the MBA brochures start looking enticing. All those air-brushed, high-resolution images of attractive smiling students give you hope.

5. Your choice of MBA programs is wrong
There’s a mind-boggling choice of options to choose from. Each one is designed for professionals with various career trajectories and aspirations.
full-time / part-time / 1 year / 2 year / Online / Correspondence / Distance / Executive MBA programs.
When you target programs that have very little street credibility, the MBA will not be worth much.

6. You are happy to embrace mediocrity
The value of an MBA isn’t just about the degree you’ll get. It’s also about who else was there in your class.
When you get into a program that has mediocre classmates, the world outside will think you are mediocre as well.

7. Your post MBA goals are too ambitious
Nothing stops you from assuming that an MBA will help you launch your million-dollar venture.
Your fertile imagination may also convince you that all this will happen immediately after you graduate.
Sorry to burst the bubble.
But, when all you’ve done before your MBA is software programming, it’ll be tough to get a front-office Mergers & Acquisitions job in a bulge bracket investment bank.
