There is a lot of stress on education, and there is a lot of competition once the individual completes his education. Irrespective of all the promises of landing a job after graduation, its not that easy for freshers as companies still want people who have an edge over others.

And at this time the student think that the MBA degree is an advantage over others when applying for a job. But, this is not a fact. I personally am not a person to be giving this advice, but i have heard from many people, that the MBA degree should be only gotten once the person has experience in his or her field. And then he should get the MBA for this particular field. The company then easily promotes him in-house, then hiring from outside.

The reason for this is that an individual with an MBA degree directly on graduation doesn't have actual experience in the field he is applying for, so the degree of MBA in fact is of no use neither to the company nor to him, as they will never hire him in a management position.

This of course is my view, and there are many contrarian views out there, and i would more than be happy to stand corrected.

I hope the best look to all new graduates, and hope them that they get the job that they so desire, but being in a management position takes years and years of experience, and an MBA degree only teaches you the theoretical's of the game. But the actual experience only comes hands on, and that is why the degree comes in more handy when you start from the scratch, and then it makes it much easier to make decisions.

Also one more point i would like to add, even after completing MBA degree, the individual is a management material or not is an entirely different discussion.
