Master Degree
Many people have tried to talk me into doing a second degree, be it an MBA, Master in Finance, etc. I am yet to be convinced. My reasons (very personal) are as follows:
i) I don't see the need, esp in my career development
ii) I don't have the money (opportunity cost) and time to do a full-time. And I don't think a part-time one is useful.
iii) I don't have the money to go overseas, and I don't like the local ones because of the quality of my classmates. Forgive me for saying this, local classmates tend to be of lower quality because most of them just want to get the degree, and if I really want to do the degree, I want to learn something - I would be very serious. And I would become very frustrated if my classmates do not give their 110% to the course assignments.
iv) I already have some knowledge of different industries through meeting the owners of many companies. The value added of doing an MBA, namely, knowing more people from different industries and acquire more overview knowledge from them, diminished.
Any thoughts?
