It is always better to work and then go for MBA because you grasp the subject much better....MBA college also want people with more experienced people who have seen the world and bring in their work place ideas rather than POETS.- as snapshots from hell would say it. So work first for 2 years and then go for it...

If you're planning on getting your MBA, you'll probably have to have some work experience first before you are admitted to the best schools in the U.S.  You should check out the Wall Street Journal, they do a yearly survey of the best MBA schools.  More recently it's been the business school at Dartmouth, but as said before you'll need a top GPA and excellent work experience.

I think you should do an MBA. An MBA  is a global degree and a solid qualification which would give you a headstart in your career. working.  Though an MBA looks expensive and would take up a lot of your time, I would say you should invest in it to avail of the benefits tht this degree holds for your future. A degree in Economics too would be good but I dont know how far it would be valued in the job market.

First of all, studying anything is good. Getting your MBA is great, but, A LOT of people have an MBA. and A LOT of people are currently gettting their MBA. You might find it hard to find a job once you graduate because so many other people will have the same degree as you. Maybe get a little more specific with your major. If you want to open your own business, find a school that has an entrepreneurship major, etc.

I recommend getting a job.  Then when you do your Masters in Business Administration,  a) the company might pay for it, and b) you'll have the advantadge of having experience.\n\nI've got one MBA class under my wing, and have had my "real job" six months now.\n\nAnother friend of mine had her "real job" a few years and is finishing her MBA this semester and she and I have talked about it, and agreed that its better to be in the work force at least a year before trying graduate school.

I think your credentials in addition to your work history/work ethic should get you a VERY good new job.  I wish I had an advanced degree, but couldn't afford grad school.  Someday... Anyway, don't be worried about your MBA being from a smaller school.  If there is any question, stress the accreditation.  Good luck.

Some reasons for MBA are:\n1) Stage of your career\nIf you are early or in the middle of your career, getting MBA has more value.  MBA is an investment and can be expensive.  It probably makes less sense to pursue your MBA if you are a year from retiring.\n2) Career goals\nIf you want to accelerate your career, change industries, and/or change functions, MBA would be a good vehicle.\n3) Intellectual curiousity\nIf you want to learn more about business, getting an MBA would help you learn about it.\n\nGood luck and have a nice day!

Short answer is yes.  I have a BS and am going into an MBA program in the fall.  You must demonstrate your business aptitude through your resume, reccomendation letters, and personal essay.  Remember that B Schools look at how good of a business person you will make, so if you can demonstrate that, you will have a chance anywhere.  Focus on why you are a good candidate and what you intend to do with your degree.

As you phrased the question- the answer is yes on a couple fronts.  The first, MBA programs tend to introduce people to some financial concepts that help them manage their personal finances better, at the very least by forcing them through a finance course.  Some programs offer securities analysis and portfolio management courses.  The simple exposure to this gets people thinking more about taking care of retirement and savings while helping them avoid some of the thoughtless things we often do with money.\n  The primary reason folks get an MBA is to increase their income.  I found it was much like a club membership where others with an MBA's became more chummy with me once discovering I too had the paper. MBA in a number of firms act as a proxy for intelligence/motivation in addition to other tangible accomplioshments. Whether you buy into the idea that people with MBA's are smarter or hard worker's or not, this is what they are used to represent. \n  I believe Business Week has done salary comparisons for undergrad, grad and PhD's where they break down the extra income for MBA's over simple grad degrees.  As I recall, it was something like 20%+.  My MBA helped me, but was really helpful once I left the firm that I worked at while I went to school.  This is consistent with what some other MBA graduates find, where your pre MBA employer still tends to treat you as they always have.\n\nBottom line, MBA's offer applicants and people who want to work themselves upwards the distinctive edge that college degrees used to offer 30 years ago, before the universities and colleges watered the undergraduate degrees down to allow everyone to get through their programs.  \n\nSo, they find jobs easier, make more money when they do find the job, and are more likely to save and invest that money more productively. \nTherefore, are more likeley to retire comfortably or early, should they choose so....\n\nGood luck to you if you're thinking about getting an MBA.

MBA generally is i finishing degree ie a  polishing one  in many countries. People in Us and other countries do Mba to improve in the business skills they already have so that they may seek a raise or qualify for some new post  that is the reason the universities that give you degrees wish you have a work experience with your application (colleges do not offer degree)because they do not offer any kind of co-Op or work experience with the course study as generally it happens in india that an MBA gets a summer traning with a company.There fore it is really hard to get a job with out any work experience after you have the degree unless you do it from some institute that gives you placement gurantee....THINK AGAIN before you choose MBA rather go for a professional study in you sector... Now even the IIM and ISB takes people with work experience on preference....TOEFL or IELTS is important for people who dont have english as first language

Most people pursue this degree after 3-7 years of work experience for career advancement or industry/functional-move. MBA Graduates often go to consulting firms, finance (investment banking, corporate, etc.), or general management. Usually MBA graduates are on "fast track" programs to move up corporate ladders quickly.  Through networking in MBA programs, you're also part of a career-advancing social circle.  This momentum would very likely carry you forward as well!  Good luck!

I work at Curtin University Graduate School of Business and we run an accredited MBA program, online and face to face classes.  International students would have to apply through the International Office at Curtin Business School.  The Graduate School of Business requires at least 3 years work experience and an undergraduate degree.  Check out our website at www.gsb.curtin.edu.au\nGood luck in your future.

Wow, I wish I was in your shoes because if you are willing to move (including out of the country), you will find a nice job once you have the MBA.\n\nFor lots of Money/Stress:  finance or e-business\nFor lots of contact with people: marketing/sales\n\nIt really depends on where you interests are at.\n\nMike Honeycutt

If you have got some work experience, why dont you do MBA through correspondence? Once you got work expeirence already, no one bothers if you did MBA regular or correspondence. I am graduate in Science and did MBA from IGNOU while i was working. Though it is tough as they have entrance exam and there is 30% weightage of assignments and there is a project as well. But IGNOU has got a good reputation. IT has hundreds of centre in India and in 24 other countries! ALl IGNOU degrees are UGC recognised. THat is what another MBA degree will be. So y put your career on halt/stake and do it regular? I dont think it is wise to leave the job and start studying something that u can do with job. It will have a bad impact on CV as the employers will think before hiring you because ur CV will say this guy can leave job for studies or something.So you will have problems finding job after this break.

Most of the better MBA programs prefer you to have a few years' work experience before starting the program.  Two or three years ought to be enough.  With an accounting degree today, that shouldn't be a problem, because the job market for accountants is better than ever today.  I'd recommend taking a job for a few years and then go back for the MBA later.

Ok apply...so what...Well should I say say congrats....Ok congrats...\n\n:) Jokes apart...You must be working? If so then symbio. degree will be helpful in your promotion...Just if in case the promotion is decided by a MBA degree.\n\nIf you are not working then don't go for correspondence.\n\nIf you don't want to do it full time and you want to do MBA in correspondence then it will be difficult.\n\nSo it's up to you to take the decision's.

It depends on what you want to do with your MBA career.  Finance is a good choice for almost all cases because good business people know how to work with money very well.  Furthermore, People who want to do investment banking, private equity, venture capital, investment management, corporate finance, structured finance, etc. would all want to specialize in finance.\n\nFor people who want to get into consulting, strategy and operations is a good choice as well.\n\nPeople interested in general management may also find "soft" specializations like leadership, organizational behavior, etc.
