I personally against MBA and ideally, one should do specialisation in one topic and then do the MBA. Please note that MBA from the tier 1 university always been ahead from others and at the same time MBA from other univ is as bad as studying in 3rd world univ. I would say that try to get into top tier univ and do your mba. it will pay you off. you can select the univ with your own ranking. and that ranking should include; 1. your personal preference 2. reputation 3. return on investment 4. student-teacher ratio 5. salary increment after graduation blah blah... best of luck

I would recommend getting your MBA. It will give you more opportunities once you have completed your degree and it will give you a better chance of getting a higher position. There are also programs out there that allow you to get your MBA in a little over a year. It called an amMBA. I just went through the same search process and found a good program. http://www.adelphi.edu/manhattan/business.php

We get this question a lot. In one of our podcasts, we actually interviewed some faculty at some of the top business schools on what they would suggest. Here's a quick description of what the podcast is about: Like anything else in life, there isn’t a single road to a career in Business and Finance. Getting a Master’s in Finance or Economics is, of course, one way; getting an MBA is another. Fiona Sandford is Director of Career Services at the London School of Economics and Political Science. She says the MBA track or the Master’s in Science track can lead to the same career but using different approaches. “The traditional MBA course exposes you to a wide range of management disciplines, and gives you a way of thinking about management and a career in that area. An MSc in Finance or an MSc in Economics gives you a very rigorous academic approach to finance disciplines or to economics. But it doesn’t, by any stretch of the imagination, preclude you from going on to developing a career in Management as many students do. So I think it depends on individual learning styles.” Listen to the full interview at http://www.mbapodcaster.com/MBA_MoreInfo/MBAvMSF.asp?iEpisode=12. We also have another podcast that will help you understand what to expect from an MBA with a concentration in accounting: http://www.mbapodcaster.com/MBA_MoreInfo/PartIIIVariousMBATracks.asp?iEpisode=43 Good luck! -MBA Podcaster

From the 3 universities, it's definitely Curtin University for me. I can't say for sure how good is the quality of their finance master degree. But I heard their MBA is one of the best in Australia, and Curtin is famous for their commerce degree (both undergradute and postgraduate). Consider which city you like, the tuition fees, living expenses, and also course structure. have you consider UNSW, Macquire Uni, University of Melbourne into your list? they are good uni too. are you planning to work in Aus? if yes, I think it's worth it. hope this help

I am studying a master in Finance but I studied Media before. Now I work in finance and its very hard. Tips

I am studying a master in Finance but I studied Media before. Now I work in finance and its very hard. Tips?
I am finishing my Master in Finance. The problem with my Master Degree was that it was always very advanced and we skipped basics, fundamentals which I lack. I didnt find a decent job a Media, and now I am doing internships in Finance. Everyone perceives my lack of knowledge. I have always been the smart one, and now people dont consider me for good options. And I am not feeling happy because the master happened so fast, and I have a lot to study by myself. And I feel so bad that I dont understand because nobody explained it before and at this rate when I finish I will find a crappy job in finance because of lack of understanding. I know I have to study hard. I am getting tired, I dont have enough time for my life anymore, and I want to mix media with finance because media is my true passion and I will take a few years trying to be good at finance so I can have that option of mixing both worlds. I am very anxious because I need time, and I dont have money anymore. I dont have any option but finance.

1-breath. Slow down and breath. Not to make a comparison I was working full time, doing my MBA in Finance & Marketing while starting a business. It is very stressful and takes a lot out of you. If you do not enjoy what you are studying it is a lot harder. If you really want to learn finance, take your time, you do not have many options to catch up, maybe take some basic classes and take a little longer for your masters, or do what you are doing, study on your own. Use the resources at the school, talk to your professors, let them know you want some help w/ basics because of your background, most of the time they will recommend books and exercises to bring you up to speed. You want the pay-off and you clearly know it will take a few years, you are now paying your dues, giving up your life now for a career and life later, when it is too much think of the final goal and result, mixing media w/ finance . Just give it your all, manage your time, make time for yourself no matter what. Keep chipping at it and before you know it it will be over. Best of Luck
