Is MBA a must for shifting career from govt to corporate? I need some insights for a background of 10 years in marine engg. to corporate.

Apurba,

After working for 10 years in one sector (in your case government), it could be a good strategy for anyone to reskill and rebrand oneself via an MBA. More over, many jobs require an MBA degree, so it also depends on what kind of jobs are you seeking and whether they require the skills you will gain through the MBA or not.

JBN83 has mentioned very valid points. However, I would tread very carefully on the entrepreneurship path. Entrepreneurship is not for everybody, and its extremely difficult. so you really have to know whether you want it as a career choice and then move in that direction.
