Masters in Business Administration (MBA)

Anyone have formal education in business? Just curious to see how many people on DP have a MBA.

I'm thinking about getting one later in my career.

 

I am doing my BBA right now in one of the top schools in Canada. $$$ maybe one day MBA $$$

 

Yes,i did have it.
I get it 8 years ago.
But now days MBA is not sufficient if you lack of current economy knowledge.

 

I have an MBA in business administration. I will be attending fullsail university next year for another one in internet marketing.

Good luck.

 

How does those MBA programs work ?? Is Internet Marketing a speciality or something like that ?? Thanks for explaining

 

Yes it is. I've been searching for a while to find something that interests me and finally decided to go with an MBA in internet marketing. full sail university offers it via online classes and on campus. Since I live closer I will be attending classes.
You can find more details about the program and areas of studies here:

MBA from Santa Clara University, 1966.

 

And is internet you primary job right now ?? what about the last 10,20 years of your career ??

 

I've had basically four careers (or mini-careers):

• U.S. Air Force officer
• FAA radar air traffic controller
• Bible college dean (and faculty)
• Pastored two churches

I'm retired now, and webmastering (non-profit, sig link #2) is keeping me busy.

 

A friend of mine runs a drain cleaning company near Kansas City. One of his employees has an MBA. He can't find a job that will make him any more money. He was laid off of one job and couldn't get another in a field related to his degree. His only two job offers were to be a police officer or a drain cleaner. Since he'd make more money cleaning sewers he went that direction.

My friend that owns the company barely finished high school. Ouch.

 

I'm still thinking of taking my MBA. Still not sure. Might take a lot of time from my beloved online business. To people who took their MBA, what made you do it?

 

I'm doing BBA now, hope to go for MBA one day...

 

Cool,that's really great.Hope I can take the course one day.At present,it's not possible.

 

It's impressive to see so many people here with MBAs. I've a BSc in Management and Marketing myself, might consider doing an MBA at some stage in the future.

 

I'm going to study business adminstration but I'm thinking which college do you prefer to study in this major ? Online college or college academic ?!

 

i am doing online mba with job. i haven't interested in regular mba.

 

business adminstration is one of popular major in USA , if someone want to study in this major i make a suggestion to study for getting last degree MBA because it's useful for future , it doesn't difference be online or academic , both of them are good

 

The great asset of MBA is that you can work in any field afterwards.

 

MBA is okay if you plan to work for someone. There are two kinds of programs. Case study, and book learning with a little case study. Either way, expect to write a lot more papers than you did in undergrad. MBA programs run from one year of full time to year and a half full time.

If you are an entrepreneur, then an MBA is window dressing and perhaps a waste of time. It may not be worth a bowl full of Cheerios because you aren't employable.

 

I'm engineering background and now taking MBA (part time study).
I talking MBA course just because i like to know more, just as knowledge learning
Of course, knowledge is always give help to you in your career
