OHH! It’s been years & I was solving this career jigsaw puzzle wrong
By just swapping 2 steps – I can opt & excel in any profession
WRONG STEP: Giving our heart out in a career & then analyzing the career path
RIGHT STEP: Analyze & find the career path & then give your heart out
Career path – be it conventional or unexplored need a holistic approach & MBA degree gives that prerequisite quality to handle the complexities of any profession.
In simpler terms “MBA degree should not be seen as an end to a passion but as a tool to pursue any passion.”
Some unexplored career paths post MBA:
1) Blogger – Have a knack of sharing be it knowledge/ information on travel, food, fashion, social issues etc. (category limited to your imagination) with a flair for writing.
Can take inspiration from these self-taught bloggers
- Amit Agarwal, Digital Inspiration.
- Harsh Agarwal, ShoutMeLoud – Shouters who inspire.
- Shivya Nath, The Shooting STAR ATM Network with Debit Processing.
- Amit Bhawani, AmitBhawani.Com.
Amit Bhawani even declared his 2018-19 income on youtube (more than 3 Cr)
2) Video Blogger – “who are you? I am a youtuber”, love to give this answer (you have chosen an unconventional career path).
3) Photographer – Photography is the story I fail to put into words.”— Destin Sparks. There is nothing more powerful than a story, love to capture timeless stories through pictures, be it wedding, fashion, wildlife.
How much a photographer makes depends 80-90% on their skills in business (20% photographs and 80% business)
