Currently, I am a undergrad student majoring in Finance in Thailand. I will be done in December. I haven't done 10+2 -> only did the IGCSEs. My dad runs a jewellery business which I will join if I do not go for Masters. I have no prior knowledge about the business and I will move to India to train myself (it has been taken care of).
I am considering an option and would like an opinion on this matter. I was thinking that while I learn my family business under someone else's guidance, I also prepare myself for CFA. Since I am already a Finance undergrad, I will be furthering my studies in my field of interest. This would mean I can learn how to handle a business or "real world experience", and earn a CFA (provided I pass). But this would also mean boycotting the MBA. I will receive the experience through my daily training so what I might miss from an MBA at most would be networking.
Also, I might pursue a Gemological Institute of America (GIA) course at some point.
How do you think of my plan? Will it be wise to not pursue MBA? I am uncertain if this is the right way to go and would love to have opinions.
Note: monetary constraints would mean I will not be able to pursue MBA from an elite university.
