I have 2 years of working experience after my graduation in NTU (Singapore). My mum is bugging me to get a MBA. Should I take it now or wait another few years? My career has not taken flight yet.

There are many fields in MBA eg marketing, finance, human resource etc... it is recomended that you should persue the course of your interest. If you are working then a job experience of around 3 yrs is said to be good before taking up the course... I personally will do the same... The job experience will guide you for your future requirement and help you to choose the right branch for specialization.

There is no such thing as best time for a MBA course. In fact it is your own mentality that make you feel that you should go for the course and not others ask you to go for the course then you go and study the course.
If your own mentality is not prepared to take this course, there is no pint for you to try now or later coz at the end of the day you will find it very tirng and stressful.
If your mentality is well prepared for the course, then I don't see why you don't take it now and wait until a later stage. It all depends on yourself and nobody else.

After earning your bachelor's degree, it's best to work for a year or two. This will provide you with a better understanding of yourself and your goals. Also what you will have learned while working can provide you with many valuable insights in the course work you'll take for your MBA. Good luck!

You have to ask yourself if an MBA is actually going to be useful to you. Its pointless taking on an MBA if you're not going to be going into a specialised field with regards to business. It would actually hinder you should you decide to take on another job as they might think you're overqualified.
I would suggest that you attend and talk/discuss with advisors from the various universities first.
Who is going to pay for your MBA? Does your current job allow you to take time off to study? What do you hope to do after you have your MBA? Are you cut out for MBA studies?
These are important questions to ask yourself. With all due respect to your mom, she's NOT the one studying. She shouldn't be pushing you.
