How Can I Explain My Shift from Computers to an MBA in Finance and HR During Interviews?

Hello people, I am Kaarthik. I have a question that I doubt would be asked at the time of an interview. My UG was B.C.A., and I was in search of a job for a year. It was the time when the recession struck, and I didn't find a suitable job. So, I decided to go for higher studies. Now, I am pursuing an MBA, and my specializations are Finance and HR.

Switching from Computers to Business Administration

If I am asked why I switched from computers to business administration and why I chose HR, what answer should I give back, and how can I justify that the path I have chosen is correct?

Dear Kartik, you can answer this question: I have done BCA to gain knowledge about computers, and in HR, we can utilize these computerized skills to set up mail IDs. If someone is facing problems related to computers, you can always help your colleagues. There is no need to call the IT person for every small issue, and knowledge never goes to waste; it always boosts your confidence. It is an additional advantage for your profile.

I second Mr. Simhan in encouraging you to ponder your very own and original reason for the same, as the truth can help you frame the answer easily.
