[JustSmile=)]

Im a EE graduate with 2 licenses (REE and RME) working in an IT company.. Do I need a Masteral? I don't think so.. hehe..

This is apparently true. I finished my MBA in Ateneo, ahead of my sister who was studying hers in DLSU. I would get to see the curriculum and syllabi they used. This way back in the late 80's and the DLSU MBA curriculum was real heavy on the quantitative, which to me, then it looked like more of a masteral program for engineering management than business management.

 

I wouldn't know if the same can be said today.

 

talga? kung ganun mas practical pala sa ateneo. iv been thinking talaga kung san mag eenrol eh. Ok sana sa AIM, kung anak ka ni chavit. hehehe. My options so far UP, DLSU, Ateneo, or beda (may nagsabi ok din daw dun). sa ngaun nag sixsigma yellow belt muna ako. pero iba talag pag may masters.

 

 

4 years na ako nagbabalak :cry: hanggang ngayon balak pa din lang

 

 

nako same hir boss. badtrip nga may exam pa pala. nag practice ako ng GMAT reviewer, potek limot ko na algebra ko! hehehe

[Itto Ogami]

focusing on wireless technologies.

I'm presently taking my MBA at the moment, And I would highly recommend this to anyone, whether you seek to get ahead of your colleagues when it comes to promotions (let's face it, pantay-pantay kayo sa trabaho, until somebody gets an MBA degree), or if you want to start your own business. I earned a degree in Industrial Design for my under grad, and the things I learn in my graduate studies are still applicable.

[friedkamote]

Already took my Master's degree (since one is needed to get a promotion in my line of work). Not sure if i want to pursue a PhD though.

[miyong76]

sana makaipon ng extra pra maka mba. AIM would be a good choice too.

As an engineer, I think it would really help me a lot to take on a masters degree which is not too technical. It would certainly broaden my perspective of how a Business operates. Wouldn't want to get stuck doing the same thing all my life....that's usually the bottomline for people who are too technical. btw, planning on getting applied economics at DLSU.

[masurao]

Tried enrolling in UP Diliman for MSCS. Rejected twice.

 

I'll probably try again when my finances are better. Maybe also try somewhere else, or try another course.

I've dealt with plenty of MBA grads in my work, DLSU/ADMU pa. One thing I observed lacking in them is lateral thinking. As one of the above posts said, one needs "the art of the hustle" when doing business. No business school will teach you that. In layman's terms, common sense + diskarte is all that's needed. If I were to choose again, I'd rather have chosen Industrial Design or some other Math or engineering course for my undergrad. This is coming from a DLSU business grad.

Sinusubukan ko nang layasan ito!

[Julianda]

Well, the possibility of finishing up my MBA degree is still there. I've actually finished its academic requirements and able to pass the comprehensive exam. Just the thesis alone that hinders me to become a full-pledged one. I took it btw 10 yrs ago...

[Duckie4120]

Got my Master's degree from the Ateneo Graduate School of Business and yes, some observations I've read appear to be correct. LaSalle would be the better school in terms of finance. In fact one of their courses approximates level 1 of the CFA exam. No regrets taking it in Ateneo. Money well spent. Not so sure about moving on to a Phd just yet. Maybe soon though.

[ramielsix]

Yes, Master in Public Administration/ Public Policy. I think it's really needed for my course. In UP kasi medyo may pagka-generalist ang labas ng undergrad, e I want to focus on policy studies. Planning on taking it abroad though para walang intellectual incest. haha.

[marcolim]

I took MBA in Ateneo. For me, it gave a lot of idea of application to my work.

Study in MBA course doesn't effect to increase my salary directly.

But it help me to be promoted upper level faster.

Of course I got higher salary after promotion.

MBA = Mostly Bachelor/ette Asses

 

Yes, I've heard of people going in for MBA to network (not in the business sense)

MBA is a good investment should you intend to propel your career. Take it from me. Completed my MBA at ATeneo Rockwel. Soon after graduation, i was hired as an AVP from a managerial position and is now considering a VP position from a real estate company through my headhunter. MBA helps...BIGTIME!

I think an MBA program hones up your essential business skills (core programs) but enhancements or supplements to your essential business skills (application skills)are not well emphasized in the curriculum.

 

Creative & entrepreneurial thinking, thinking out of the box as stand alone courses not usually part of core programs of MBA. Concepts of these application skills are found embedded within the core subjects. Big picture thinking is taugh in business strategy subjects, systems thinking in financial and quantitstive subjects. Forecasting is actually an exercise in creative thinking.

 

A few MBA students will realize that these core programs are already teaching you these methods of thinking and application of your essential business skills. For me, the realization came much later, years after I got my MBA degree. Just my two cents.
