Hi Harjeet,

Insteed of going for MBA, I seriously advice you to invest you one year in letter and e-mail writing.

Regards.

You may be right. for for that matter none of us is free from mistakes.

But at the same time we need to differentiate between repeated gross carelessness and mistakes by chance.

Thank you.

MBA's are Falling from Favor as To theoretical because many MBA students lack practical business experience. With out significant business experience, most of the context of the case studies is missed.

http://www.bnet.com/2403-13070_23-170538.html

I worked for more than 30 years with my BS, before going for my MBA. I can assure you that the bright but inexperienced students with no business experience in my MBA classes do not get one percent of the content that they are provided.

Why race to get yet another degree? Why not get experience in your field? What do you really think the value of a distance learning graduate degree is, except for an empty credential, when compared to a real face to face time spent with the professor and classmates program?

How many years of work experience in business will you bring to your studies?

Experience will increase your capacity to learn and apply MBA lessons, by expanding your conceptual range.

I have a 4.0 GPA, Am the "old guy" that blows everyone away in class, and have already been asked by the Dean to teach upon graduation. (No brag-Just fact) It is not my classwork that got me this, It was learning from my experience.

Nice.

No, I am not Rappin Rodney.

The idea about MBA's losing respect is not my idea, just my observation. In a world where mere computation power is abundant and easily off shored, what is the special "charm" of an MBA and his quantitative approach?

What I see the world valuing is good design. I'm guessing that a MFA with business and engineering background will be the "Killer App" employee of the next decade or so.

After reading past questions posted to this forum by harjeetsinghengg, I whole-heartedly support his decision to pursue an MBA. I believe that he will be less a danger to himself and others if he is kept as far from electricity as possible. He is probably better suited for the business world than for the electrical engineering world.

"He is probably better suited for the business world than for the electrical engineering world."

I doubt that too. reason is if He could not understand basics even after many years of engineering, How do you expact him to do something new at this age?

What a cynical and irresponsible response! The only instances I have seen of persons appearing incompetent were when they lacked experience (fresh out of varsity) .

One particular "hopeless" greenie I met when I was doing parttime studies pestered me to get him a job. When the opportunity came, I reluctantly offered his contact details, "knowing" that things would end disastrously for him... except, a few years down the line he was a top engineer, with a quite diverse knowledge base! So: never say never.

I did, however, also meet persons who had graduated in the engineering field who later settled in commerce or business early in their careers.

Speaking rather generally, I would support the idea of doing the MBA after accumulating some contextual experience. That being said, harjeetsinghengg, you must decide what you ultimately want to do: be an engineer or an executive type? The fact that you are asking this question does suggest that you want out. But if you want to stay in the technical/academic side of things, then finding a technology company that offers growth opportunities in these areas might be a better plan. The company I work for employs some rather bright young PhD's who are at the forefront of their respective fields, breaking new ground.

My wife recommends that you go to www.mba.com . She is just starting her MBA so is traveling a similar track to you. Because her BS was NOT in business, she has had to take about 5 years (part time) of business courses, both undergrad and post grad, just to qualify to take the GMAT test (which qualifies her for the MBA program).

I explained to her that I have no idea where in the WORLD you are, but she says that the above link should tell you anything and everything about it.

Sincerely

Bill

I assume you are from India. You can do MBA distance education course from IGNO or Symbosis. Both have good reputation.

Re: can u solve(mba)

Dear Harjeet,

As one of the forum members put it,you seem to want to get out of the engineering field,the fact that you're considering a change just at the end of your degree suggests that. If you do a distance education programme in MBA from anyplace be it Symbiosis or IGNOU,chances of you getting a realy good completely-managerial job are very less in India because there is no dearth of full time MBAs from good institutions.If you are really sure about leaving engineering (can't stand electricity for even a day more) then do a full time course,put all the rest away and just get into the CAT mode!Then you will be an MBA who will carry his engineering degree,which you never really put to use around his neck like a trophy for life.But that will still be better professionally that a Distance education programme.

What I would suggest is that you spend at least two years in your field and then decide if you have the nerve to leave work and do a full time degree or whether an Executive-MBA (NOT distance education) would suffice.And then you'll be able to pick which MBA to do also much more simply.

All the Best!

hi, friends

I m thankful to all of guests and members to make me familiar with my short comings. But I would like to make one thing clear to all of u that I m not going to drop my Engineering field, I want to empower my field with the MBA. So now is there any specific brach in MBA which enhance my career with Electrical Engineering knowledge.

thanks,

Harjeet Singh.

Dear Harjeet,

Every MBA will enhance your knowledge and then it's your wish which way you would want to turn,for eg

If you did an MBA in Project Management then you would be a better Project Electrical Engineer.

If you do one in Marketing,then you can work as an Electrical Marketing engineer.

If in Finance,then you'd understand the logistics behind the electrical departments and electrical organisations better

The same goes for International Business,Trade and Commerce etc.

But you can be in all these profiles without an MBA too...

And nobody can assure you that you'll be still doing electrical engineering in your white collar managerial job!

Try posting this question in the electrical engineering field,ask the pros there what field in management in Electrical Engineering offers more hope.But at the end of the day,it will be your interest that will make you decide what you take up.

Original post said:

"I have done electrical and electronic engg."

Current post says:" I m not going to drop my Engineering field."

A modest suggestion, not "pointing out a shortcoming," but in the interest of continuous improvement, would be to communicate more clearlythe applicable aspects of time and tense so that responders have clearer picture of the facts.

Original post says you completed engg. now you imply that that is ongoing.

How can we help you when your words are inconsistent?

Focus your work on on your engg.. and don't get distracted by MBA until you have finished engg.

Words have meaning. past is different from present. To communicate professionally, choose words more carefully. And terms in equations.

good luck.

As I pointed out, reading between some very conspicuous lines...the blossoming of a career student...if ever there was one! This was not about high-minded achievement or ambition to self improvement; it's about "doesn't want to commit" but does "dream" of "one day" living up to lost admiration. The Greeks had a personification of this kind of achievement by vainglorious reflection. It is the lot in life of the motherless son; but with self discipline and self mastery and self-knowledge, and the realization that there is no path to "have all and be all," it is a lot that can be overcome. Academia can be either the best, or the worst, place to overcome. Probably your OP writer realizes this...hence his present trepidation, albeit couched in "look at me (in my sincerity mask)" phrasing.

...here mba has a meaning very distinct from business; like: my being admirable.

Hard to say....sounds like you are career college student?? Yes? That will effect which school is best for you. Also, what countries can you consider for residency?

Hello Harjeet,

congratulations for your interest in developing yourself personally and searching for learning outside engineering to complement your formation.

European universities have a different formation called Master in Management, that is not so much oriented to finances as the American MBAs, and perhaps more according to continue a career in higher positions in an engineering oriented organization and tought in different languages.

I am mechanical engineer and I took and MBA where my engineering perspective changed dramatically. THere are numerous online MBA courses, most of them in English, I prefered to go back to class after 15 years and use the interaction with the professor and other students. Perhaps you can find an university in your country that teaches partially in your native tongue.

try the advise in this link: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/122f2d9a-8bd7-11dd-8a4c-0000779fd18c,dwp_uuid=8e5d1844-8a99-11dd-a76a-0000779fd18c.html

Good luck to you!

Seeing all posts by "GUESTS", I feel, we, regular users of CR4, should decide to just ignore the guests. These are coward people, who do not have guts to say openly, what they wish to say.

Don't you realize, that you have only made it a sure thing that all the quests will ignore gsuhas? Does it take engineering, or MBA degree to reason that one? Go figure.
