Is MBA gonna be safe in the future? Help a junior out.
I am someone who is about to go to college this year for Btech and graduate in 2030.
The problem is that our job market, especially the IT sector, is in great danger. The job market is very bad these days, a part of the reason is directly or indirectly AI, either companies doing mass layoffs to invest in AI data centres or directly replacing their workforce by AI agents with fewer people. It is getting incredibly hard for freshers to join the corporate ladder.
That's why I am thinking of doing Masters, particularly MBA after btech(possibly after 1-2 yrs of btech if I somehow land a job) so that I can successfully be a bread winner for my family and earn well.
What I want to ask is that is the MBA field safe from AI? Are Managerial roles in future gonna be safe like how they are today, like IIMs report nearly 100% placement rate and most above 80-90%+.
Buisness schools cost a large fortune for which I will probably have to take an education loan, am just afraid if by 2033/35(my Master's graduation) AI gets so advanced that it replaces managerial jobs too in the corporate and what will happen to fellas like me who took loan or SMTH for MBA.
Btw my profile till now is like this:-
10th: 90.8%(best of 5), 90.4%(Main 5), 89.16%(All 6)
12th: to come
