Post by hanad_mn »

Is this a rewarding Academic goal to achieve? I mean if someone is MBA Holder, would that be enough to earn him a rewarding career to feed him and his family?

Hanad,

Depends on where you got your MBA from..Which school? How you sell yourself, your background, how you can apply what you studied, how strong is your resume, sometimes your connections etc etc

Iska qaado warqaddu ma shaqaynayso....I know some friends who made the MBA and are jobless and I know some who are flourishing...

Can't you go to the medical field? 99% it is a secure job..

I don't know what you mean by rewarding, but more often than not an MBA will have little effect on potential future earnings without adequate prior experience, and that's not even getting into the fact that your MBA needs to be from a prestigious, accredited school to make even the slightest difference.

99% of the time it's a complete waste of time, and I'm speaking from experience.

Obviously.

Anything from Harvard makes a difference, but the probability of the OP going to Harvard is nonexistent.

An MBA with no past experience means less than an art degree in all honesty. Don't waste your time.

you can feed your self and family without even a degree , if that all what you want!!

you need to love what you doing, not just for money unless it's quick money and temporary.

and first and for most get connections, get to know people who can get you to other people.

It makes no difference what you've studied,it is about who you know. In business network, how you present yourself are important.

Hanad,

If you have good prior work experience it can make a difference, and get you to some upper level management. But without prior experience it doesn't matter, in fact it may even hurt you

Degree doesn’t make you rich. It only gets you ready to compete. Not only you have to earn the degree but you must know what to do with it.

To answer your question, from the right school YES, MBA is very attractive degree . With the right career path, you can earn comfortable living. The majority of the business sectors in all aspects are headed by MBA holders. The Wall Street is run by MBA holders. All banks in the world are run by MBA holders. MBA is the only degree in the world that gives you multiple career opportunities. You can manage and operate all kind of business sectors with MBA such as healthcare, manufacturing, service oriented industries, Banks, small business, construction industries, teaching in colleges, government sectors and many more.

If you’re thinking about , do it.

Best thing to do is acquire some experience first and the organization you are working for may even pay for your MBA.

MBA will definitely put you head of someone with out it.
