[原创]与老板吃饭，席间闲聊我的未来及念MBA之前的感想

Dtiger's case looks like a career-transferrer. Strategy & marketing might help you more than quantitative stuff in the long run. Part-time students normally have more solid working experiences than full-time kids. And for those hard skills, you don't even need to come to b-school, just find the book/notes and do some problems with your PHD Candidate tech background.

hlin4:

Why don't you condier part-MBA in Chicago? Of course, I appreciate your courage to be full time by quit 100K job. Since I'm in the similar case as you, coming to U.S more than 7 years, with Green Card, more than 100K job, what I'm chosing is going for part time MBA in NYU.

Hi, beechanooi,

    Thanks for your reply! I am not sure wether I can use that Roth IRA thing since I will take internship in summer, which is income of course... :-( I will also have some hour-based consulting service with my current employer (The one I just quitted), so still some income, although kind of low.
    By the way, can I use the Roth IRA money for tuition purpose? I remember 529 Plan is related to education, but I did not contribute that in the past.
    I have some I-bond and I heard the interest can be tax free (maybe in state level) if I use it for tuition purpose. Basically, I will take all the possible deductions as I can when filing tax return. That is why I have to create an EXCEL spreadsheet to evaluate all these options.
    Hope to get your more insights and welcome inputs from all friends! Thanks a lot!

It is possible. As I saw in the corporate ladder, many people did not possess MBA degrees. Also in banking or financial services, many are from quantative Ph.Ds, studied with assistantship from schools. I can say it has risk associated with such MBA investment, but just as I said: I am a person who dare to take the risk, and cherish the relationship between risk and return.

On the other hand, the choices are mutual exclusive. When you select one way, you will never know wether another way is there, until after some time. For me, MBA open the doors to me, and which level I can achieve may more relate to my luck and ability.

Again, thanks for inputs!

关键要看是谁的孩子, 要是别人的孩子, 那就先舍了再说?

If you could still change the status, take a consideration. Don't expect too much from MBA study, CFA level I covers more hard skills than what you will get from MBA first year. You couldn't learn much soft skills from the program as from those part-time guys. my 2 cents, your decision. Anyway, UC is great!

要是有不用孩子也能套着狼的OPTION,当然好办了.

可很多时候我们是不得不冒丢孩子的风险的.如果事后发现不用孩子也能套着那只狼,那就看你怎么看待人生中做出的决定,和为了实现自己决定的目标所付出的代价,所承受的风险了.另有一种可能是:套着狼以后,孩子也就救回来了.

人生里有很多条路,没走的那条未知的路总是有无尽的诱惑. 我不想恋倦于种种的可能,只想尽量抓紧时间去走我想走的那条路. 毕竟只有走过以后才了解其中滋味,尽管也有丢了孩子没套着狼的可能...

在将下去就是王家为的东邪西毒了:年轻的时候总觉得山那边的沙漠更美,总想要走到山那边去看看...等走到山那边了,也不再年轻了,才发现其实哪里的沙漠都是一样.......
