$8000 US is pocket change & the raise he's promising you isn't certain, you said yourself it's only about 50% that you'll get the raise. Go get your MBA. I've got a job making $27,500 & have no college degree. Stick with school.

I do not think you should make a decision based on stereotypes of a student population. Though many students may be rich snobs, that doesn't mean you have to be, or that you must hang out with that kind of crowd.\n\nHowever, your concerns about work level and grade competitiveness are valid. It seems like if there is a lot of work, you probably learn a lot more than less rigorous institutions. If you're sure you want to learn business, then work is what you want. And I'm sure you'll still have fun no matter the work level. But at the end of your education, both degrees are probably similar in value, if not practically equal. Though everybody hears about coming out of Wharton with a six-digit salary, that's a result of a great reputation.\n\nI would apply to both schools, but not early decision anywhere. (It's probably too late to apply anywhere early anymore.) Don't worry about not getting in; keep your options open. It seems to me that you prefer Babson at heart. Just because another school's reputation is great shouldn't affect your individual college decision.

The best thing you have to do first is, first choose(by choose I mean, universities that are affordable to your budget) several universities and then see what are the requirements they are asking(normally those are TOEFL {Test Of English as a Foreign Language}SAT{Scholastic Assessment Test} scores. So do the test and get the score they wanted. Then prepare your financial statements as they wanted. And other things if there are. Once you've selected by the Uni, they will giude you with the procedures.\nAnother thing you can do is, find a local university in (your country) that has affliations with a US Uni. Those Uni's have transfer program i.e you can do like 2 years there and do the rest in US. (If you could find a local UNI, that's the most cost effective.)Or a Local UNI that gives American degrees. Then you can apply to a US UNI wih your local UNI's transcript and you can transfer your credits.\nGood luck with everything

An MBA is very expensive upfront, but generally pays for itself in no time through the higher salary earned. If a management career is what you wish to pursue, then I'm sure the MBA will be very valuable. I would recommend going for it if you can. You should be willing to go into debt now if necessary, as I'm sure you will be able to pay it back. It will be much harder to save up money to do MBA later, as it is hard to return to study after working & earning money for while, quite apart from the difficulty of getting back into study habits. \n\nI gather from your question that you would be moving to the UK for the course. Having the opportunity of studying abroad is fantastic. You will meet so many people from different cultures & I'm sure it will be enriching. The UK has an excellent reputation with its universities.

well the main question I had was if they gave me sponsorship what would i owe them?  In return my company wanted me to stay for 5 years and they would give me 5,000 a year.   I thought i could get paid better with the mba in a different company so i took out loans and that 5-10 k they were going to give me for school.  I am now making 10k more then they would have offered me with my mba so it wasnt worth it for me.  \n\nDescribe how your mba will help the company and you grow together.  If you have a lagit reason ask, but be careful of the details attached

The smart move would be for you take up the job and still continue school as a part time student.  From life experience thou, I have learned that education is more important than even getting a job.  So I would suggest you go back and finish school coz this will present an opportunity for you to get even a greater paying job.  Beside imagine this, were the insurance company to downsize, who would go first?

Hi,\n\nI have an MBA from Stern.  Your MBA is really what you make of it.  I would personally lean towards Fordham.  My feeling is that its a few notches above Baruch (not that Baruch is bad).  \n\nWork prospects, it really depends.  Getting into an investment banking or asset management type position right off the bat will be tough, because the banks are all packed with ivy league and other top MBA grads.  Each school has its own "recruiting team" within the banks.  So, for example, the Stern grads will go to Stern to recruit current students.  That said, I would have to think Fordham probably has a good Career Services office as well as a good alumni office.  Before you settle on a school, I would go to visit them and really find out and ask questions about their career services and alumni connections.  Basically, if you can network with some alumni that are in the right places and convince one to take a chance on you, there's a good chance you can get into a bank for a summer internship, which will really be your gateway into a full time position.\n\nOk, sorry if my answer has a little of everything.  If you want, email me and I can give you more info.\n\nGood luck.

I know a few people who have completed theor MBA from top business schools and they all have fantastic jobs now. I don't think it is guaranteed but it definitely puts you a cut above the rest

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.

U.S. News and World Report has the top 50 listed below.  Beyond that, there are still quite a few quality programs.  I got my MBA at the University of South Florida, which was a surprisingly good program.  I'd say, if you can get in to one of the top 15 programs, you've got a big edge over everyone else.  Otherwise, there's not an enormous difference in quality, at least in the eyes of the average employer.  Best of luck to you.

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
