Mystory@Bhagyashree: How I made my career – Challenges and successes

I have done my schooling from Narayana College. I always wanted to be an engineer, and keeping in mind my aim, I chose PCM stream in standard 11. However, after standard 12, due to certain family issues, I chose to work instead of going for a full time graduation. However, I always thought that if given a chance, I would like to management in business from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, any of the IIMs or Indian School of Business.

Since I was working and at the same time pursing my graduation from distance learning, I decided to clear my 3 years of graduation papers in one go. Later, I realised that there are no shortcuts to success and I realised that a distance degree was not really valid – it was not very impressive for the recruiters. This is when I decided that no matter what, I will complete my graduation from a regular degree.

Last year, I took admission in BCom in Vandana College and I have successfully completed one year of graduation along with my busy work schedule. As far as career is concerned, I strongly suggest people to choose jobs that enhances them as individuals, and most importantly, people should love what they do. I have always loved the work that I did and that’s one strong reason for my survival in corporate world.
