Subject: Career planning for Mechanical Engineering
Date: 19-Aug-2002
Question: I am a Mechanical Engineer working in Volvo since last 1 year in after sales and service department handling service agreements & warranty claims. I am planning to do M.B.A. in Marketing. Will this help me in future? Should I leave the job and do M.B.A. or should I do Part time? Guide me.
Answer: Do not even imagine of leaving your job and doing higher studies. Stay put. You are gaining experience as you work your career up. Volvo is the right company. You will understand aspects of Quality.
Do an M.B.A. part time. It makes more sense that way as you can relate what is taught in books with actual life. It is continuous training of yourself.
