mba from where?

agree totally

get a oversea paper will be better

mba is really a huge commitment leh, from your earnings, u most probably will spend huge percentage on the course fees.
do mind indicate your age and your first degree ?
any motivation on doing the mba ?
i completed mine in 08
there so many choices like UPM, UKM, UM, sunway, segi, cdc and etc...

well.. you have a first degree which is a good thing,if possible maybe you can let us know what major is your first degree.
i did my my mba around late 27 also, i did it for few reasons which is long story ... anyway

u need to understand good quality MBA will require substantial effort and your time, u need to evaluate your commitment to your job, i told my frens and and relative the same thing over and over again, mba course is like a marathon, not a sprint.. the 2 year commitment, in between a lot can happen. i went through twice, mine and my wife MBA, fetching her to school for the 2 years period and siiting in the class with her sometime..when she too tire, so i take note for her.

i have classmate did not make it in the end, not because there not smart nor hardworking enough, is just changes in career, financial and family matter, the class shrink half in size by the time we grad.

during my time i shortlisted cdc Strathclyde MBA is the best being triple accredited, MBS from sunway just started i think, but at 100k no way I can ROI on it in Malaysia payscale and in my indsutry.

i think you know this already, since you already research, will input further later

i did not grad from the above institute, but it turn out alright on my option.

Moral support.. sometime to redo a fail subject.
At the final stage, she almost giving up, the best i can do is be there. Talk is cheap right, i can say i done it before so can you, nah i decided to sit next to her. It work out in a way.

The institute she went to have a big classes with 60 plus student, they did not notice me.

my 2 cent continue.. leaving the ranking of university aside first (mine mba is from uk top 10, from the bottom) hehe
before you put your hard earn money, most probable u might be withdrawing from your epf and such.. (you might be streching your resource) money and time, your gf might scream when u cannot accompany her in most of the weekend. u be spending a lot lot time on meeting assignment deadline.

then maybe oneday u will ask, do u really need a mba (bang too late)? paying money to suffer "my classmate term it" all these cons is quite negative "i know" but i share the pro with u later, so u need to confirm u need a mba. then we discuss school

u know most of the private college share the same lecturer (freelancer), my lecturer last time also teach at the tripple accredited mba insitute (concurrently). my thesis supervisor is a fellow researcher (ex-dean)in our national uni.

Added on June 9, 2011, 3:10 pmour message got cross.. so u in IT line, some college let u sit in their class to get a feel of the teaching, hahah .. some school is good but got lousy lecturer, some lousy school have good lecturer, my experiance a lousy uni (low ranking), fantastic school (supportive staff) with some good lecturer. lenient on assignment deadline.

on the lecturer (which u cannot control)i beleive u can learn the most when u have a good mix of them the real academic fella, the retire and the current one who is still in the corporate world.

disclaimer, my 2 cent only, sometime i look at the school website of certain uni, i look at the lecturer profile and wonder if these fella who is a master / phd holder but do not have working experiance in the real world outside.. i wonder what he can offer(teach)me, the fella could be just reading from the text book

remember it was in my consideration as well long time ago, and think is not cheap, since paying in pound or usd, beside not only missing the triple accreditation, the ranking also not fantastic

also no mqa/jpa

anyway i also dun mind no ranking no accreditation, no mqa but no classroom with lecturer hmm .. abit tough

All the best, at least something is better than noting. Good luck

if can do a degree firstloh,
most college also accept dip, but maybe need more working experiance
the MBA dun guarantee anything, my mba classmate sell toilet bowl, after grad still sell toilet bowl

u will pay alot of money and if lucky u get a piece of paper to hang at the wall, the failure rate is high, even u suceed to grad, u might still be taking telephone call. my experiance with my 20 plus classmate some
still stuck with their old co no promotion no raise.

u paying on your own ? your blood and sweat money, then drag your feet to school, spending your resting time, fight the traffic and see some fella reading from text book.

have u exhausted other option available, think hard, very hard

get a sponsor, other people money

yah it improve my career, first my mba is sponsor, the mba i did is RM30k,
my annual package if average monthly out will be more than that
so when people tell u only do MBA from ivy league or top ten uni in the world and gettiing into detail of ROI,
tell them to fly kite

small got small play, big got big play, we not going to wall street
