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...

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.

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.

From the little I know, yes, even though the work might not tie directly to your degree. If, for instance, you work at a pub for some hours a week consistently for a year or two, or more, it shows an employment history, the ability to hold a job, and so forth. \nI have a mate who put himself though two college degrees that way, and thinking of another graduate degree before he is done. Sainsbury's the job as of last word. \nI put myself through years of education in the part time work and school thing. It is nice to have some sort of history other than academics. Good grades mean nothing to an employer if the applicant is unable to work with others, etc.

The top schools want three to five years of work experience on average.  Schools not at the top are not worth going to.\n\nWhen I got my MBA at Duke nine years ago, the average work experience was about four years.  There were several people with only one or two years experience and about two or three with no experience (out of 350).  So, it is possible to get in without work experience -- but not likely.  I noticed that each person who got in with little or no work experience had something else about them that made them stand out.

In order to be accepted into a Graduate program you must have an undergraduate degree. It is possible at some schools to take SOME grad classes while still an undergraduate, and there are also some schools which offer a BS/MS programs.\n\nIntelKnight is right though, to get the most out of an MBA program it's best to have some work experience that you can apply to your studies and vice versa, be able to apply your studies to your job.

yup u can. all MBA colleges want graduation in any field. MD is a graduate degree. u need to pass the CAT or GMAT to get into a premier institute. CHEERS

It really depends on what you expect to do with that mba.  You can't simply expect to get the degree and get an improved salary, you have to find a niche, or a way to apply what you learned in the mba program to your profession.  I would seriously consider what you want to accomplish in your career, THEN choose a program.  Not the other way around.

yes, mba is good but the place you are donig mba is more important. yes take the job now, don't think too much, do the job first.

Corrections:\n1. Bacholar degree is wrong. It is bachelor's degree.\n2. MBA stands for Master of Business Administration; therefore, it is wrong to say, "master MBA."\n\nI think you should think twice about following a business career. I have heard from my well-educated acquaintances that many MBA graduates from prestigious schools cannot find a job very easily because of the high competition. I'm not saying it's easy to find a job with a mere bachelor's degree in biochemistry, but at least scientists are known to be bad spellers. With your unsatisfactory spelling, you will be laughed at in the business world.

Probably not. Internship are usually reserved for students or recent graduates in order to GAIN work experience. It sounds like you already have it. You will just have to keep applying for jobs and hope for the best.

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!

Usually to enhance previous education that may have been in a different field. The MBA gives a general, pressurised view of the business world and it's practices. Many successful people have MBA's but many very successful people eg Bill Gates do not, so having one doesn't in itself constitute a recipe for success.

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.

there are so many jobs you can apply for with an mba degree , so many jobs are out there, start searching the jobsites, CEO has nothing to do with MBA, just bcoz u have an MBA doesnt mean u will land up in a CEO job, u must work all the way up to that level if u want to be a CEO, and more over its not a must that CEO have an MBA degree, all that matters is how smart you are.\nMBA degree will guarantee you some kind of a job with a minimum guarantee salary, above that as i mentioned its all abt how smart you are.....which will decide whether u will be a CEO or not\nsoo... good luck
