How an MBA degree will help me?

[soumya]

Hello Everybody,

I've just got the Bachelor degree in the field of optometry from India. And to be very frank to you, optometry has still to develop a lot. It is still in its childhood. So, i just want to ask you what are the career opportunities I might get after this. One more thing I really like to know from you is how an MBA degree will help me in my career. Should I go for a full time course or part time? Please help me to choose my next step in my career.
Thanks

Soumya

Hello from Charisse and I matters!
We are an ophthalmic recruiter not only in the USA but we do placements internationally.
I have 25 years in the business, optician, technician and an MBA myself (with a core concentration in international management) so I can answer these questions.
First: you will need to get a work permit to come into the US
it may make more sense to go the canada route first since getting into the US is a little more difficult, especially with the elections coming.
second: MBA's are great, they can show you the "big picture" of business, instead of the "what is in it for me" aspect of most employees.

third: what would your goals be if you got a degree? if you are not published, you will not get a research or admin job. personally, i would suggest you consider COMT school, use your optometry background or go on to become a PA... both will pay you better than just an MBA..
feel free to contact me with any questions or ideas!
