Civil Engineering BA then Msc in Management?
My bro graduated with an undergrad in Civil and now he hates it and wants to go into finance/management... Do you think this is a wise career move? Will such a candidate find jobs more easily/ more difficultly?

Your "bro" needs to understand one thing: 1) An MSc in Management is for people who want to be college or university lecturers AND for those who want a PhD in Management to be a professor. Period. 2) To be successful in the business world, he NEEDS an MBA. An MSc will not cut it. I am the Hiring Manager for a corporation - I see hundreds of resumes EACH DAY on my desk of people with MSc degrees in Management. These people's resumes are not even considered. I will only consider those with MBA degrees. Period.

The 3rd choice seems to be better...Go for Pre-Masters and then do MBA, unless you've both time and money to spend waiting for an MBA by opting the 2nd choice..

Want to get into investment banking-what am i doing wrong
Want to get into investment banking-what am i doing wrong?
I am very interested in becoming an investment banker/portfolio manager/working in hedge funds and other related areas. I understand that there is recession at the moment and these industries are the hardest hit. What can I do to get in? I have a BSc in Business management & IT (achieving first class) and has MSc in finance and accounting with distinction. I also have project management prince2 practitioner (although i don't think it's useful in any way for this). Problem is i finished my masters just when the recession started and hasnt been lucky since. I currenlty have a job in an entirely different field and its so frustrating at the moment bcos i feel like im wasting my life away and being seriously underpaid. Any ideas? Also i'm thinking of studying for CFA...will this really help or should i wait till i'm in the field b4 doing it? If you think i should do it, is there enough time to study for the june exam or go for september? Please help

Generally, investment bankers are recruited from the top business school management programs. If you attended a school that wasn't ranked in the top 25, you're effectively screwed.

is there anyone who has never got any job offer and is unemployed for a long time
is there anyone who has never got any job offer and is unemployed for a long time?
I have faced 15 interviews/assessment centres so far (entry level positions) in last 1 year. no luck. each time I receive different feedbacks. sometimes i am a confident presenter, sometimes I am nervous. sometimes I overtalk in the group discussion. sometimes I am a weak performer. it's an extremely difficult time for me. I'm afraid i will be out of work for all through out my life. previously I worked for 2 years outside UK. then I took a gap of 2 years for my baby before doing my MSc. in Finance (distinction).

MBA accredited schools for the same price of UNVA
MBA accredited schools for the same price of UNVA ?
I am considering joining UNVA for MBA (finance) and want to complete it in a year so that I can file my GC - EB2 category. Since I learned that UNVA is not really accredited, I wanted to know other options I have to complete MBA or MSc in Finance for about the same price @ UNVA ($405 per credit hour). Any suggestions for me? Also, if I pursue joining UNVA, what will I be giving up? Will I still get to proudly say that I completed MBA in my resume and all?

Your school must be regionally accredited in order for your degree to be considered genuine, and ideally, I *also* want your MBA program to be AACSB accredited. More and more employers now won't hire MBAs if their program wasn't AACSB. You can find a list of all AACSB accredited programs here: http://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/accreditedmembers.asp But it's the regional accreditation that's vitally important. I'm not even sure if you'd get your green card if you went to UNVA, since it's unaccredited. If you did go there, you risk that employers will not consider your MBA to be genuine. And if you were to go back home to your country and try to use it, you risk it not being recognized. If you are a resident of Virginia, look to see if any public colleges in VA offer an MBA. If they do, then they're likely your least expensive *reputable* option, as you get the lower, in-state rate on tuition - often a very good deal. Most full time MBA programs in the US are two years, not one year. However, there are some accelerated programs, which may be able to get you done in a year or a bit more. ETA: In some states in the US, such as New Jersey, it's actually against the law for you to list an unaccredited degree on your resume. So no, you really couldn't hold your head high if you went to UNVA. I'm sorry. You'll have to look for other options.

Hi; UNVA has accreditation (AUAC which it is international), added to that they are in the process of getting SACS (which it is regional) , and many other improvements. Accreditation is not mandatory, if an institution dose not have accreditation ti dose no mean that its degree dose NOT worth. Please visit the following page; http://www.schev.edu/students/accreditation.asp And no employer will check if a school has accreditation or not, they only look to the skills and competencies. This is wrong too, that you will not your green card because of school accreditation !!!!!! UNVA has certification from government to operate as University and cab also provide Curricular Practical Training (CPT) on F-1 visa. 80% of current MBA student at UNVA work while studying in their field of study. Good Luck Kaveh

Any international accreditation is honorable, but we would like to mention the accreditation of AMBA (The headquarters of this organization is located in the UK). AMBA accreditation currently is given to 161 schools in 72 countries. AMBA is among 3 most influential in the world international accreditations, along with AACSB (USA) and EQUIS (Belgium). Their authority is checked in time, and accredited educational institutions by them, as a rule, are world-renowned brands.
