Which is better a MBA in Project Management or go for a (MPM) Masters in Project Management degree

Which is better a MBA in Project Management or go for a (MPM) Masters in Project Management degree?
I am currently enrolled in a PMI recognized school and working towards my MBA in Project Management however im not a big fan of accounting. So im just wondering if the MPM degree is more limiting in terms finding a job versus the MBA.

Look at http://officialmbaguide.org. There is no such MBA. Universities don't grant MBA in information systems, or MBA in finance, or MBA in marketing. MBA means Master in Business Administration. The MBA is a general degree preparing students for management positions in any level of a business, up to CEO. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, management, statistics, economics, strategy, policy, and other courses. Many MBA programs offer concentrations in these and many other fields, but that amounts to only 2-3 courses in your chosen field in the second year of study. Many students avoid a concentration and take a variety of elective subjects to gain a broader background. By the time you finish the first year you'll be able to decide which concentration interests you. You don't become a specialist in a field with 2-3 courses. It generally takes a year of concentrated study. That does not mean you could not earn the PMP designation after an MBA with a project management concentration. It is a tough 4-hour test but it can be done. The MBA is not like an MS degree that concentrates study in a single field and prepares students for high level staff or research positions. The MS typically requires an undergraduate education in the field in which you want the MS, or a closely related field. A finance major does not get an MS in chemistry, and a biology major does not get an MS in accounting. If you want to specialize in a particular field other than business administration, such as finance, marketing, operations management, human resource management, or a non-business field such as public health, or public administration, you should get an MS degree in that specialization. MBA programs accept students in any undergraduate field. They prefer students who do not have a business background because they give you the business training but they cannot provide the broad background that managers should have. I have taught MBA students with degrees in Music, Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Psychology, Political Science, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, and many other fields. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree, but many accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience. MBAs with good grades are in high demand and they command good starting salaries. The Official MBA Guide provides a lot of information about the MBA degree and MBA schools and programs. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.

Getting into the medical management field with a general business management degree?

I was wondering though that once I obtain my associate's degree if I would be able to get into entry level management at a health care facility while I either obtain my bachelors in general business administration, or health services administration.

How will I make use of a Marketing/Management degree if there are so much competition out there

How will I make use of a Marketing/Management degree if there are so much competition out there?
Because there are so many people out there that are majoring either in Marketing or Management, it's so hard to stand out or differentiate yourself from others. The worst part is that there aren't any reassurance that you'll get the job you want after you get your degree. Now it's either you stand out or let them eat you alive. Is it true that people with a Management degree have more of a variety of jobs to choose from and are more flexible because it's a broad field, and people with a Marketing degree are stuck with jobs only pertaining to the Marketing field and are less flexible? At first I wanted to major in IT, but then I felt like my chances of breaking into that industry is very slim because of comments about a lot of jobs being offshored and plus I'm very much a beginner, which makes me ignorant about the industry. Today companies look for IT people with a lot of experience with computers, which I certainly don't have. I'm confused about whether I should major in Mktg or Mgmt.

hello there buddy... i see that you are having a hard time in choosing what degree to choose so that after you graduate you will have a job, the answer there is simple, in choosing the degree that you want, know first what you want, try to examine yourself first, try to ask open ended questions like where am i good at? do i like doing this? am i satisfied with what i am doing? before you come up with a decision, this questions surely helps... I have been working for a year now and to tell you honestly, its not "landing a job" that you should think, but "what would be your career goals" after you land a job, if you are thinking of my first predicament, well we working here in a company thinks on what will happen on our careers, we often asking ourselves "am i going to do this stuff for the rest of my life?" Having a job is only a objective but it is not your main goal... try to re-focus your concerns.... I can see that you will have a good career in any field that you want as long you are dedicated, committed, discipline and hardwork...Good Luck and Best Wishes pal!

I have a degree in Marketing and have worked in at least 2 marketing agencies. But from my experience, turnover is high because a lot of agencies lose clients after one project, so already I've been laid off twice. I also notice that many marketing agencies hire interns and recent college grads. There's not a lot of older professionals in a marketing agency, giving me the impression that they only want young people for cheap labor and they eventually lay off employees when they get more expensive.

It taught me to see human beings as a resource. Now I can look upon them as tools of industry and business without having to acknowledge their humanity.

That's my major, and you are right...you'll earn more with a degree in it. For you, already having managerial experience is a huge plus. That combined with your degree, you should have no problem finding a management position. As for what kind of jobs are out there for management majors, there are tons of them! That's the biggest reason I chose this as my major. I would either like to go into hotel management or open my own business, not quite sure yet! But good luck in whatever you decide to do!!! Here's a website that lists some jobs you get with this degree.

Depends where you get the degree from. If it's from Wharton, MIT or Stern like schools, they will huant you down for executive positions. If it's from average state U, those grads are usually called waiter,

I understand why people ask what kinds of jobs they can get with degrees like history or Philosophy. But I don't understand why they ask what kinds of jobs they can get with a degree in Business Management. Isn't it kind of obvious from the name? It is even more obvious if you specialize in one of the concentrations. Accounting majors get jobs in accounting. Finance majors get jobs in finance. Marketing majors get jobs in marketing. Operations management majors get jobs in operations. Strategy majors get jobs in strategic development or in management consulting. Do you really not understand this?

Do the business degree then a Masters in HRM eg http://business.fiu.edu/chapman/master_of_science_in_hrm.cfm You will get a higher starting salary and have better career prospects. Use the money you saved by going to a CC first to pay for it. In fact admission to such programs requires a degree in anything. So suit yourself about what you study. That is one of the advantages of doing a Masters - your undergrad is often more liberal. Thanks Bill

You are rewarded in the management field by your ability to produce results. A good education doesn't hurt. A master's degree is impressive, especially when you're just starting out and don't have job experience. But once you get the job, only your results will determine how lucrative the field is for you. Once you're hired, nobody cares about your education; only "what can yo do for me today". Either you're a strong leader and critical thinker or you aren't. It's much easier to get a degree in school than to be a financial success in the job force.

That doesn't mean that they're the only place you can go though. If you have a specific career dream, try working it part time, doing an internship, or freelancing in it after hours.

You should be fine just getting a DipEd (that's what I plan on doing after my psych degree). Otherwise you may be able to apply to the education department to get a limited authority to teach registration. Stu :-) http://www.stuartguthrie.com

You don't need a degree in education, but you do need to obtain your license. Your best bet at this point is to contact your local department of education (usually you can find them with a search engine) and find out the local requirements of certification. Chances are you will need to take the teacher test in a subject area to get licensure, also at some point you will need to become "highly qualified" as determined by the NCLB act. This means you have gone through a program, which you can often do after you are hired and working. But again, you need to get in touch with someone at the state DOE to find out what you need to do. Good luck!

Degree requirements vary according to where you want to teach. The best way to find out is to search for "teacher certification" or "teacher requirements" plus the name of the state or city where you live. For example, I live in New York State, so I'd search for teacher certification + New York. The University of Kentucky's web site links to requirements for all 50 US states. If you are not in the US, you do the same kind of search using the name of a country. One link below is for the UK.

I would check out Working Mother Magazine.. Every year they list off the best 100 companies for working mothers. While I understand at 23 you probably are not a mom yet, you may very well want to become one in the future, so you shoudl check out the companies that will allow you to be both a professional Super Star and a soccer mom. Also - check into recruiting companies. A good recruiter in the area will know which companies are looking for Minority applicants, and which one's are not. At this point just make sure if you get a job you dedicate 3 years to it - you do not want to be a job jumper. Good luck to you.


2
Most of the companies you mentioned will be looking for experience along with your degree. I would advise you check into internship programs at some companies; you might have to start off with a beginners position to prove yourself and work your way up from there. Be confident when you interview; let them know what you can bring to their company. If they say you don't have enough experience; you could say, "that might work to your advantage. Since I don't have much experience anything learned from your company will be done how you want it; not how I learned it somewhere else....." Something like that just might get you in the door. Good luck to you.


3
The Working Mother Magazine survey has just been updated, so I would definitely check that out. As an aside, I think that you should take some time to think about what you want to DO with your career and life. "Business Administration" is not a career, nor is it a proper goal. What motivates you? What gets you out of bed in the morning without an alarm clock? Investing the time to answer those questions will pay back big dividends down the road. Do you like talking with people and selling things? Try the big drug companies, like Pfizer or Astra-Zeneca. A personable, motivated college grad can earn $50,000+ right out of college. They hire a lot of women as well. If you are into finance or investing (and selling), you can join one of many financial advisor programs, such as Merrill Lynch or Edward Jones. Do you like marketing or product development? Try Procter and Gamble. They have a great college hiring system and promote from within. Capital One is also a great place to learn marketing. The company also has a strong effort to promote diversity in hiring. Do you like more operational type jobs? Try retailers like Target or Nordstrom. Just choosing "a great company with benefits" won't get you very far if you don't have an interest in what that company does. The book, "What color is Your Parachute" could help you with these issues as well.

He'd be far more interested in your experience. HR Management isn't an entry-level job, degree or not. The real key will be to collect some real-world HR experience either through a part-time job or an internship. You're also likely to find that most HR folks don't have an undergrad degree in HR. They either worked up from support functions or came to business from the social sciences.
