Does It Matter Where You Get Your MBA From?
One of the most commonly debated issues when it comes to discussing the MBA or Masters in Business Administration Degree is whether it really matters where you get your degree from. There are a variety of opinions on the issue and generally the arguments about the issue revolve around the importance of three factors: Location, Reputation and Convenience. In this article I will explore what the competing sides to this debate are and how you should make your decision. Like many things in life, the truth is the answer as to whether it matters where you get your MBA can be summed up in those two poignant words: It depends.
Reputation
Traditionally, MBA schools fell into two general categories. There were the top 10-15 schools that were the cream of the crop and then all the others. The top schools included many Ivy League stalwarts such as Harvard, Wharton, Columbia, Berkeley and Princeton among others. It also included top notch business programs that frequently topped the list along with the Ivy crowd such as Northwestern’s Kellogg School and Stanford University.
The reputation of these schools is so stellar and the alumni networks so powerful that both top Wall Street Investment Banks as well as top tier household corporations recruit students directly out of these programs. In years past it would not be uncommon for a graduate of a top MBA program to have his pick of several 6 figure job opportunities with lucrative hiring bonuses and incentives right out of school. Whether located on the west coast, east coast or somewhere in the middle, the sheer reputation and pedigree of an MBA from these top schools has launched thousands of powerful careers.
Location
For those that either can’t gain acceptance or that prefer to choose a school that might cater more to a particular industry or area where location is a consideration there is a competing philosophy of choosing MBA programs. Especially in these tough economic times when traditional MBA Wall Street jobs are not as plentiful, many students are targeting their careers toward certain non-traditional MBA niches such as the environment, hi-tech startups or government work.
For this reason it might make sense to attend a school in the northern California area for instance if one was interested in pursuing work in one of the local high tech companies. Many environmental companies such as wind and solar energy ventures are based in the mid-west which might hire more from those schools that are local. Even those that are pursuing traditional jobs on Wall Street might find it beneficial to be in or around New York City in order to take advantage of internships and networking opportunities with New York firms that they would not have the opportunity to do if they were located in a different part of the country or far away.
There is also the legitimate argument that one of the biggest assets that an MBA program gets you is both the internships and alumni network. For those looking to live in a particular part of the country, attending and MBA program with strong regional and local connections makes sense and can provide great resources and connections in that area that attending a more highly rated, but less connected school could provide.
Convenience
Finally, the last category I’ll discuss has to do with convenience. The biggest beneficiary of this argument is no doubt the emerging and growing trend of obtaining your MBA via an Online or Distance Learning Program. While few of these programs can compete with the prestige of a traditional bricks and mortar in-person school, many provide much of the same core curriculum as well as numerous electives. While networking and internship opportunities will most likely pale in comparison to traditional schools if they exist at all, for working professionals that already have an established network this might be a requirement or of limited value.
Additionally, those pursuing the MBA purely for academic reasons to obtain knowledge, the credential or even some entrepreneurs that have a clear cut business plan they simply want to develop more while in school, the convenience factor of Online MBA programs can’t be matched. And then of course there’s the dramatic cost savings that an Online MBA can provide compared to a traditional school. Because every student’s situation is different, it is important to think through your own particular goals and career plans. It should quickly become clear whether it matters where you get your MBA from.

Is MBA Worth The Money Spent On It?
According to a recent study in Stanford University, “an MBA may be nothing more than an expensive piece of paper”. Although very bluntly stated, this statement throws some very valuable insight into the present mentality of the masses worldwide. Flocking into B-schools seems to be the “in” thing now, with no second thoughts given to the investment made, in terms of bundles of cash and reams of time. How else can one explain the hike in MBA enrollment, from a measly 5,000 in 1960, to more than 100,000 MBAs in the year 2000? There are a few factors which can be used to consider the Return on Investment on an MBA degree. Firstly, the cash to be doled out in the form of full up-front investment, which includes not only tuition, but also food, lodging, books, travel costs etc. In terms of time, a major consideration is the number of years invested by an individual which one can commit to a “cash outflow” before the pay-checks start coming in again. Most business schools offer a traditional two-year program, while executive programs consist of just a year intensive course of study. Looking into the choice of institutes, it makes more sense to choose a Harvard or a London Business School over an IIM Ahmadabad. This is mostly because of the exposure and the contacts available at the colleges abroad, crucial to one’s movement up the corporate ladder. Looking at the end results, we can point out that an MBA surely opens doors for us, which would have been impossible otherwise. With starting 6 figure salaries, to long-term incentives (like shares, options etc. ), firms leave no leaf unturned to keep the MBAs close by. According to recent figures, an MBA fetches compensation figures, almost twice than a normal Bachelors degree. This gap keeps on widening until the retirement age of the individual, after which it dips slightly. In the recent past, the peak net value of an MBA has been estimated a whooping $700,000 annually. This figure can easily cover all the expenses drawn on the education, along with giving a handsome return. However, these figures vary according to one’s field of employment, wherein private sectors pay more than their Government counterparts. Also, factors like job location have to be kept in mind; major cities like New York, Paris etc. have higher base salaries than rural areas. Competition in the workplace, current economic conditions etc. also play a crucial role. So, the bottom line is that while an MBA is useful for future success, it is not necessarily a prerequisite. Every individual needs to chalk out one’s own career plan, and then decide how much value an MBA can add to that process. That being said, there are still a lot of Executive MBA programs, which help people concentrate on their career, while concurrently building new skills. So that’s it. The answer to the million dollar question, “Is an MBA worth it?” is “Maybe. ”

PACE and Full Circle Fund Host Teacher Pay Conferences

xml:lang=”en” lang=”en” xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml”>
PACE and Full Circle Fund Host Teacher Pay Conferences
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 2, 2009
New ways of compensating teachers in an era of ferocious budget shortfalls were the topic of discussion for about 400 school superintendents, leaders of teacher organizations and school board members from across California at conferences Monday and Tuesday (March 30-31) in Oakland and Los Angeles.
The programs were in response to encouragement from President Barack Obama and U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan for educators to experiment with new ways to pay teachers, and to a wide range of experimental approaches already being implemented – such as a recent voter-approved parcel tax in San Francisco to fund innovations in teacher compensation.
The events were organized by Full Circle Fund, an engaged philanthropy organization in the San Francisco Bay Area and by Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE), a nonpartisan and independent research center based at the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Southern California (USC) and Stanford University.
“The goal of the conference was to provide school districts and local unions with solid information and shared understanding about what’s happening in compensation policy across the country, and what’s possible in California,” said David Plank, executive director of PACE. “Many districts are sending teams that include both administrators and union officials. These local leaders are ready to begin a conversation about how teachers are paid and how we might pay them differently, and this conference can help them get started.”
In an address before the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce on March 10, President Obama applauded teachers and noted the importance of their preparation and retention. He said that’s why his administration supports “creating new pathways to teaching and new incentives to bring teachers to schools where they’re needed most. That’s why we support offering extra pay to Americans who teach math and science to end a teacher shortage in those subjects.”
The recently passed economic stimulus bill includes $ 200 million to fund innovative pay plans in up to 150 school districts across the country, via the Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF). “California is rightly known as a center of innovation in many fields,” said Jeff Camp, who heads up the Education Circle at Full Circle Fund, “but we’re way behind the curve on teacher pay. The new TIF money gives California a chance to take the lead on this critical issue.”
“The potential benefits from this kind of innovation are huge,” said Andy Ball, president and CEO of Webcor Builders, and head of the Education Committee at the Bay Area Council. “California businesses and other taxpayers should strongly support districts that innovate by directing additional pay to the teachers that can make the biggest difference for kids.”
Some of the conferences’ speakers were:
–Brad Jupp, senior policy advisor for Denver Public Schools and a leader in labor-management negotiations that led to adoption of a pay-for-performance system for Denver teachers
–Representatives of school districts participating in the Teacher Advancement Program, which enables teachers to become a master or mentor teacher in order to earn higher salaries and advance professionally
–Dan Katzir from the Broad Foundation, who will speak about philanthropic support for new thinking about teacher pay
–San Francisco Unified School District Superintendent Carlos Garcia and United Educators of San Francisco President Dennis Kelly, talking about a recently approved parcel tax that will fund innovations in teacher compensation
Others in attendance at the conferences included Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Ray Cortines, California Sen. Gloria Romero (D-East Los Angeles) and a representative of the U.S. Department of Education.
The Oakland conference was held on Monday (March 30) from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Marriot City Center, 1001 Broadway. The Los Angeles program was on Tuesday (March 31) from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the USC Davidson Executive Conference Center, 3415 S. Figueroa St.
More details about the events and the sponsoring organizations are available on the PACE and Full Circle Fund web sites at:
PACE website: http://pace.berkeley.edu/teacherpay
Full Circle Fund website: http://www.fullcirclefund.org
The conferences were co-sponsored by teachers unions, professional associations, and business organizations around the state including the Association of California School Administrators, Bay Area Council, California Federation of Teachers, California School Board Association, California Teachers Association, San Diego Chamber of Commerce, Silicon Valley Leadership Group and Unite-LA.
Financial support for the programs comes from the Noyce Foundation and the Stuart Foundation.
