Why I Started the MBA

Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Amy Ka Ling Moore, Monday, 5 Nov 2012, 22:33

One MBA student wrote recently: ‘My initial thoughts (and I suppose first questions) are centred around trying to remember why I felt that I needed to undertake some form of MBA in the first place.’

Reflect on this quotation from your own point of view and note your reasons for starting an MBA in your learning journal for later use.

.....so here goes:

- to gain that competitive edge

- to learn how to be a great leader

- for the challenge

- to keep growing as an individual

- i've seen too many bad managers just blag their way to their positions, but they must be frightened that they will lose their position one day.  i'd like to develop into a good leader, and a good education will help achieve that.

- time for a new chapter, since i had that amazing experience working in california for 3 years, i moved back to the UK and haven't had an exciting challenge, so i'm ready for something new

- it would be a greater loss, to not do the mba

- i love the challenge so far, yes it's overwhelming but i love the commitment and it's so interesting already

- i will feel very proud when i graduate.  in fact i'm proud already.  just being on the course is great, although i am very scared of failing too.  but i aim to challenge that energy in the right direction and manage that addrenalin to keep me motivated to want to succeed.

- it will be exciting learning about business models, and developing my own.
