hey guys - not sure what this person is applying for. MBA? MSc? I think it's an MBA and they want to ...

And yes, I would like to get a MBA degree eventually.

Hi, I was thinking about applying to a MBA but was told that most MBA programs require two or more ...

Ah, that makes much more sense

First off, congrats on graduating from college! You've got some exciting times ahead of you, and I'm glad you're already thinking about the next steps. So let's talk about it. It is true that MBA programs want at least 2-4 years of work experience. This is for a few reasons: 1) they want you to be able to bring that experience to the classroom, in order to contribute to the discussions and 2) They want people with very clear and defined career goals. And it's often difficult to know exactly what you want to do with your life when you've never actually worked

If you ultimately want to get an MBA, then the best move after college is to get out there and start working. If you were to go and apply to MSF or MFin programs, then that's just another year or two of not working, and those degrees will make it HARDER to get an MBA later. [The adcom will STILL want work experience... so getting a job now is going to help you out in the long run.]

Of course, it all really depends on what you want to do. Can an MSF or MFin help you get a job later? Absolutely! But it all depends on what kind of job you want. Those programs will lead you into a career in finance, which is awesome. But if you aren't sure that's what you want, then you should not apply to either of those now. Get out there, get a job, figure out what you LIKE, and then you can see if an MFin or an MBA is better for you... and you can apply at that point!

Hope that helps :-D

嗯好的谢谢你~ 如果不考虑OPT因素，你觉得先读个Master of Finance之类的再工作好吗？ ...

如果能找到一个合适的工作没有必要读Master

Thank you very much. This helps a lot !
One more question. I am planning to take the CFA exam (starting next year June and will take a total of 3 years), do you think a MSF or MFin degree will do me any good in addition to the CFA certificate (assuming I will get it in three years) if I am certain I want to do finance.
Thanks a lot.

Best Regards,

Isabella

嗯我是这么想的。但是时间点有些尴尬。。因为我明年6月份毕业，想毕业工作，最晚明年9月开始工作（给自己最后一个暑假）。可要是没有好工作那个时候申请也来不及了。现在就在考虑要不要apply master。我想先申请几个target试试看要是不行也没什么损失。

Absolutely! If you want to stay in Finance, any finance-related certification or degree is certainly going to help you. Not only for what you'll learn IN the classroom, but also for the networking and recruiting activities that are so huge in these programs. Getting a job and getting ahead in your career is always easier when you can tap into a large network, and that's one of the BIGGEST reasons to get an advanced degree. It is certainly possible to do some finance jobs without that degree, but there are also certain jobs out there that require certain degrees, like an MSF or MFin. So it really depends what you want to do. What I'd recommend is to work for a bit, see what you like, and do your research on the careers you want. That will help you figure out what type of degree you need, if any, and you can make the smartest decision that way.
