Answer 1

work experiences are very valuable. work for several years first and see what tickles your fancy. Since you have a very general degree, i highly recommend you look into a more specific degree that suits your interests or your area of work (e.g. B. Engineering (chemical engineering). But work first, study later :) it will definitely help heaps more.


as for the MBA

One of my lecturer from the USA did a research for his Masters on the usefulness of an MBA degree. He told me this:

(1) MBA is a very very general degree, it fails to meet the needs of specific fields. it's only useful if you want to be the CEO/ senior management of a big company. It is only useful if you plan to manage something very general.

(2) too many people have MBAs so it is no longer valuable

(3) Having appropriate working experiences is significantly more valuable than an MBA


Good careers

health industry=
stable job+ excellent to good salary

(someone on this forum under the same 'Higher Education' column has mentioned most of the good health industry sectors. Or you could just throll through this excellent website: http://stats.bls.gov/home.htm

a good career as in earning big $$$$

A career earning $100,000 PLUS after four years of working experience

anything in the financial industry.
e.g. Bachelor of Commerce/Business (Finance, Financial planning, Finance and Accounting)
B. Science (Actuarial science)

some of the mining industries
e.g. B. Engineering (chemical Engineering)

the logistic industry
B. Commerce/business? (logistic and transportation studies?)

Networking with CISCO (computing studies)
e.g. B. Technology (network engineering)

A lawyer specialising in commercial law (4-5 years for a general law degree)

B. Medicine . B. Surgery
Dentistry pays alot. more than your GP.(5 or 6 years for a general degree). an Oral surgeon gets paid at least 200,000
England has a huge shortage of dentists and so does many parts of the world.

A specialists medical doctor gets paid alot too. i think a GP does gets paid $100,000 after four years of experience

A vet who looks after domestic animals or a famous racing horse will earn that much.

ULTIMATELY:
whatever you choose to specialise in, choose something you are passionate about or enjoy doing in the long run and something that will have a decent job prospect in the future.

I wish you well in your career hunt :)

Answer 2

The BBA should be useful, as you are learning a number of broad business skills. Your next step should be to spend some time working, to clarify what you really want to do before you move on for another degree. For example, if you take a job as a financial analyst, you may find that you are bored because you prefer interacting with people. A job may arise selling financial instruments for which you are qualified because of your financial background and your BBA, and you discover that you love sales. Then you could decide to go on for an MBA with a sales focus, or, as many salespeople find, you may realize that you don't need another degree at all. The same could happen in another field, and you could discover that an MS in some business function, or even a degree in science or the arts or a law degree would be most useful to you.

Answer 3

I advise you to go and work for few years before going and doing mba. This is business and not science where you need a lot of higher degrees. Experience counts even for MBA schools. Think about a career and get focused on the future rather than collecting degrees. It seems to me that you don't know what you want to do and you figured that you will do an MBA to help yourself.
