chuker Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 thanks jo, im gna go check out UP this weekend. I already confirmed with AIM, it's full time with them. Plus a minimum of 3mos requirement to stay in their dorm. after that u could live off campus. but the workloads supposed to be unbelievable so they advise u to live within the vicinity. I talked to 2 UP mba grads and they did say it was also good. one of them (he's about 60, started his company after n is really doing well for himself) said he worked while studying, the other (25, just started work n is already on the fast track on one of our bigger local companies) said she couldn't work bec. she had to study in the mornings just to keep up. between the 2 im thinking it would still affect the type of work i could do wen i do start. hey jo, are u a recent grad? how was it? did u still manage to go out or was it all work for u? how did it affect ur prof life after? what r u doing now? (compared to before u went in) I would suggest you to try out AIM. The training you get from the program is great. As for the workload, it's only heavy during the 1st year; but it can be done. Just buckle down and read, you can't go wrong. The finance there is amazing! If you hate numbers, you'll learn to like it. Hehehehe. Just remember one thing, do not try to over analyze. It's really more of common sense. It really does open doors for you. I would suggest that one would get more than the 2 year minimum required, because you can suddenly become under qualified and over qualified at the same time. Good luck if you pursue it and the WACs aren't really that hard. Oh yeah, when you enter; start looking for a topir for your MRR/thesis. The earlier you get it done the better. Quote Link to comment
cbotc Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 A business guru once said what you get from an MBA are three things: knowledge, networks and a credential - in descending order of importance. This valuable advice applies not only to an MBA but any post-grad program for that matter. One does not maximize the value of a post-grad program if one only pursues it for knowledge sake. Particularly in business and management careers, when all other things are equal, the quality and quantity of your networks can give you that cutting edge. Quote Link to comment
BallBreaker Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) am on a forced hiatus right now from my post grad studies (MSN) because of a lousy work schedule. should've seen it coming. it's one of those things on my "bucket list" though, whether or not I finish it here or do it when I get to migrate abroad na. time is of the essence e.

azayco Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I have plans to pursue graduate studies abroad because there are no schools here offering a decent master's program in my field of study. It is not that important to my current job, but I am planning to join an international firm. These international firms require a graduate degree for graduates of foreign universities.
