Expert: Leo Lingham - 3/19/2009

Question
after many collections of opinions , I found that MBA is just useful for supporting career situation , it ll be not valuable in entry level , so I decide the following , please let me know your opinion whether

1- working to find internship or entry level position in an engineering consulting service company then after awhile decide whether I need MBA or not

or

2- working in any telecoms or IT company in such positions like (contract engineer - purchase engineer - tender engineer - procurement engineer) in this case I ll be under control of project manager then after awhile I ll do an MBA in project managing

so whats your opinion ? please comment

Answer
AOB,
BOTH   ARE  FEASIBLE.
BOTH  NEEDS  THAT  EXTRA  EFFORT, TO  MEET  / STAY  CLOSE
TO  YOUR  CAREER  PATH.

TO  MAKE  RAPID  PROGRESS  IN  CAREER,
-YOU  NEED  EXPERIENCE.
-YOU  NEED  TO  UPGRADE  YOUR  KNOWLEDGE,
NOT  JUST  FOR  CURRENT  JOB, BUT  FOR  THE FUTURE  AS  WELL.

IN   THE  FIRST  CASE,
-as  a  junior ,  there  is  a  good  chance  of   learning  faster,
as   the  opportunity  for  ‘’multi-skilling’’  are  greater.

This  is  because in engineering  consulting  there  will be  varieties
Of  jobs  over  a  period  of  time.

IN  THE  SECOND  CASE,
-once  you  get  a  position  like,say,  procurement  enginner,
you  must  keep  alert / learn  other  areas  like  contract  etc
to  move  up   the  career  ladder.

IN BOTH  CASES, I  WOULD SUGGEST  GO  FOR  
‘’ MBA’’ , IT  WILL   ASSURE   YOU  A  GOOD  CAREER.

GOOD LUCK ,
REGARDS
LEO LINGHAM
