dont worry, u will get a Job. With such a booming economy, u shud if u know how to speak english and how to run ur fingers on the keyboard, which I think u know...

call-center work-exp is accepted.. If u wanna do sth diff, try to join an NGO..

If NGO thing does not work out, Tech Support is fine.. You can always explain your learnings there in a positive sense..

And After MBA too, u might get a Lead Position as a lteral in BPO sector.. or IT Support sector..

Its a good idea, the only catch is tht once u enter an MBA class, ur preferences tend to change..

So ur extra education may go waste if u join irrelevant company.

please post here.. its an old dead thread.. post in relevant thread to get better guidance
http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/cat-an...essionals.html (CAT 2008 for Working Professionals)


as my personal opinion.. do that thing which satisfies u..dont carry any burden..coz think how long u can carry that..also is MBA really fits in ur plan..or is just another desperate jump.. do think about it...
