RE:How important is a MBA to succeed

Dear Vinod...
You say "Grapes are Sour".
I would disagree with your point of view to an extent.
Most of the candidates who prepare for CAT and other MBA exams, I have observed, are not made for being a future manager. However, they end up becoming one !
Little do people realise that MBA may not be their career path. They might have excelled somewhere else in life, for example, they might have become great scientists or teachers.
I have interacted with few IIMs pass outs and after talking to them I felt that they are not exceptional, as they are made to be believed. They are simply average or above average people who have worked hard for the exam at the right time and with the proper guidance. This does NOT mean that people who have not qualified or appeared in the exam are inferior to the ones who have qualified.
Moreover, its not all about the money honey !
People have varied interests and choices and NOT all people are going after the corporate world. Such people have carved out a career path for themselves with which they feel completely satisfied; even if they have the capabiltiy of qualifying the CAT or other MBA exams.
But people who have the flair and potential of becoming good managers should definitely aspire to do MBA from a reputed institute.
