The way I think about an MBA is that it will help me for my career- for the rest of my life- rather than just being for a job. The network that you gain access to is amazing, not to mention the great classes, fellow classmates, and so on. In fact, all the more because you want to continue expanding in China, I would suggest going overseas. After all, in say 10-20 years time, when you are very successful, you will probably know a lot of top professionals in China. But how many will you know from the rest of the world? Say you want to bring a company to the US, or vice versa, or to any other part of the world. Where do you turn to? That's the true power of the network. It gives you access to people that you yourself don't typically interact with. Most people, I suspect, view this the wrong way. They think, "I want to be an auditor in China, so let me network with auditors in China". Well, that helps you for a while, but after a while you'll find that if you ever think about doing something different, or need help in any other area, you may find that your friends, and your friend's friends, are all within the same circle. That's a network that is a lot less 'alive' and helpful, but is unfortunately the situation that many people find themselves in. As for schools that achieve both your goals of having a stellar reputation while also helping your immediate career in China, think about schools that have a lot of Chinese alumni. At Wharton we enroll about 50 Chinese students each year, for instance (and that's just MBA- there are also undergrad and PhDs). Add to this the number of foreigners who end up in China after Wharton (eg. the Lauder Chinese track) and you have a substantial number of alumni that graduate from Wharton, year after year, whom you can look to for help expanding your network even within China. Just my two cents worth! |
