   An MBA, in my opinion, serves one purpose: more money.
   It doesn’t necessarily get you your dream job, it just gives you more opportunities to demand a higher paying job.

   It’s the most popular graduate progra, which tell you that people find it very useful. The MBA degree was originally created because engineers working for companies were promoted to managerial positions, and often they did not know how to manage, although they were good engineers. Companies needed managers who could understand what the engineers were saying, and managers without engineering degrees often did not understand the engineers and their needs. Business schools responded by creating the MBA degree. It is a general degree designed to train student to enter any area of management up to CEO. Most MBA programs accept students with any undergraduate degree. The MBA is in contrast to the MS degree which trains students to reach higher levels of knowledge in their specialty so that they can serve as better staff and researchers, with no intention of becoming high level managers.

   Consult the Official MBA Guide. It’s a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc. ), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc. ), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It’s the best service available at http://officialmbaguide. org.

   An MBA is not a “silver bullet” or a “magic wand” when it comes to getting a new job. Employeers are still going to look very closely and weigh very heavily your past experience and performance. Getting an MBA, however, will give you an advantage over other candidates who do not have one. It also says something about your character and shows initiative and motivation that you put the effort into going back to school.

   Here is an exercise I highly recommend. Do a job search on Monster. com, indeed. com or your favorite job search website and try to find several examples of what you would consider a dream job. Then look at the requirements of those positions and see if you would need or benefit from an MBA in order to get one of those positions. Try also searching with MBA as part of the query and see what it produces. Also, look at the people above you within your organization. Talk to them. What kind of qualifications, education, etc. , do they have?

   The job types typically fall into 3 broad categories; management (over people), product management, analysts.

   My undergrad is in engineering and I went back to get my MBA. Although it has not yet helped my career much, I absolutely loved my MBA experience.

   If you do decide to get your MBA, the school you choose can make a big difference in whether it helps you get a new job. Look very closely at how (if at all) they help their MBA’s get jobs, what type of jobs and typical salaries. The school should have a department devoted solely to MBA job placement. This will make a big difference

   Good luck!
