SWOT Analysis

well SWOT is a well known approach which is often (mis)used in the deep and secret annals of the so called top management when taking decisions regarding complex real world ventures.so what has this to do with taking decisions in individual life? this is where i come into picture :D

Inspiration:

1)the branch called information technology(information science in all the other colleges except mine) which included a course called organisational mgmt.

2)celebration of reaching the epitome of something know as IDLENESS

IDLENESS, n. A model farm where the devil experiments with seeds of new sins and promotes the growth of staple vices.

3)CURRENT 'AFFAIRS',n. something happening around you to your peers of late which makes you stare at your own reflection in disbelief

Assumptions:all the specimen in the discussions are engineers which can be generalised to graduates because in few years every graduate would be an engineer in india :D

so your profile goes like this: engineer,just out of college,if unlucky you are placed in some company,if not you are still on a job hunt;nationality indian.

Irrespective of your gender you have 4 options

1.find a job(preferrably in a software firm irrespective of what you have learnt)

strengths: nice option which adds a designation to your name which still has not lost its charm inspite of the number increasing.lucrative salaries,perquisites,incentives blah blah blah.increases your 'market value' atleast tenfold.and you can also multiply with the brand name of your company just to be safe beforehand than be sorry later :D

weaknesses:can become monotonous which makes you change jobs as frequently as a monkey changes the branch on which it is.also makes you go for overseas opportunities.has some costly and hidden features a.k.a deadlines,reporting,meetings

opportunities:ample opportunities to find your bitter half.overseas trips which again contributes to your 'market value'.option four mentioned below is a direct aftermath.you can get drunk officially :P

threats:might make you crave for something known as weekends and teaches you how important they are in life.contributes significantly to life processes called hair loss ,graying of hair.obesity is a mandatory feature which comes with this option unless special steps are taken.if all the things jus mentioned doesn't make difference to your life then this is the least risky option to go with.

2.go for higher studies

strengths:who will not agree student's life is golden life? higher studies as an option will add an aura around you and your parents who can boast of having their offspring studying in US UK and what not.and successful completion will make taking up of option one very easily and also give you the status of god.you'll become the official source to all the information regarding higher studies to everyone who wants to pursue higher studies your family

weaknesses:again you are forced to pretend being attentive in the class.maintain a minimum level of attendance.exams,project reports.also mightb heavy for your father purse.until you are ready to earn and payback.

opportunities:again ample opportunities to find your bitter half though it all depends on where you land up.enjoy college life once again.which includes the option of not taking bath daily,trying funky hairstyles,bird watching, playing games on the lan,watching movies,placement treats,binge drinking,passing out,going on dates with arbit ppl,dancing in the rain and so many things which are better censored :D and ofcourse ample opportunity to do research study and see tears of joy in ur parents eyes on the graduation day once again.

threats:risky when compared to option one.flunking is one of the major threats which makes you lose time,money,peace of mind,reputation make you look like a buffoon in front of other ppl and also decreases your 'market value'

3.start a new company

strengths:its one of the unexplored unventured area which offers great challenges time and again.keeps you thinking and constantly sharpening your senses.and gives you an identity which is something all ppl crave for.success makes you a celebrity whose story will be an inspiration to all who follow you taking this option.

weaknesses:you have to do it all.you have to be everything on the social ladder till your start up gets recognised right from the CEO to peon.you have no one but only yourself to blame if things go wrong.you have to work till you drop down with exhaustion.not the best option for gals no question abt their capability but known to cause family problems.

opportunities:you call the shots,ample opportunity to apply your creativity in each and every aspect.acquaintance with so many people.profits.success stories and what not.

threats:definitely riskier than option two.any wrong step will lead you to bankruptcy and make u a big loser.even if u succeed its hard to maintain the same tempo and zeal till the end.competition will make it even more miserable.as you grow so also will corruption,beauracracy,factions.
