...Why a Master in Business Administration Luis D. Perez Morales MGT/521 MANAGEMENT April-Tuesday, 2011 Dra. Carmen Bonilla-Quianes Why a Master in Business Administration? After almost 11 years of my life working as an IT Support Specialist. I recognized that in some way I was in a better location inside the company, and earning more money than some colleagues that have the same position that I got because I did bring a Bachelors degree for the interview. Don’t get me wrong it didn’t make me better than them at all, but it helps me to get the job and negotiate the salary. It couldn’t happen without the Bachelors Degree. Now I see myself in a career that didn’t fill up my expectations as a professional nor in monetary too. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very thankful for all I’ve been able to do with my actual job. But part of me wants a change right away. After a couple of months of serious research, I find out that most of the people that works in some way supervising personnel and/or founds for a company, got jobs that are in more demand, with better salaries than the one that I got in this moment. Also most of them end up with their own companies, if they what to. Remember, they already know how to run a business; the difference is the type of business. What was the difference between me and them? They were supervisors, managers, and or administrators. I can say a big part of company owners accepts, even likes the idea of having someone else running their company while...

...Construct and Support Argument MGT/521: Management August 08 2010 Pursuing a masters in business administration was one of my many dreams and the best decisions I could every make. I knew that choosing to pursue a masters in business administration would begin many new career opportunities. In July 2006, I had the opportunity to obtain my undergraduate degree from the International Academy of Design and Technology Tampa in Recording Arts (Audio Engineering) at the age of 31. At times, the decision felt a little tough because I work time and run my own recording studio. At my old collage, several of my instructors actually made an impact in my life; they advised me to pursue the MBA after six months to a year of rest, in order to get some of my affairs in order. By pursuing an MBA degree, I can also go back and teach at the Academy, it also helps me to achieve goals in my personal life, such as becoming a better businessperson. Some of my former instructors perceive me to be a complex person with a big vision and a low tolerance for stupidity. I thought long about my decision and the time it would take to finish the MBA program and the time I had to give up to accomplish my goals. I did not want to waste any more time and have my dreams ruined, I determined that it made more sense not to wait six months to a year, I only took three months off to give my brain a rest than I decided to pursue my MBA right away after earning my undergraduate degree at the Academy. My decision...

...an MBA contribute to accomplishing these objectives?” I used to think that my income would never really matter. Then, I finished my undergraduate degree and entered the so called real world. As a golf professional fresh out of college, my opportunities for making sufficient money were limited. I took a job in Portland, Oregon as a full time golf instructor for the largest golf instruction company in the world, GolfTEC. I loved helping people and am grateful for the sales experience that I gained in the competitive environment at GolfTEC. However, I decided in September of 2013 that I would be changing career paths. I will always have a passion for golf, but I know the golf business is not where I want to be in ten years. The employment outlook in the golf industry is not great, and I want more out of a career than teaching golf. I would like to become a certified financial planner. The ultimate goal for me is to run a small investment firm where I can utilize my particular skill set. During my time at GolfTEC, I was top 9% nationwide in new client acquisition. I believe my ability to create rapport with potential clients and drive referrals through excellent client management will help me succeed in the financial world. Why do I want to pursue a career in finance? Einstein once said, “The most powerful force in the Universe is compound interest.” Since my sixth grade teacher explained the concept, I have been fascinated by finance. That fascination, combined...

...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...

...Pursuing a Masters of Business Administration The decision to pursue my Masters of Business Administration (MBA) degree started out as a requirement to be successful in my field of study. It quickly evolved into a desire to achieve a personal goal. Whereas in undergraduate school, the emphasis was on completing a MBA or sitting for the CPA exam. As an Accounting major, there did not appear to be too many options after graduation. As I was preparing for graduation, my brother was admonishing me to continue to Graduate School. At the time I viewed him as a father figure to me. Ordinarily, I listened to everything he had advised me to do. Unfortunately, this time I did not. I was not focus on continuing my education and had no desire at that time to pursue a secondary degree. My thought process quickly changed as I entered the workforce. Goals do not need to be assigned, as people also set goals on their own. Self-set goals, however, are often influence by others, for example, when goals are conjointly set (e.g. in participative decision-making and employee involvement; Wilpert, 1994), or when goals are adopted from highly respected models (e.g. adopting standards for self-reward; Mischel & Liebert, 1966). Cantor & Fleeson (1994) point out that social context cues, such as normative expectations of the social community, also influence goal selection. I am a very determined and goal-oriented individual. Like most people, I have written and re-written my five and 10 year-plan...

...Why 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.

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).

...Areas of Business In this paper I would like to consider one more time during this course the purpose of me going back to graduate school. In 1998 I graduated from Saint-Petersburg State Institute of Technology where obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering and Technology. After completion of study I started my career working at one of the biggest oil fields in the world operated by Chevron Company. During my first years of work I had a chance to be involved not only in specific tasks but in managerial activities also. At that time I started to feel that, being a specialist in my area of background I received, does not give me a feeling that this is my way I want to go forward during my entire life. Thanks God, soon, I got promoted to Facilities Engineering Department to Project Engineer position. Since that moment my project management career started. During obtaining work experience by moving from project engineering positions in small projects to more managerial positions in bigger projects, I decided to obtain specific knowledge related to professional project management area. Since 2005 I entered to Project Management Institute Association and managed to obtain Project Management Professional certificate in 2012. PMP was quite challengeable for me and the real thing I proud of. This successful pass though was also like a definition of a new horizon to go forward obtaining Master of Business Administration degree. Why I decided to go to Business Administration? Actually...
