Why on earth people do MBA?

As a networking tool, as a way to make more money, as a way to take a break from industry for a couple of years.  Probably more reasons, but those are the main ones that I can think of.

An MBA teaches you all aspects of running a business. If you are a doctor, you are already pretty good in your field of health; but it is not expected that you would ace finance or marketing, strategy, etc. these are key elements of running a business and that's where an MBA plays a key role. It educates you with the essentials and you develop good connections with business coaches that can help you.

It depends. I think the strength and value of your MBA will depend on your grades. If you're not a very quantitative person, your grades in finance will probably suffer. Most people who do finance MBAs aspire to work in investment banking, sales & trading or even venture capital. These industries are extremely competitive and offer very good salaries. Chances are that if you've got a lousy MBA from a lousy school, you're not going to get into any of the top firms and will probably end up being a lowly analyst for a long time in some small run down place. If you're dynamic, smart and love to talk best you go for Marketing. If you excel in that field, marketing executives and marketing managers do lead very good lives - travel, stay in top hotels and network with the top brains. Choose wisely. Good luck!

yes, several folks i know have done fine. one is a project manager another is a facilities manager. you will have to work harder and smarter than others but that's how i have done well without the mba that most people in my profession have. \n\non the other hand, i recommend you pick it up at some point since i really does open a lot of doors that otherwise would be closed.

MCA is not as famous as an MBA in IT. Put it this way: Though MCA is very focused on what you really wanted to do, it does not fulfill your requirement to learn the management of IT. In the case of an MBA, it would give you a holistic approach to your business, while still having advanced knowledge in the world of IT. Employers recognize an MBA instantly. And having a major in IT would give in more creditbility and shows your passion in a particular function. For an MCA, you can only be able to specialize in this, but you will have less fallback than an MBA in IT.

Why you want to do MBA?\nWhy there is financial problem?\nWhy you want a good college?\nThink, with your available resources what you can do the best. All jobs are important if well done.

Well....Because employers prefer graduates of Ivy leage schools. They require higher grades to get in, cost more money to attend and seem to have teachers who know something about the subject they're teaching.\n\nhttp://www.daylon.com/mba

It helps. But in some areas like business, employers would employ some one with a bachelor's degree straight from college at an entry level. To do an MBA well you need to have some business experience to leverage on.

Neither... MBA. You have enough computer skills. They are common now. It's the business acumen that will now set you apart.

MBA is a masters degree in business administration. Most people pursue this degree after 3-7 years of work experience for career advancement or industry/functional-move. Usually both paths would lead to a significant pay increase.  You will also introduce yourself to a business social circle, which tends to help you with your career as well.

Age may be an important determinant in this answer. But it is not the only answer. If you are younger and wanna ve an Exec MBA but you dont wanna "change" urself from your present self in your career, then it is useless.\n\nOn the other hand, if you are even 65 and you are flexible enough to let new ideas come to your mind from Exec MBA then it is something you must do.\n\nThe major factor is your own determination and will to make use of it.\n\nBEST OF LUCK in any decision you make

No, it means nothing.  MBA from Universities also means nothing.  It is common sense that they wanted...also street smart.  Know how to make decision under pressure.  MBA only certify that you know the stuff but can you utilize it in the right situation..that takes common sense and experience.

Well, I have an MBA, plus a degree in info systems. I have worked as a financial analyst in telecommunications, supporting the marketers. Have also worked as a statistical/financial analyst for a bank, supporting credit card marketers.\n\nDoes the degree open up opportunities? Yes, but it really depends on what you want to do. The degree does the most for technical types who do not understand the big picture of business, because it teaches you about finance, marketing, accounting, and human resources. The more insightfull students develop an understanding of the big picture, and how these various functions (or departments) relate to each other.\n\nSo, if you want to become more of a financial/marketing analyst type of person, or want to go into management, then yes, and MBA could be a good compliment to your existing skills. Also, if you want to go into biz for yourself.\n\nBUT, if you are happy in a technical role, and/or do not have an outgoing 'people' personality, then an MBA could be a waste of time. And remember, in biz management, personality is a LOT more important than brains and education. Although brains & education certainly help, without the right personality you will not climb management ranks. Instead of plunging into an MBA prog, just take a intro finance and an intro marketing course at your local university. These courses will teach you 90% of what you need to know about biz.\n\nOne final point: the school you go to does not matter much. This is a dirty little secret that the "best" (that is, MOST EXPENSIVE) schools do not want you to know. Once you have been out for one year, nobody gives a damn what school you went to. Save your money, and go to the university that you want to.  Believe me, it really does not matter. \n\nSource(s):\n\nMe, years of biz experience as an MBA.
