Hi Ajay ! Please note that I have not said blind persons should not venture into the private sector. Having spent long years in both the public and private sector, I am quite aware of the advantages and disadvantages of both.
I fully agree with Sameer about the job satisfaction and learning that happens in a good private sector organization. But, I must say it also happens in a public sector environment too - ask anybody who has had the pleasure of working with Mr E Sreedharan of Delhi Metro, Mr Varghese Kurian, founder of Amul and former chairperson of NDDB and umpteen such professionals. A MBA from a prestigious B School does indeed make a difference in one's CV. Of course, as I said in my reply to Ruchir, one may have to contend with risk-averse HR managers and come out with innovative sales pitches to senior execs in the company to get noticed and picked up. So, go ahead and prepare for your B School entrance tests. All said and done, there are lots of other factors one has to look at while deciding one's career path. Whether one is disabled or not, the most crucial question one has to pose to oneself while deciding whether to start working or continue studies is about how secure one's family finances are. If one has several dependents and no other alternative sources of income, one needs a security net first and not jet propulsion to one's career. (smile) Public sector provides the security net definitely. I hope you are suitably confused after my long-winded sermon.

I have been reading all your views . one thing I realised that Mr Sameer is the first person who said in favour of private sector . coming to the point I have two options for my career 1 is to appear in cat and other 2 or 3 exams of B schools and the other is to atempt to clear the exam of a PO so I am confused in both these options I cant go for UPSC not because I afraid of a large number of books but for some other reasons and I don't have any interest to become a lecturor . I know that public sector has job security that may be the biggest advantage of it but as Mr sameer said private sector gives a chance to utilise our capabilities and take our lives to an advanced level . So I am asking for your valluable suggestions regarding this confusion because nothing has slipped from my hands till now . I have a time of 3 to 4 months to think about that . please try to help me regards On 1/25/12, Sameer <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear Friends, > > I agree with the points made by Mr. Sudhir in favour of a job in the public > sector but feel that the same points can be said for jobs in the private > sector.
