Don't get bamboozled by the title of this post as this is not about the very famous and talented Lady Gaga. Though I find no reasons why I cannot blog about her and her so called extraordinary marketing management style (someother post might be on that someday). This is my top pick for the attire which GaGa put on recently.
Anyways, another big reason to delay my MBA journey was a decision that I need to make about the type of MBA I would like to go for - full time or part time. After taking into consideration all the factors, I have decided to go for the part time MBA. One thing is for sure, I would not like to quit my job, take a 100K+ loan and go for the full time MBA. I mean there are lots of individuals who can do that pretty easily but not me. In this economic quagmire I am not ready to quit the job, feed the family, take the loan and study peacefully. I did all the possible calculations and reached this decision (against my wife's willingness) to opt for the part time program for various reasons.
One such reason (I guess one of the biggest) is that I would like to earn the MBA while earning my living. It will require lots of efforts from my end as I need to balance my current job, I need to be on top of MBA curriculum and need to give ample amount of time to my wife & kids as well. I am ready to take this challenge, as it will primarily test my time management skills in the real time environment. Taking into consideration my past records I can conclude that I am a good (not very good) time manager, but this will be an out an out very-very complicated and engrossing time management project and I am all set for it.
Is PT the new face for the MBA education? Well it is fairly difficult to predict at this moment but I don’t see why this cannot happen. I mean the way things are turning up with this economy and the jobs who know what might happen in the coming years. One thing is for sure, there are many more who are thinking like me to go for the PT and that is the reason why PT is getting so much attention these days. One recent pretty good article which I read in BW talks about PT MBA and their expectations. This is not to be missed if you have decided to go for the PT.
