I believe in education,
I have a bachelors degree and
an accounting designation,
so my blanket answer to
‘Should I get my MBA?’
is usually yes.
Usually.
Not always.
A friend of a friend approached me.
She is one of those rare creatures,
a female engineer
working in a large consulting company.
She wants to get her MBA
so she can make the switch
from design to marketing.
This is not an executive MBA
(done after hours).
This is not being paid for by her company.
My advice?
There are easier ways to accomplish
her goal.
Like simply applying for the position.
Being a female engineer differentiates her enough
to land an interview.
It would be up to her selling skills to do the rest.
