Is life all about a degree?
Today everyone wants an MBA degree after his name, even if he has done undergraduate in theology, as if MBA is an inevitable requirement even for the post of a clerk. Just open the vacancy announcements, you will see that each and every job needs an MBA degree- this is degradation of the degree.
There was a time, when having an MBA degree was a dream come true and only the deserving candidates used to enrol in this prestigious course. In the first world countries, even today MBA is considered as one of the most respected degrees. In those countries, everyone doesn't get the chance to enrol in universities for an MBA programme. Having one or two years' job experience is mandatory to get an entry in MBAw programmes. However, in Bangladesh having a two-year MBA degree is mandatory to get an opportunity even to drop a CV.
I think the compulsion of having an MBA degree should not be there, it has become a rotten piece. There are many fields yet to be discovered, such as 'development programmes' or 'disaster programmes', which can be the most creative opportunity for many of us.
