I am certain that with an MBA in finance from a reputable institution like Terry College of Business, I will not encounter any difficulties securing employment in a top firm. This is more so the case given that as the college points out in its website, "our programs not only get you to the table-they keep you there" (Terry College of Business, 2013). For this reason, I am certain that having an MBA in finance from a top business school will jumpstart my career and shepherd it in the right direction.

There are a few key reasons why I want to return to school to earn an MBA. First and foremost, returning to school will be an excellent chance to expand my career opportunities. Currently I am an optometrist in the United States Army and I am the Chief of the Optometry Clinic at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. This is a great assignment, and I chose a rewarding career in optometry. I really do enjoy caring for patients and their vision. But I like having options. I currently manage a staff of sixteen, and they present me with more challenges on a daily basis than most of my patients do. After having had this management opportunity, I realize that I enjoy managing people and I like solving organizational problems. Earning an MBA will

By being educated properly at the graduate level, I will also have the power and qualification to pursue higher studies in my line of study or another related field which I might want to acquire expertise. With such credentials, it puts me on a higher professional pedal in an increasingly competitive job market. Higher education credential puts me at an advantage as far as securing a favorable employment and commanding a relatively higher compensation than other less educated job seekers. Some positions, for example, such as supervisory roles, management, and directorship in many agencies require that potential employees have a minimum of a masters degree, this further

As a Christian, you realize that success is more than just earning a lot of money or achieving a management position. Even if you are earning six figures right after graduation, this will not ultimately satisfy you. Your ultimate satisfaction will come from a life lived by integrity and honesty. A Christian MBA not only trains you in the practice of business excellence, but also emphasizes the principles of life excellence. At the end of the program, you have the tools that will earn you financial reward, but you will also be successful in the eyes of God -forever.

And I am already having the management experience of 6 years now. With 4 years of experience as a Head of the department, and that too with reputable aviation firm in South Africa.

In conclusion, by recognizing my values, principles and goals, I was able to have a picture of how long I can achieve my set objectives and more precisely how I go about in attaining it. With my MBA, I believe not only I can change certain things but also develop it into a higher success for a longer term effects. The shared practices within the forum, helped me to be more analytical and logic. Reading from my peers their diverse experience and goals, not only powered me to achieve more, open other types of companies, listen more, better creative ideas, but most importantly they give me the “determination” in achieving them

As a nontraditional undergraduate student, motivation for pursuing an MBA at UNK has always been an easy subject to explain. I grew up in a small farming community with neither parent ever having a college degree. My mom stayed at home with four kids so the primary model was how to be a good mom and wife. After attending Mid-Plains Community College, I received a degree in dental assisting, got married, had three girls, and stayed home to raise them in the same small town I grew up in. It was during this time that realized the potential influence I could have on my children. I wanted to prove to myself and my girls that you can be from a small town and be academically successful.

The knowledge gained would allow me the job growth in order to influence change and make a difference in the system in a meaningful and positive way. These changes would benefit all involved, especially the patients that put their faith in the healthcare team in their darkest hour. This change is what, professionally, I want to see in this specific sector of healthcare, and thus is the motivating factor in pursuing my MBA. Personally, this would further fulfill my desire to help those less fortunate than myself. By achieving these lofty aspirations, I would finally find solace and fulfillment in the fact that I have truly impacted the lives of others in such a positive manner. I have held the hands of men and looked upon their eyes as the last light fades, but the times that have struck me deeply are the times when their eyes were filled with regret, and I would regret not being able to achieve my aspirations, one of which is to gain my

I don’t mean to sound narcissistic, but it does sound a bit nice being able to say you have a graduate degree; without demeaning a Bachelors degree, of course. Aside from the money aspect, this decision affects my future and how I would be living it; either doing something I love or doing something minimal. There are many things that teach you and make you learn. I have learned things in and out of school. I know that having the best education in the world won’t teach you some things in life. But something that nobody will ever take away is my intellectual growth that I am sure to learn. I would be able to use that education to help me grow not just as a businesswoman but also as a

I understand that doing MBA is not an easy job; it requires lot of hard work. It is not simply learning theory and writing it in exam paper. In fact, it is a field that prepares you for the practical world of business. Therefore, I will have to do a lot more than simple learning; which will be going to different organizations for interviews, preparing thesis, designing marketing campaigns, doing internships and a lot more.

At the Introduction to PD workshop I identified two broad reasons why I decided to pursue my MBA. The first was to develop my competence as a manager. The second and more important reason was to advance my career by making myself more marketable. The job market today is undoubtedly very competitive and I realised that a first degree was not sufficient if I wanted to 'climb the corporate ladder'. It is hoped that this MBA would help me to take advantage of any future opportunities when they become available. My personal development journey thus far has quite
