am i on a right track: Please suggest.
Hello All,
I can see there are several threads similar to this , I am looking for some advice and suggestion to make important step in my life.
Here is my background:
I have a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering , been working from last 7 years in a technical role, and from last year or so in a management position in an international company.
I am currently 33 years old have one young kid (5 years old), and 2nd is expected in few months, wondering how should i plan rest of my career. I am happy in my Job, but as its a technology oriented company, so I don't really see myself working here until retire. I want to have financial security for my family, freedom, feeling of accomplishment, and have a strong desire to be successful.
So far i have done very well , i am very happy and satisfied with my job.
Why i am thinking of doing an MBA:
Here is what i have in mind, and people please correct me if i am way off.
With my technical background, and management experience, combined with previous masters degree, I want to add techniques of management and knowledge business in my resumes and skillset.
My aim/hope/objective is to attain qualification and experience from MBA, which will help me to move into different career, such as management consultancy, general management in IT company or business.
Although i am very happy in my current job and position, but i will be lying if i say, i am not looking to change job or industry.
With all things in mind, what you folks suggest, am i on a right track with MBA in mind? If so please help me what kind of opportunities i could avail after MBA, or what doors with MBA, one with someone similar to my background can open.
Schools:
I am local in LA area, but i am open to suggestions.
Corenell-Queens has a EMBA, which is combined mixture of Video conf and campus based. It would suit me perfectly.
Here is what i have in mind, and would appreciate any feedback.
- Cornell
- USC
- UCLA
Most likely i will goto Cornell EMBA program if got admission, would this be a good choice? I am looking to invest 130k, which i would take half from my pension fund :).
In Internationally market which school has a stronger brand name? Specially in EU, Middle east
Thanks for reading this, and i would appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experience with me.
