Enhancing My Career Recently, I was offered a job and have since accepted the position as an electronic quality assurance representative to monitor the Department of Defense contracts of private companies in the Reno/Sparks area. I chose this position because of the experience that I gained via the military. I chose this field because I want to do my part to ensure the Department of Defense continues to be provided with a quality product. I have 11 years experience performing analytical research and inspections of several types of avionics systems.

...Decision to Pursue MBA Degree Dorothy Hall MGT/521-Management August 5, 2010 Professor John Quesnel Decision to Pursue MBA Degree Deciding to pursue a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) degree is an important decision that should not be taken lightly. The master’s program is challenging and will take time from an individual’s personal life. An MBA can further a career, begin a new career, or fulfill a personal goal. In contemplating whether to obtain an MBA degree, I had to decide what value this degree would afford me. In obtaining this degree, it would further my education and could definitely be an asset to any future career choice that I may undertake when I retire from State Farm Insurance in a couple of years. In constructing and supporting this argument on whether to pursue an MBA, as a choice, I used the Jungian Personality Self-Assessment to foster insight into possible career paths and how other individuals perceive me. The self-assessment of the Jungian personality gives an individual through 16 personality types a better understanding of him or herself. The assessment measures thinking styles of individuals, modes of dealing with information and interactions for potential managers in group settings. My personality type was the INFP result that describes individuals reserved, creative, and highly idealistic with a possible career as an architect, journalist, educational consultant, missionary, actor, artist, and poet. I agreed with some...

...Pursing a Masters in Business Administration Management 521 February 20, 2010 Pursuing a Masters in Business Administration Pursuing a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degree to achieve a personal goal may seem ludicrous to some, but not to the individual who desires to have a solid foundation of knowledge on which to build on. An undergraduate who decides to return to school as a graduate student is investing in his or her future. According to Levy (n.d.), an MBA can open doors for an individual and expose students to the business world in terms of job functions and industry. This paper will present an argument pertaining to pursuing an MBA. Additionally, the “What’s my Jungian 16-Type Personality” assessment will take a look at benefits in pursuing this degree. As a goal oriented individual, the decision to pursue an MBA degree was the right choice. Aside from personal ambition and goals, the decision will enhance my career opportunities, development, and will be a valuable asset. The MBA will also open doors to my personal, professional and financial fulfillment. I have been successful in my current position as a clinical research associate (CRA), and although I have had many experiences, the MBA program will enable me to expand my professional horizons and will facilitate me to acquire a solid business understanding. The Argument People have asked me why I am pursuing an MBA degree since my undergraduate degree is in health administration, and I currently...

It is up to the student to decide the program and accept ownership of the decision. We may find the timing is off, but by following the guide of those around us, whether it is employers or family, we can achieve our ultimate goal. Adults are often overwhelmed with late entry into the university system, coupled with anxiety, stress, and fear many may choose to become introverted (An Introvert in College: Survive and Thrive, 2009) and shy away from the task, those around them, or even life itself. It is time to accept the decision, hold your breath and dive in. Why an MBA The Technical College System of Georgia curriculum programs are standardized based on business and industry requirements across the state and are described as results driven education (TSCG Curriculum). As the technical system evolves and grows the systems educators must also grow with the organization. Faculty educators must meet the guidelines set forth by the Commissions of Colleges or COC. Faculty credentials must meet the guidelines of the Comprehensive Standard 3.7.1 of the Principles of Accreditation (Faculty Credentials Guidelines, 2006). As Moultrie Technical College seeks to achieve SACSCOC accreditation, I must increase my educational knowledge to secure my employment, meet the needs of students, and goals of Moultrie Technical College.

...To pursue a master's in business administration Gary M. Newsome MGT/521 August 17, 2010 Stephanie Jackson To pursue a master's in business administration Many people set goals in life with a mindset of accomplishing these goals, and there is no more important goal than achieving a higher degree in education. It always has been my ultimate goal to achieve a master’s in business administration (MBA), but because of the time constraints and long deployments of military service, attending an institution of higher education for an MBA was out of the question. After 30 years of military service and beyond the age of 50, there is no better time to conquer my dreams and achieve my personal goal in obtaining my MBA. This accomplishment will open new a new path toward venturing into another outstanding career. The value of higher education is an important factor for advancement. The opportunity to excel would be the primary reason to achieve this goal while gaining the skills, and knowledge, of management. A position of increased responsibility requires much knowledge to be successful and a company, or business, may fail without these credentials. Mintzberg stated that “managers are important people who are supposed to sit above others, removed and disconnected from the work of making products and selling services. The higher they go, the more important they are, so that on reaching the top, becoming Chief Executive Officer; they are the corporation even if they arrived yesterday...

...Padma-Shri, for the not-so-appreciated skill of cooking? Well, if in case you did master your culinary skills like the famous chef and the culinary author Tarla Dalal, the dream may not seem far-fetched. Cooking in India is an art every home maker excels in, right from the age where she/he begins with the process of making the magical chai for the guests till the age where it becomes a roz ka kaam to cook the 3-meals-per day for the family. This scenario has prevailed in the Indian kitchens for ages. But from the past few years, cooking is beginning to be considered as a serious job! Let us find out why. The *Masaale Daar* Beginning Unlike any other field, it is not hard to find if you actually have an interest in cooking or not. The moment the neighborhood Aunty asks for an extra bowl of Dal (which you cooked last night and made an effort to offer it to her), it is but obvious, ki beta kuchh to baat hai..! Try and explore as much as you can and keep inventing things for yourself. If people around you genuinely appreciate the food you make, if you find pleasure in what you are dishing out, you definitely have a case. So don’t wait – try and turn this interest into a profession! If all else fails, try auditioning for Master Chef and hear it from the Maestros themselves! ;) S.C.O.P.E One begins as a subordinate in the beginning and gradually rises to become a Chef. The Chef is the master of the kitchen who has absolute control over the junior staff and oversees the entire...

I have been living in a family where all the integrant are doctors, but I was always thinking about what if we make a business together like a hospital where all my family could be part of the project? Suddenly came to my mind, who will be the one taking care of the finances and business? That moment I thought about what I really like was traveling, doing business with other cultures, speaking other languages and the perfect career for me was studying international. In those 5 years of career I experienced a lot of passion travelling, going to study tours around Europe, studying in different cities and doing my internship in the united state. After all my effort during my bachelor, I went to China to start business with my family, actually I learned a lot, but I realize that something was missing. I did not want to just be a business administrator I wanted more, I wanted to have my master so I could have more knowledge in how to succeed a company, that’s why I decided to do this master in business administration, focusing on management. A high-level business management has always been my professional objective, and the key to any success in any business.

... An MBA is the Master of Business Administration degree granted by colleges and universities. Receiving an MBA is a good way to get ahead in your career.
