Is getting an MBA important to your career life?

Getting an NBA can accelerate your career so it may help you achieve in five years what would have taken say ten years. What I have found is that there are a few key things. First is get an MBA where you find students and professors who are very active and avoid those where it is a lecture format or on line.One of the key experiences in your MBA is the the real life exercises. Some schools establish consulting like programs where teams will work with a firm in a real life consulting engagement.

The second part is to constantly apply what you have learned to your own work. Don't just perform the tasks of your predecessors or how your boss may instruct you. Look to see how you would apply the skills developed in your MBA to the work.You will be challenging the norm which is easier to do with your predecessor than your boss. Be cautious but challenging just the same. Creating change can add value and yo will be recognized for it.

Of course, having an MBA is your first advantage, I believe you, yourself must know how to make use of the best knowledge you learn from your MBA to your career life.

Then my second question is: Where would you prefer to take your MBA?
1. International MBA in Vietnam
2. Study oversea
3. Local MBA
and Why?

Hi Janice, join this forum, you may find more answers than you expect: http://vietmba.com/. By the way, I'm not sure of your bachelor, but if you did it abroad, you'd better not take the local MBA.

I gained my MBA in Singapore, but I'd like to know more about the perspective of others

May I ask which school did you go to?
