I am left with five months to be done with my masters. The contents of this course has forced my to rethink what my priorities are. This is because I, and many young graduates, used to think that a person who is at the beginning of his/her career should concentrate on getting into a leading company. Now, I am thinking that I person could be way more successful and small companies, startups, family owned companies or even those companies lacking the organizational structure.

Standalone or internal?

 My personal goal was always and still to be a self-employed businessman running his own a company. That said, I am revealing one my of problems, One of my biggest weaknesses is that I have no specific and/ or unique passion, even career wise, I have no specialties. I cannot imagine my self just concentrating on something and building a career around it. I am the best person who has applied: “Jack of all trades, master of none”. Could it be because I did not find what I really like up to know, or is it something else? I really wish I knew.

The good news is, I think I am getting closer to what I might like:

Because I have no real specific career passion, I can be good in management consulting firms, or generalist venture capitalist. So, my next career preference is to work for the least structured company in my country in which you can find huge bureaucracy pressure in almost companies, or one of the international management-consulting firms, which operates there. A third option is to work for the only venture capital firm that I know of in my country: http://www.amwalalkhaleej.com/aboutus.htm

The last option is the least probable, since, looking at their few employees’ profiles, they are very experienced and, in most cases have worked for highly ranked consulting firms for years.

Sorry for talking advantage of such assignment to reflect so personally!
