...{text:bookmark-start} Getting a MBA to Change Careers {text:bookmark-end} I should change careers. That is a thought that has haunted me for years. I have known for at least nine years that being a pharmacist was not for me. How to change careers and what new career did I want were questions I had a hard time answering. After searching for answers on the internet and speaking with academic counselors from several colleges, I realized getting a MBA was a possibility. I did not know having a bachelor degree was all one needed to start the MBA program. I was under the impression that thebachelor degree needed to be in an area of business. Hopeful and excited, I decided I needed to get my MBA. Facing my parents with the idea of going back to school and changing careers was not going to be easy. I could hear their objections: you make good money, the MBA will be expensive, you do not have the time, pharmacists are in demand, you won’t ever have trouble finding a job, and finallythat is just not something you do. You have a career, stick with it. Changing careers is not that unheard of these days, as opposed to when my parents were choosing their careers. According to Holmes and Cartwright, in the 1970s and 1980s, more people started changing careers. This change was due to “the rapid rate of social, economic, and technological changes that encouraged the development of successive or multiple careers” (Holmes, 1993). The Vocational Guidance Association states that “between 1985-1988...

...Pursuing an online MBA program over an on-site program Shirley Ann Gates Bus 620: Managerial Marketing (MAC1042A) Professor Nancy Waldron November 16, 2010 Executive Summary of Marketing Plan In today’s world, being able to obtain an adequate amount of education will increase the chances of better opportunities in the job market. Students entering MBA programs are now given a choice to obtain their education online opposed to onsite. Both MBA online and onsite programs share a common goal, and that is to assist students in obtaining their degrees.

The flexibility in structures is countered by potential problems including lack of personal interaction (Fan & Lewis, 2001), the elimination of a sense of community (James & Voight, 2001), and the perception of lower quality (Terry, 2001). On sites courses have some advantages whereas, it allows students to interact with their peers, attend lectures, and physically work in groups. There are...

...Why I Chose to Pursue an MBA Abstract This paper will outline the reasons I chose to pursue an MBA. I will construct and support an argument for my pursuit of an MBA. I will support my decision of pursing an MBA with references and data of individuals who have written articles regarding the pursuit of an MBA for African Americans. This paper will include my Jungian results from the 16-Type Personality Insights questionnaire to see if I have the qualifications of a manager. Why I Chose to Pursue an MBA I decided to pursue an MBA to start a new career and to achieve a personal goal. I have a best friend who persuaded me to further my education. She would tell me, “Seles, this world is going to require that individuals who seek employment have a Master’s degree.” I began to think how my goal would be achieved and what university I attend. Wondering and worrying about the cost of this type of education caused me to have many sleepless nights and much stress. My concern was finding the time between allocating times with my six year-old son, working part-time as a volunteer and taking care/assisting my parents who are 70. Also my biggest issue I had was who would hire a recent graduate who is almost 50, African-American single parent of a six year-old son and who have never worked in the corporate world. So I prayed and asked GOD to authorize my pursuit of a Master’s degree. I talked with my advisor Lance Thorsen and he eased my mind and encouraged me to...

...Should I Get an MBA? Jane Doe University of Phoenix: MGT/521 October 11, 2012 Joseph Mason The definition of MBA according to Wikipedia (2012) is the following: Master of Business Administration (MBA or M.B.A.) is a master's degree in business administration, which attracts people from a wide range of academic disciplines. The MBA designation originated in the United States, emerging from the late 19th century as the country industrialized and companies sought out scientific approaches to management. The core courses in the MBA program are designed to introduce students to the various areas of business such as accounting, finance, marketing, human resources, operations management, etc. Students in MBA programs have the option of taking general business courses throughout the program or can select an area of concentration and focus approximately one-fourth of their studies in this subject (“Wikipedia”, 2012). Accreditation bodies exist specifically for MBA programs to ensure consistency and quality of graduate business education. Business schools in many countries offer MBA programs tailored to full-time, part-time, executive, and distance learning students, with specialized concentrations (“Wikipedia”, 2012). I asked myself a series of questions of “Why should I get an MBA”? I took a systemic approach by addressing all the pro’s and cons of having an MBA. First, the pros of an MBA give you credibility...

...Keeping jokes apart, this is for all MBA-Freshers who are expecting big bucks after completing their MBA. “Dreaming Big” is not an issue but achieving that dream always starts with small steps. It is said that “Rome was not built in a day” similarly you can’t demand higher salaries because you are a MBA. What if you are a MBA? Are you having anything else to boast, about which the corporate world would appreciate. If yes, then go out and shout “I am having this X thing which could meet Y Company’s expectations and for the same reason, I should get salary of ` Z”. The point is to think big but build small, something you can be proud of. If you don’t have the things to boast about try for Plan B. Make your career plan in such a way that you start with small company with small salary learn lots many things over there of-course at the Company’s cost, look out for options and in next couple of years take a big leap. Being a Placement Officer with KSMCS, I hear lot many times that students are saying; that I am having 2 years of work-experience and my last salary was ` 20K. So they must get at least that amount during placement process. My question to them is that if they are having experience of selling pharmaceutical products and they are applying in a Financial Company, how much relevance of their experience is to the latter company. As you are pursuing your MBA, you must be aware that MCA is always a Three Year Program, can’t you take your MBA also for Three Years, in which Two...
