dragon0401 Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 I think regardless of what you are studying, the value of empirical experience on how you process info is vitally important. I think as an undergrad you don't need that, but as a grad student you need to consider what you are being taught relative to what you have seen/experienced, and find the truth that works for you somewhere in the middle.As a guy w/ an MBA, I'm sure you didn't just swallow what they taught you in grad like in undergrad, but, rather, did (subconsciously or not) what I was trying to explain above.That being said, I regret not pursuing an MBA. Congrats for you bro.bassboy .. true .. actually i have an MBA which i had after working for few years in the field . and i also have a M.Sc. in computer science .. which i got after few more years .. initially i was doing Ph.D. but then felt that i need more life experience to be able to honestly stand in front of people and claim knowledge .. that is how i always thought of professors .. so even tho i passed the two major exams (prelim and comprehensive) .. all the course, and started my dissertation .. i realized .. i dont deserve that degree yet without that kina knowledge (fyi .. i had full scholarship .. i know .. u might be calling me stupid now but i dont regret it either) .. sooo .. i decided to drop school .. but then my professor/supervisor at the time adviced that i get another master since i completed all the reqs for it anyway .. so i did .. sorry long story .but goes to say that u gotta do what is good for u ... but what also makes sesne from both academic and field perspectives .. peacethe MASK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassboy Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 why did you choose an MA over an MBA in the first place?just curious I didn't want to go into business, I've been working in foreign policy and it has been during grad school that I've developed a very serious interest in going into business for myself.... I may get an MBA, but it's so much more $$$. Have you got one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon0401 Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 school is good and all for some people. but why, in most recent years, are people majoring in things that you cant learn at college? ie fashion, music, acting etc etci guess everyone seek to polish their talent/passion/skill .. in certain ways .. and some people choose fashion, music, acting ..etc. all of which, as a matter of fact, can be taught in school but will need talent for it to work thats my 2centspeacethe MASK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may get an MBA, but it's so much more $$$. Have you got one?when considering MBA . it used to be the name of school that makes the difference .. like berkly, harvard, stanford, yale, etc. but i dont beleive this is the case anymore some middle name schools are emerging that still offer good programs and their students seem to be doing well .. take for example a college like Barauch college . they are becoming more recognized for their business school ..also .. u can seek an MBA from state colleges that are famous yet much more affordable .. examples include .. Georgia Tech (my school), Virginia Tech, NJIT ..etc.you might also consider starting with a less famous school .. do really well in teh first couple of semesters . then apply for a famous one towards the end of your study .. get accepted .. transfer .. (you might end up loosing some credits, but it is worth it) .. and graduate from the famous school .. where no one would ever know that you spent the first part of your MBA in a less-known school in any case .. best of luckpeacethe MASK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
