Wanted an MBA groom for my Engineer daughter

This very articulate
demand uncovers the true purpose of educating the girl-child. The value
of MBA or Engineering education has been reduced to a mere game of figures
established at the end of the placement of a student pursuing these courses.

Bachelor of Technology (
BTech ) or Bachelor of Engineering ( BE ) is considered as a
fairly affordable degree for graduate studies ( as compared to Health Science
courses ) and the best one  to sustain a
good life ahead. Somehow, an engineer finds means easily to earn a decent
livelihood as compared to his counterparts. Even wondered why the demand for
engineering students is ever increasing inspite of  various other disciplines in the stream of
education?? These faculties also provide for multiple opportunities and nurture
talents. Then, why the bias?? The engineering syllabus is holistic and
coherent. It trains a student to identify and judge a
problem, find not one but multiple solutions to the same and apply the best one
to get it redressed at the earliest and also in the most economical way.
The four year course is designed to rigorously test the student through
projects, assignments, practicals, biyearly semesters, internships and
threatening deadlines. The technical exhibitions and festivals provide the
opportunities to the budding technocrat to get a brush with the pioneers of the
industry. The course provides multifarious aspects for personality development.
This probably explains as to why more number of engineers are becoming
efficient managers. This statement in no way implies or claims
that Engineers are better Managers or MBAs for that matter. The Engineering syllabus definitely equips us with
the technical aspects of management. The courses are rigorous and professional
in character. We are under an illusion of management education being associated
with better designation, salary and most importantly – a pompous status. Though
statistics reveal the stunning figures of salaries being offered to a MBA
student, the management education has a different perspective which is entirely
value-based. The gospel fact remains that management
education is more of introspection and being thorough with oneself – ones
interests, confidence, calibre and credibility. Only then one
can be judged on the basis of what he/she has to offer to the organization. An
MBA gives you the confidence to veer off the treaded path; pursue your dreams
and gives an impetus to innovation and experimentation. The course makes you
acquainted with all the aspects of running a company, which is priceless for an
innovative entrepreneur. It provokes you to think of the state of country’s economy,
understand the investment options and reap the benefits. It teaches you the
path to create wealth rather than just make money. It grooms the person to
serve the best to oneself – only then can he be an asset to an enterprise. An
MBA course prepares you to face the realities of life while you are still in
the process of shaping your dreams. Doing away with your graduation is no
reason to get into a MBA course. The management course gives you a chance to
figure out your strengths, weaknesses, passions and harness them. It leads you
to the path of illumination, innovation and self-recognition. The
course is more spiritual than professional, because its truest form is about
self-realisation.

So, all my dear mothers, its
time you realized that your daughter is no longer a “Material Girl”. She belongs to an elite class of educated
professionals, and is willing to be tried and tested by challenges. Her
education has lent her the confidence to trust her independence………….and an MBA
husband is not
the only thing
on her mind…….

Dear mothers,

your daughters are really
reaching for the stars……..
