Return on Investment

These are one of those times when I wonder to myself, am i getting my returns on getting my MBA, would I be able to do my current job if I would not have done my MBA. Answer to first part is a big NO and the answer to second part is partial Yes.

So what did I gain after spending 2 years of my career and all the lost opportunity that has gone with it. Had I not opted to go for an MBA in 2007, I would have travelled to Toronto, Canada to work as a client manager for RBC, Canada and stayed there for full 1 year or may be more and after that I would have switched to join another company to get a better pay hike and of course salary hike.

Money is lost, time is lost, so what did I gain ?. Definitely, confidence, ability to connect the dots and understand the big picture & analyze the business problems. Now neither do I panic nor stress if faced with new problem. I dont hesitate to even talk with my company COO, I can be at ease even when
talking with strangers. MBA did helped me to learn the business fundamentals and confidence to work with senior executive level person BUT was it all worth of time and money if you are not getting full financial returns out of it OR ......... ??

After all in the end its all about returns and investments, that is what MBA has taught me......isnt it.I wonder to myself??

These are one of those times ............
