Early career professionals often have a confusion: should they go down the path of a job or go in for specialised higher education. After graduation, some individuals immediately enter the job market and experience real-life work situations, whereas others apply for a higher degree to enhance their knowledge in a specific field. Some work for one or two years after graduation to first assess the industry dynamics and then get back to school to master an area of expertise. Which is the right path for you — diving straight into the job sector, pursuing higher education first or working for a while before going in for higher studies? Gaurav Yadav, Deputy Director (Admissions), Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Bengaluru Campus, says early career professionals have to make these choices, and graduate students have to decide if they should go for campus placements or apply for off-campus jobs, instead of pursuing higher studies.
