I have done B.Tech but in a branch which doesnt interest me much. There are not much of the core jobs in my Eng. field. I got placed in IT company from my college and worked for 20 months. But lack of growth prospects, learning ( i was in department where i was paid 50k a month just to install applications on servers for clients and learn nothing but still work for 12+ a day) and harsh management (my manager was impressed with my work but was even more furious by my attitude for their policies). I thought of leaving my job and join my dad in business. He is into business which is again by no way related to my Eng. or IT. But now due to some legal issues we are not able to expand business as per plans so i have to work with dad in the same setup he is already running since years letting me end up with no 'responsibility' and hence again nothing much to learn and to cater my interest. Now, I want to do some new venture for my own with capital from my dad. But I dont have concrete plan already chalked down. I also desire to get MBA from reputed college before i start some serious venture. My question is, if i wait and prepare for MBA exam to get interview calls from colleges i am soughing after, how will i justify them what i am doing since i left my job. I believe this question itself dents my chances of getting into some seriously good college. What should i do now when i am on cross road, should i try for jobs again and look for some idea to start. Once i have some backgroud work done on that idea, i should leave the job again and start my venture? or should i just use this time to look for ideas and do research and prepare for MBA. If so, will it no affect my chance of getting into MBA? By the way its been now almost a year i left my job !
