Thats why its important to see who enrols for the MBA you plan to take. For INSEAD, Ivy league etc, those are at a minimum high corporate performers, businessmen, and rich man sons. You will gain much from the network.
My friend took MBA with a local university and most of the student population are the 'cert chasers'/4-5k income (no offence) takungzai. Just sayin'
Plus, it will give you most benefit if you run you own business where your learnings will multiply your biz income; i.e. you get richer where it counts after MBA. Or if you work in a corporate environment where you as a high performer has chance to get stock options- you improve the biz your stock value goes up. (STATEMENT- I fully believe that the course contents of MBA are practicable)
You will not get much benefit if you work in chinaman company (outright refusal to recognize) or MNC which are sweatshops in disguise (e.g. electronics industry in Penang).
I previously loved the idea of having MBA but in the end I took some free modules from www.coursera.org by Wharton. Two things will prevent me from actually doing MBA:
1. I realized I do not have the interest to spend my free time studying.
2. I am a Malaysian man- I.e. no point work so hard and no benefit. I may have the skills to improve the biz but if I am not a own biz owner or identified by company as a 'fast track to corporate board' employee, I wont want to apply the skills to the company.
Your mileage may vary. Sorry for being cynical.
Haha, Kaiserwulf,
In a certain light, what you say is actually the case. Most MBA (Let's not discuss where) would be salary man. That's no doubt, even myself a salary man. However, I believe it does not matter on whether the current you are of no rich or highly paid nor businessman. It is the attitude that matter more, if you are doing a MBA from a valid point (for self improvement, it's also a gamble) rather than for certification collection, you would try to learn and think in the right way as you go. Hence, if the people you are doing the MBA with are at least of this attitude, you would gain some would be powerful people in the future (potentially of course, it's a chance).
I believe in order to gain something, we must work for it. No doubt this would spend a lot of time and resource for the 2 years period, however, only we can tell if it is worth it, either along the way, or only at the end of it.
1) Agree with either Chinaman or disguise MNC/environment, hence forth would an MBA help you to go and search/identify a better environment for your future career?
2) What if, the aforementioned MBA graduate uses the knowledge in overseas, for example, Singapore, Australia or UK/US? Anyone who have/had the experience to share?
It's alright to be critical and cynical, so you would see the condition in a what if it's no good condition. But of course don't stop if you are keen to try, at least in your experience, you would not wonder if you have otherwise did it.
Don't even want to think about how much the tuition fees would go up the following year (I referred to the Notthingham fees of 10% increase since last year, with currency weakening it would be worst).
