I am a 20 + year educator and I’ve been looking at this degree. In my state I would have to get 2 more degrees just to become a principal (I am currently an assistant principal). I would like to spend the next 20 years of my career in executive director roles of independent/charter schools. I met with the dean of the program I am interested in and he stated that the Masters degree in education is the most popular (as in many people have them). But the leaders of most organizations are MBA’s. That statement sealed my decision. Thx for all of the info brother!
Tryna get that operations manager or director role company I work with is all old heads in management they like seeing the degree that’s how I got role I have now they respected I got the bachelors while working in sales and taking care of my kids After listen more to ur video I work for a Fortune 500 company so makes sense for me
At minimum, it shows that you have the drive to learn and grow. That, in and of itself, is a very positive signal. For that learning to culminate in earning an MBA is sometimes the "proof" you need to show to advance to the next level. Best of luck!
Great video! In your opinion, does it matter what you specialize in your MBA? In other words, do HR folks care? I have over 10+ years of professional experience, btw.
Thanks for the comment! It matters somewhat. I've always been of the position that there are more MBA degree holders than ever before. If you have one, then you're one of many. How do you differentiate yourself? Work experience, of course, is the main differentiator. But as it relates to the degree itself, getting a degree from a Top 10 school can be a differentiator. Another one is the specialization you decide to pursue that can give you a slight advantage in the job search and in interviews if the specialization matches your career interests. Data analytics (if offered by the MBA program) is one I recommend the most as it is widely applicable in almost any field.
