Do I take a Professional degree
I am running whatever the speed, I dont get anywhere. This is like running on a treadmill, my endurance is tested to its limits, but what do I gain? Ah, Sourabh dreaded the start of another similar week as he had experienced since a long time.
A bright Monday morning, the beginning of a new week, new areas for exploration, new set of hours in hand, new set of days to live a normal person would be full of energy ready to take on whatever the week has in store. But not so for Sourabh, the thoughts going on in his mind were disturbing. Leading life like running on a treadmill? This is not what he had started out to achieve. Where was he? What was he doing?
Sourabh was never a person who would be satisfied with the ordinary, content with following whatever others were doing and going through a routine. He was free-spirited. He wanted to explore the world. He always wanted to be an achiever, a doer rather than a passive receiver. Thats the reason why he embarked on his career very early in life. While most of his friends were busy studying and getting degrees, Sourabh had set out to get a different learning. A learning of the world. And so did he!
As soon as he launched into a job-search, Sourabh landed up a job of a sales executive with a mobile company. Mobiles were just beginning to catch the frenzy of the common person and Sourabh did well in his responsibility. His knack of convincing people and getting well along with them was giving him results. He was a mobile enthusiast himself and that enthusiam showed in the results of his work. Every new target that was set before him was a challenge, Sourabh accepted it with gusto and almost everytime achieved it!
Everything was going on smoothly. Sourabh had a job; he liked it, was earning well, was building up a good reputation and was quite happy about it all. His friends who were still slogging with coursework and college, were sometimes envious of their worldly wise friend. Sourabh maintained his relations well with them. He met them regularly and often took them out for treats and movies.
Life was a dream. Year passed after year in a similar way. Sourabh was living life on the fast track. Whatever he wanted to achieve, he was getting it. He knew the world. He knew his job and was good at it. Competition in the field of mobiles was increasing with more and more players coming in. That meant more effort for people in sales. Whenever a new model came up or a new scheme was launched, Sourabh was fully charged up to take it to the market in its entirely and make the most of it. This youthful fervor made him a star in his team. Increasing competition, tougher targets, new areas of exploration were not to pull down Sourabh. He was very good in his marketing skills and convincing people was his forte.
Time flew and so did Sourabh soar. He bought the bike he always dreamt of having, he was looking forward to getting married and settling down. Professionally also he had become the team leader and was handling a group of about ten people under him. He was satisfied with all that he was getting and life seemed like a flower in full bloom.
Eight years passed by and Sourabh didnt even realize how time just whizzed past him. Marriage brought on additional responsibilities and Sourabh was looking forward to keeping himself and his family happy in every way. He started working harder and work no longer seemed the enthusiastic challenge that it once was. Whatever effort Sourabh put into his work, he would get the same results he was getting earlier in his career. He saw himself at the same place. Slowly the feeling of not being given due credit for his untiring efforts was creeping into Sourabh. He started analyzing every action of his and the companies outlook towards it. He now felt that the company was not paying much attention to him.
Whatever would have been just a casual set-back for Sourabh earlier, was a major thought provoker now. He was still in the same company and with the same people. He had just risen a level or two above what he started as, but that was after putting in eight years of indefatigable effort. When he looked at his friends, they had taken up good positions in various companies. Led much better lifestyle than he was. All of this started to nag him.
It was in this state of mind that Sourabh was going about his work when the company had openings for managers. They advertised everywhere and even internal candidates were to be considered. Sourabh applied and got an interview. He had all the necessary experience and skills to take up the job, he was confident the company would choose him for the positionbut someone else was hired. When the new person joined, Sourabh was shattered. He tried to find out the reasons and came to know that lack of a professional degree was what didnt get him that post.
Lost and shattered, Sourabh was in a dilemma as to what should he do? Was he right in starting off an early career? He was so happy, what has happened now? Why are his efforts not getting him what he wants?
He started dwelling on the benefits of a professional degree now. What can he do to get qualified for that post he was capable of holding? Was it possible for him to leave his job and go back to college? He knew he had to find a way of increasing his qualification even while working. Quitting the job was not what he could afford. He was wondering if there was a good institute where he could get his education from without too much of inconvenience. In this age of technology and communication, there had to be a way and he had to find out
