In this hiatus from constant thinking about specialisations, I thought of everything I have experienced in my life. Prior to my work experience as a developer, I had run my retail store back home in Noida on ad hoc basis, basically helping out my parents who run the store. That is when it struck me that I was in the presence of Brands, suppliers, distributors and Customers since childhood. This made me take a keen interest in sales and marketing. Having seen the other side of sales and marketing (from a retailer's perspective) I was inclined to seeing what goes on at the other end. The role of Marketing management lectures and our professor can't go unmentioned here. Attending his classes made my interest peak in this domain and finally, I settled on where I wanted to land up - Sales and Marketing.
This is my story and that's what it is - MY STORY. You will have your own. you just have to look for it and no need going anywhere to look for it. It lies within you. We just have to look in the right spaces in our mind. I will not, at any point, ask you to pick marketing over finance or vice versa. All I am trying to convey here is that MBA is the final formal education for most of us and it is a high stakes game and thus requires a great deal of thought before you decide your future career sector.
Well, this is just the first step for me also, I guess as deciding on what I want to specialise in actually ending up there are two separate stories and that story, my friend, is for maybe a couple of months later.
