Please clarify my doubts

1.I am working in an IT firm Cognizant Technology Solutions,India as a software developer....And I am working here for around 3.5 years.......I am having BTech in Electronics and communication Engg from NIT Jalandhar....

2. I would like to switch my carrer from IT which i personally don't like

3.I like to study abroad and also heard from friends that singapore and Switzerland is the best destination for courses in these directions.....

4.I am mainly looking for Singapore due to close proximity with India and budget constraints

5.Are the Quality of Education from Singapore is good and have a decent standard...?? Should I start thinking of another destination??

6.Are the colleges I have seen is good and are they reputed and the courses are recognized??(I got the names from Singapore Govt Websie)

7.I would like to know about the future and job prospects if I do an MBA with hotel management as specialization.

8.What is the average pay one can get after doing this course??(after all what my ultimate aim is to work in this field quite some time and earn a good amount of money and start my own hotel ..)

9.Also,I am worried whether going in this direction, quitting my decent paying IT carrer and my experience is a foolish decision or not???

10.Will I be in a better position than what I am currently?(both financially and quality of work)....

There are excellent schools in Singapore, but they are very competitive. You will need a strong work record, great GPA and outstanding GMAT score to be accepted. There are several sources that rank international business schools. Two good sources are the London Financial Times and topmba.com. You can also find information on the school websites. Most schools will tell you what the average salaries are after graduation. Individual salaries, however, vary greatly depending on the field. You should check the field you are interested in to see what the entry salaries for MBAs are likely to be.

Career switching can be difficult. Schools do not want to be seen as places to escape a bad career decision. You will need to identify a career path you are interested in and be prepared to explain why you want to work in that field, how your skills and experience prepare you for that industry and why you believe you will be successful.

Only you can evaluate whether leaving a successful career to start over is a good move. If you are unhappy, the chances for continued success are not great. however, if you are looking at a field in which you have no experience, that can be risky. You may want to get more experience in hospitality to see whether that would really fit your skills and interests.

Good luck,
Tani Wolff
