Fully Online MBA / Field Engineer?
Brief about the profile: Work experience: I work in the oil industry as a field engineer. I'm in front of a computer in the middle of nowhere all day.
I was accepted into LSU's MBA Full Time MBA program and was planning to start last August, but a week before class started I was offered a job I couldn't pass up. As anyone in the oil field knows, finding a job these last few years is extremely difficult so I couldn't so no.
I will be 12 months in the field by this upcoming August. I work 12 hour shifts at my current job which has TONS of downtime in front of the computer. I'm talking 75% of the shift is TV or preferably something more productive. I'm confident I can manage both at once.
Extracurriculars: Society of Petroleum Engineers, ASSE
Undergrad school/major: Louisiana State University, Petroleum Engineering
Other education/coursework: Exchange program at UNSW in Sydney, AU.
GMAT Score: Verbal: 37 / 83% Quant: 43 / 50% Total: 650 / 75% Analytical: 5.0 / 54% IR: 7 / 82%
Undergrad GPA: 3.76
MBA Info
The goal of MBA: I wanted to get an MBA before this job offer. Although I am happy to have this job, the excessive amount of downtime leaves me wanting to feel productive and to do something worthwhile. This seems like a great time to kill two birds with one stone.
Target schools: Fully Online, but if a residency week or two is needed that's fine. I'm looking at Penn State, Florida, LSU, and others.
Check the salary statistic of Harvard vs LSU and see if you feel ok.
Thank you.
Fellow oil and gas engineer checking in. Tbh I think online MBAs are largely a waste of time and money. I'd save up for a part time MBA, as it seems you're content with staying in the industry.
