Different fields have different characteristics. If you're good at more than one, choose by matching them to how you think about risk and opportunity. Dear Bob …I am pursuing MBA.I have Finished my first semester, and now required to undertake a specialization course and have a choice of finance, marketing and human resource, quiet confused. The bigger dilemma is i am good in all three and unable to make a choice as i am good in all three.I have three years experience in hospitality-in five star deluxe hotel, done a 3 years degree in Hotel management.I would be highly grateful if you would please suggest what course to go choose. Looking at present crisis and aiming for future prospects.Awaiting your response,– Choosing a specialty Dear Choosing …I presume that when you say you’re good at all three, you’re also implying you enjoy them equally. If that isn’t the case, go for whichever of the three fields you like the best. You’ll win twice — you’ll enjoy your work more, and you’ll end up doing it better, too.If you like them equally, my next question is which matters more to you — security or opportunity? Finance offers the most security. Compliance and financial reporting and analysis requirements are only going to become more demanding for the foreseeable future, and for the most part, demand exceeds supply. On the other hand, Finance isn’t generally considered a fast-track-to-wealth field. It’s more of a steady track to affluence. While CFOs in large enterprises do very well, in general Finance isn’t the place where stars shine quickly and brightly.Marketing is more or less the opposite. It has some similarities to show business: Because it’s the most fun, has the best image and definitely throws the best parties, the supply of marketing professionals tends to exceed the demand. So most people in marketing tend to earn less and have less security than their counterparts elsewhere.On the other hand, top-tier marketing people can do very well very quickly, because they drive revenue and because really good marketing isn’t all that common anywhere in the world. HR is somewhere else entirely. The reality of HR is that in most companies the focus is on non-financial compliance, and the general attitude is that HR is a necessary evil — part of overhead; not truly part of value creation. I’m not saying that’s an accurate perception, merely a very common one. From a security vs opportunity perspective I’d have to say it ranks lower than either of the other two alternatives.On the other hand, if you enjoy HR the best, by all means choose it. I’ve seen some HR organizations that broke the mold and focused on what HR should focus on, which is helping leaders throughout the company maximize the performance of everyone who works there. It can be highly rewarding.Sadly, too few HR organizations have this focus, which is why I’m recommending caution when you think about it. A side note: From your name and your note I infer English isn’t your first language. If you plan a career in an English-speaking nation I’d advise spending some time, attention and course work improving your writing. As it stands you are understandable but not grammatical. Especially in Marketing this would be an immense barrier. Even in other fields it can cause difficulties.– Bob Technology Industry
