外企工作6-7年 UCR？

hoopchina

如题，本人T103，G650，上海再待下去要发疯了，销售背景，外企6年工作经验，

UCR MBA full time去的话 是否是浪费时间？貌似很多都是没有工作经验的人上这个PROGRAM，是不是每个学校都是这样啊？

但是学校的人邮件说，来自23个国家的人参加这个program。

纠结。

是有点浪费时间。

人生这么长，总是会碰到几次瓶颈的。难道每次碰到瓶颈，你就去读MBA？

OK，有理有据，但是弱弱的问下，为何说是浪费时间，难道对此学校的MBA有所内幕消息？

You ask a very good question. It's very hard for me to tell you whether you should go to a specific school or not, because it depends a lot on the specifics of your position, on what you do, what your current situation and salary is, what your career goals are, where you want to live and work, and so on… But what I can tell you is that the number of countries people come from is totally irrelevant. The single most important thing in my mind is "How does this school get me to my goals?" followed quickly by "Is it worth it?" (financially).

To answer your first question, the information you need most is: What do people do after they graduate? Where do they get hired? What are their salaries? What are the school's employment statistics? You can find some of this information here: http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/full_time_mba_profiles/ucriverside.html, and we see that job offers are not superb,(only 64% got offers within three months) and that salaries for an MBA area bit low (in comparison to top programs), but this may be good for you, depending upon your current salary).

Which brings me to my second point - ROI (Return on Investment). This one is easier because it is a financial calculation - figure out what your salary might b after graduating, figure out the costs (including the opportunity costs of two missed years) for you to go there, and see how long it will take to pay it back. This is a good place to start. It would also be a good idea to speak with other Chinese students from the school to see how the job placement is for people from your country.

I hope this helps you get started! And if you have further questions, you know where to find us.

本人上海女一枚，工作一年，2月被告知要调剂专业从Accounting换到MBA。。今早收到录取却觉得有些茫然。。不知道接下去该做什么。。

thanks for your infok, Jon, definitely enlightening!
Just one thing, i can not open the link you gave me, could you help post it here directly?

I believe in every MBA program, it must be filled with Non-working experinced students, no offense, but i am a comparative "old" guy. about the job offers,  i do believe it mostly depend on the personal quality, although what is brand of MBA could help you somehow, especially fromTop ones.

Granted, Living in US is fat chance, that is always a sweet sweet dream for most of us.

我在UCR群里看到10个8个MBA没有超过24岁的，仅供参考
