People will say that you can't compare an MBA with a SSC-CGL Jobs but that's not true. Off course you can do so by comparing on the basis of Economic aspects and social Aspects.
- Economic Aspect - SSC CGl don't need any investment but MBA does. A boy from middle class may not be in the position to invest 10-15 lakhs for a course and even after the course 60% will get 6-8 Lakhs annual package. People will say that MBA even provides 60 Lakh jobs but please have a look over probability. And if you are ignorant towards probability than pleas go ahead and opt for IAS.
Imagine you hae 10-15 lakhs in your account means you have a base and you get CGL jobs than dude if you have talent than you can utilise your name behind any idea and you will get more support from the people but if you don't have that calliber than even MBA is nothing going to change
Verdict - SSC CGL - Social Aspect - Power - In terms of power you can't even compare SSC-CGL with MBA believe me you might face a bit let down in work field due to presence of IAS but in the outer life you will be the treated like an important person. Social circle willbe heavily influenced by your position only. Imagine admission in Top tier schools for your child in the future. Your Name will be enough doesn't matter that you earn only 50,000 per months. It's an example only but the real power is a lot high i have mentioned. And if you are thinking that in Offices after doing MBA you won't feel any inferiority than you are wrong. Also their's no power outside your life even no life without your circle. Yes you might be getting 1 lakh per month but always remember that a government employ with 50,000 will enjoy a better standard than a TCS employ with a lac.
- Work profile - See ask yourself what are the chances that you are going to get MBA from a top tier college like IIM and 10 rest. If you have chances there than whats stopping you to prepare higher. And even if you are an MBA than what are your social or personal responsibilities and your threshold point. See private are going to suck the life out of you in India and if you are aiming for foreign than yes SSC won't provide such chances but the question is really the life outside is such alluring. You say that yes good standard of living and so on crap but while being an officer you'll enjoy those. Then you'll say corruption but again you might face some kind of descrimination. Only one bad day is enough to make you feel sad for the whole life even you're an IAS or Barak Obama.
People say that working ethics are not good or enough challenging and dude are you comparing the life of an Excise deptt or Income Tax or Narcotics with your fucking Bar code- Pie charts presentation. And even you are CSS than also the nature of work is same. please don't think you'll directly become a manager or so which have the authority to take own decision and in CGL you won't be at the same place. Now people say govt. people are corrupt or doesn't have ethics or working culture than again Vijay Malya and many others must be your idols.
Remember always- You can earn money even with the dirt but you can't gain respect or power with a dirt. Also the money you're talking about which makes difference is nothing but "Fitoor".
Also before comparing 60 crore per annum Sikha sharma or Chanda Kocchar with Arundati Bhattacharya (72 Lakh/ annum) always remember SBI is the one which supports the lower and stuck into NPA's also while supporting Higher due to immense pressure again stuck into MBA. Even working in govt. is more challenging. Maybe that's why private banks are ready to hire govt banks employ at thrice the salary.
So don't crap about challenges or working Ethics
Yes after 15-16 years money does make a difference but money is nothing in front of your reputation after working as SSC officer. Even that money is also depend upon your comfort level, Social and personal restriction and you boot licking abilities and also upon you callibar. Opt. for MBA only is you want to otherwise no comparison.
Please do remember MBA is also depend upon you Grad score, 10th and 12 and so on even in a hindi speaking nation your flow of english might decide. You maybe well groomed after MBA but a better social structure is a different story.
