The Usefulness of MBA

Many students choose to pursue an MBA after graduating. Furthermore, in this time of crisis, many workers who have lost their jobs or fear arise if it is OK to strengthen your resume with an MBA. To what extent is a good idea

In the recent debate on the State of the Nation, shoemaker also discussed the proposal that is intended seventy million euro to pay a master to unemployed graduates between 25 and 40 years, announced as a guarantee for the future.

I've said on occasion that from my point of view the training offered at the University is too theoretical, it misses a greater relationship with the business community, both within the academic world, I wonder how it is possible to be five years doing Business, and not see ahead a bill or a delivery note-as in carrying out placements.

Many masters offer this possibility of internships in companies, which are already, from this point of view, interesting.

From the theoretical point of view, are also an important addition to the subjects in the degree, in the case of careers in economics, and an interesting concept learning various university for those who had not opted for this branch and thus learn many valid questions for the "real world", since they are financial, marketing, cost accounting, taxation, strategy, etc..

In addition, certain job they ask as a prerequisite, and in some cases also require to be a prestigious business school.

All this, as to the advantages and positive features. However, there are also some negative aspects to be taken into account.

There are some who believe that the international executive MBA is insufficient, and value more professional experience can be demonstrated for a particular position. That is, it must not be seen as the panacea to allow access per se to certain posts.

On the other hand, have a high cost, which in some cases can even justify the level of teachers and prestige you may have, but in any case means a huge financial outlay.

And the most important drawback they have, from my point of view, is precisely that the requirement to have an MBA to be imposed for certain jobs means that many students are released to do it just to "have it", and not to acquire new knowledge really and skills, so that their usefulness is quite limited, and is also detrimental to the perception people have of these courses (for I know X, who has an MBA, and has no idea!)

So in my opinion are useful as a complement to a better understanding of business and as a connection with the business, but if you win and are performed with the intention to learn and take advantage of them.
