simply no chinese keyboard at office..........


if you really want to staying a few year for a job, your career plan is ultmost important as the prob of staying higher depends on the major (and thus industry and role), and the country you are going.
CS is a typical example of "easy to study", while arts and related are the opposite.......reason = you know ga la......
country is another curcial point........some are more open. some are more strict on that........US is not really the best (or even good) on this side.


going to a some "water program" from a famous university (e.g. columbia mstat, jhu msf) indeed is a saftey choice in sense that the school is known all-over-the-world, but the concern is one may not learn (both exposure and academic) enough on the program, and will have a tough time in staying if the location is not good (especially in those program, relativly less have solid plans for career)
going for a speiclalized program somewhere which is after top 30/40, but with good location means that one have to use all effort to look for a job and stay, else it simply means throw $$ into the sea.

I don't agree. To be honest I don't have Chinese keyboard but I used google translate to type earlier. I think your comment is talking about MBA instead of MSA. Yes, M7 S16 are the ones have pretty good MBA programs and are well known, but you have to admit that most of them even have no accounting programs at all. There are very good MSA programs with "low" (something you dont know and dont care about) university rankings.

恩恩，我也是这么想的啊，所以才会一直纠结。要不然就去美国地理位置好的，要不然就去一个项目好的，我比较倾向于去 项目好的，最近想再申请UIUC，去争取努力一下。求职目标，就是去四大了，其实自己也想去弄明白一些事情，想知道职业目标之类的，但是我没怎么正式工作过，一个大四的学生真的能将这些看得这么清楚么？怎么才能将这些看得这么清楚呢。

名校的水专业？比如？我不是很了解啊，我也想走这个路来着。欧洲的话就不考虑来了，因为很想去美国念书， ...

比如MPP/MPA，NYU的SCPS，哥大统计。我同学还有申请Brown, Cornell的，好像是房地产还是什么专业的。
我对改文章也很头疼。但是文章只是写你历史中一部分，你一定有搭边的经历的，把那几个重点写就ok。

there are of course some good accounting program in some not-that-top university, but the concern will be, if one fail to find a job in US, and need to go back home for the first job (excluding intern), this "general reputation" will become a big concern.

I don't mean that one should never consider school after top30/40/... which had no reputation elsewhere, indeed I do suggest that if one had a solid career plan already and the programm fits that. (also holds for some european continent b-school, good location reputation, but no-name elsewhere). (e.g. UT Austin is always on the top list for accounting, but it never make into top 15).
I will even prefer that to buying a name from a "water" program, which indeed mostly likely means that one have the name of a master, but without relationship to the career path / own academic interest.

but before do so, one need to have their own plan, a reasonable one, and are willing to bear the difficulties & risk of looking up a job without visa. clearly OP is not yet.

of course that's not easy........and that's why the most typical business master in US, the MBA, requireds some year of experienec while application.......



pay sometime in viewing the function of different business division of the targeted industry, spend time on networking with alumni - not mean for a referee to a job but simply have a picture about what's the industry about. read a bit job ad to see what skill set is needed.
if you are not dedicated to only one country, compare the visa policy of different place;
compare the industry in different place, and see if which one are most in need of workforce.......
(this even hold within a big country like US: just like you will want to go to west coast if you do IT, east coast to do finance......)

view your degree as a ticket to a job. whenever you can exercise this option, it really depends much on your own. (and the result is sometime quite random.......)
if it worth or not, it really depends on how much you are desire to working oversea (and change of location also?).....

I agree with cheesechan about career plan. After all you have to be responsible for your own career/life path, and I think senior is old enough to think about it thoroughly, you may change your mind later but at least you should have something in mind

1. not much idea about marketing. but one question come to my mind is, do you desired job role really need a master or not?
especially you are in US, you dont need it to help you to seek relocation.

2. it's NYU SCPS - continuous education department.
