Hi everyone,
I've followed the thread for a while now. I would like to seek some advice regarding my future here. I just graduated from pharmacy course this August and currently waiting for government's call for placement in the hospital to undergo my Provisionally Registered Pharmacist (PRP) training. Unfortunately, due to the saturation of pharmacy graduates in our country, it will take around 9-12 months before we can actually start our training.
I am a highly ambitious person and I always try my best to achieve my goals. It has been my target for a while now that I wanted to get a MBA after my pharmacy degree for myself and then work at a prestigious pharmaceutical company. Initially, I planned to take MBA full time only after 2 years of my PRP training. But right now since I'm having so much of free time myself due to waiting for government's call for placement, I'm thinking of doing MBA right away. I've done some research myself, institutions which offer MBA program that do not need any working experience in our country now are UPM and UKM. Now, you will say I do not have any working experience, can I really benefit from having MBA degree so early? For your information, during the last two years pursuing my degree, I have worked tirelessly as a freelance part timer almost every weekend. I have done various kinds of jobs which require different sets of skills and I am not afraid to challenge myself and push myself to the limit. I know the working experience that I have right now does not even remotely close in comparing to the 'relevant' working experience that most institutions need in pursuing their MBA program, but I do hope it does illustrate my determination to excel in my field in the future.
I'm 24 years old now and I do not wish to use one full year to stop working and just study for MBA. To me, it is gonna be a stagnation if I want to flourish in my future career. If I have the chance to do my MBA right now, I'm ready to take it. I know there is a lot of debate about which school offers the best MBA program in the country, but currently there are only UPM and UKM that will deem myself as eligible for their MBA programs, do you guys think I should go for it?
Thank you all very much for reading my lengthy post. And I really appreciate any insights that you all can offer me.
Since you quote the MBA, indicating you have an interest in venturing into management / business, can look at the following:I've followed the thread for a while now.

Intake is in September, so call today and they might be able to slot you in.
The whole programme should be at least 60% if not more of what you would learn theoretically in the MBA. Of course, minus the experience and higher-level networking; more academic.
