Online MBA Gave Me Income Boosting Advantages

Interested in an MBA? An MBA, or “Masters of Business Administration” is a master’s degree that can help you master the various aspects of business, and very often will give you an advantage in getting any job search or job promotion. If an MBA interests you, the best thing is to learn what the degree can do for you, and which school is best to meet your objectives.

You can really move your career forward by getting an MBA degree. One of the fastest and most convenient ways to get your degree is by taking an online MBA degree. The convenience is really unbeatable - there is no travel, no classes to attend, and almost everything can be done from your home. The way the online MBA classes are held vary by school, but many of them give you an experience almost as good as the intense full time MBA programs.

One wonderful advantage of an online MBA versus a part-time MBA is the speed in which you can finish. With an online MBA, you can almost always complete the program in 2 years or less, while many part-time MBA programs require 3 years or more to complete the program. Since no one checks how you got your MBA until an interview, your resume will never say anything about the fast convenient way you got your degree.

Before you rush off to sign up to get that MBA online, you should check to make sure your school of choice is accredited, so you can be sure your degree will be acknowledged by employers and the government. If your school lacks accreditation, you will not be able to apply for loans or scholarships. To check if the school is accredited, ask to talk to a representative for the online MBA program, and ask about assistance they offer for loans and bursaries, and a list of credentials the business school has.

An MBA can really propel your career ahead because it gives you solid business training. Some industries value the MBA higher than others, and this is especially true in these markets:

marketing and market research companies

accounting and consulting companies

process re-engineering activities

A great many companies will view your MBA degree as a sign of a serious focused applicant who can make a significant impact.

Getting an MBA will also boost your income, since research shows that the MBA credential adds between $12,000 and $28,000 to income, depending on the field worked in, and the location of employment.

If your next career step involves an MBA, getting your MBA degree online is clearly the convenient, economical way to get the degree under your belt. Since I have done mine, I should also tell you a little known fact about MBA graduates. Over 52% of all MBA graduates are fired or quit within 2 years of their graduation. It seems the MBA changes people, and it usually means the new MBA graduate needs to find a new place to work - often to the benefit of the graduate!
