🙌🙌🙌QUESTION: Are you looking into pursuing an MBA? If so, what are your reasons? For those that have MBAs, did you feel like it helped your career advancement?
@@justforfun7855 Would not recommend. I wouldn't say that the MBA there would carry much weight at all with employers. Doesn't mean the content isn't good, it's just that if you're going to spend money for an MBA, it should be accredited and from a recognized brand. And the content in that course sounds like info you can get for far less money elsewhere.
Thanks for this video as it reinforces my case better..my highest qualification is a MSc in Control Systems in UK.. having said that if I split my professional experience which spans 10 years it's a blend of first half of 4.5 years in Engineering firms like Siemens,Johnson Controls and later 5.5 years in Management Consulting..I feel I am in the right place now with my holistic experience to provide better strategic business recommendations to Clients and especially to Category Managers who are from manufacturing which is Technically bound..so in essence (Technical + Management skills = Enables Perfect Value Add to Client Business) in my opinion 👍
Hi! Bachelor's degree doesn't have to be related. It depends how far from "business" you are in your career path. That said, most roles at most companies benefit from someone having a good understand of business because every role impacts the success of the company at some level. If an architect, for example, who has an understanding of business, might be more considerate of the cost implications of designing a building a certain way or with certain materials.
i was considering starting an project/process management mba with an automotive engineering b.sc in hand. had some doubt about my lack of business/management knowledge but an mba should give me a well rounded education i think 🤓
Hi Shannon - yes, that is definitely true. There are some companies (newer SaaS start-ups in particular) that don't seem to value MBAs much, and prefer pure work experience. For other companies, MBA is a minimum requirement (or "preferred") for many roles, so if you have an MBA, you'd ideally want to go somewhere it is valued.

What are your opinions/ thoughts on individuals pursuing an MBA when their bachelor's degree and career path is not business related (like at all)?

I'm seriously considering a MBA because I have aspiration to advance my career to being a project manager.
Best of luck!
Got an MBA 4 years ago. Best financial and career decision I made.
That's awesome! Glad to hear it. What role did you get after finishing your MBA, if you don't mind me asking?

Hah, thanks Omer! 😃
As someone finishing an MBA, it will help but your employer may not care. For this reason i hear about people going to other companies.

Mbas 4 the 80s. Out of style like offices.
Go tech/health licensure.
