After spending 15-16 years to graduate in a mostly impractical education system, we need to then specialize in a skill which is what we will be doing in our job. I studied Physics, ended up working in a bpo. The only thing I use in life is language and Maths. Rest of the subjects are just general knowledge for me.

Ma'am "In a country like India, where over 90% of people earn less than 30k per month, many individuals from lower-income backgrounds simply can't afford quality education, and many end up with degrees from non-recognized universities that hold zero value in the job market. At the same time, AI is advancing rapidly, and the concept of 'infinite intelligence' is becoming more real every day, leaving us to compete with machines that have capabilities far beyond human intelligence. So, for those from these economically disadvantaged and less-educated backgrounds, how can they still build meaningful careers and stay relevant in this evolving world of work? What skills should they focus on developing to ensure they can compete without the backing of a recognized degree or traditional education? With no guarantee of success for anyone—rich or poor—what low-cost, practical pathways can they take to upskill and create opportunities for themselves, given that traditional education often feels out of reach?"

MBA should NOT be your Plan A.
If you’re 24 and confused, don’t just jump to the MBA admissions process.
As much as your parents and elder sublings are well intentioned and want you to apply but-
The world is so much more different than how it used to be 10 years ago !
As someone who's done my MBA from a Tier 1 institute in India with an exchange from Harvard Business School abroad.
The reality is MBA gives you a good network, and confidence. That's it.
But it doesn’t really teach how the world works !
So before you oversimplify your career with MBA admission journey- put up a fight.
1. Try getting into your dream sector without it.
2. Try selling something.
3. Try managing PnL for a vertical.
Try working with senior executives- who can teach you a lot of practical skills based on which you can get your next role !
That’s actually a real MBA.
And then if you want to do a degree, by all means go ahead.
Infact, you'd ask better and more important questions during your MBA journey.
Here's a free 3 part series on MBA's worth in 2025, feel free to check it out before applying-

So, don't self reject yourself before the world does.
The skills world is changing faster than you can imagine.
Now, it all depends whether you manage your pace or not !
