Introduction
In the professional aspect of life, it is always good to follow one’s heart while choosing among a variety of options. For instance, the career choice that one makes is always bound to affect the rest of their lives. I have always dreamt of being a corporate manager and thus I am decided to pursue an MBA that would help me achieve my dreams. The Jungian personality self-assessment is very instrumental in making people choose the careers that they are best suited for. This paper discusses how the Jungian personality self-assessment has helped me in choosing my career.
Main Body
Pursuing an MBA has been my personal goal since undergraduate and will help in my career progression as a financial manager in the corporate world. This will also increase my chances of securing a good job with good pay as most jobs for managerial positions have attractive salary packages. I believe that I will be a very successful student in pursuing my MBA because my Jungian personality is that I am always time conscious and that I am able to compete with my peers.
Another reason why I am sure I will succeed in studying for an MBA is the fact that I exhibit type A personality. This also makes me an appropriate candidate for the positions I will be eyeing after completing my MBA. This is because with type A personality, I am business-minded and highly aggressive. My inability to relax when I have work to be done also makes me an appropriate candidate for managerial positions and thus studying for the MBA will be very helpful. With type A personality, I exhibit a controlling personality that makes me want to take responsibility for organizing for success.
According to my Jungian self-assessment, the characteristics I possess as a type-A personality, along with the many others I possess are just some of the key ingredients to the recipe for an excellent and successful business manager. These characteristics will propel me to become a successful business manager able to head a large corporation using my skills to benefit the organization in growth as well as increasing profitability.
According to studies MBA has emerged as the most sought-after graduate degree program. This is so because an MBA is the prerequisite course for high paying managerial jobs in the corporate world and also because career progression in MBA-related jobs is easy (Camera, 2006, p. 5). An MBA will allow me to increase my business knowledge, add to my current expertise, and enhance my management skills.
Throughout the MBA program, students learn a variety of management skills, develop leadership abilities, and form alliances with other people. These skills are very important in managing people and negotiating business deals and agreements. A variety of other skills are also acquired in the course of the MBA that help the student in both their personal and professional lives. In gaining all of these necessary skills, my credentials will strengthen. This is one of the main reasons why I decided to pursue my MBA.
Every good thing comes with challenges. Similarly, obtaining an MBA may prove to be very costly but the good thing is that the MBA is worth it because it brings unequaled returns. During an MBA course, you and your colleagues form bonds that will most probably last forever, the outcome being, on top of everything else: “speaking the same business language”. This network of MBA students will be fruitful throughout my working life and beyond, and often I will find my colleagues come from the least expected corners of the world. The MBA package comes with a score of subjects that ensure that students get a lot of knowledge that enables MBA graduates to become successful managers.
The scope of MBA subjects is also wide covering both national and international matters. It will also be resourceful to pursue an MBA since I will be able to come up with business ideas. This can be evidenced by the success that MBA graduates experience in their lives. It is common knowledge that some people have made it in business without MBAs. However, we must appreciate the fact that an MBA gives one instrumental expertise to carry out business functions.
The financial benefits enjoyed by people with an MBA degree are greater than those with an undergraduate degree. Educational achievement is a very crucial aspect of any profession. The amount of money that one gets as his/her salary depends so much on the education he/she has been through. It is thus apparent that advancing to do an MBA will have an exponential effect on salaries. An MBA should thus be the course to study for people who have been trying to advance in their careers without succeeding. From the detailed discussion above, an MBA is very good for people eyeing managerial positions in all kinds of professions.
