With plenty of choices to get your MBA degree in Saudi Arabia; the question facing young professionals is now why you should get an MBA?
1. It opens new doors for you
You’ll eventually focus on one field of work but your MBA program will offer you a variety of business classes to qualify you for working in various kinds of jobs should you decide to shift focus. The point is, it gives you the confidence to change your career path from management to business journalism to entrepreneurship if you feel like it.
Recruiters are often enthusiastic about hiring an MBA holder willing to change their career path especially if he or she comes from a great program and have learned a new set of skills they need.
2. You can do it besides your job
One important factor for full time professionals is time! And this is why MBA is a great chance for them; they don’t have to quit their jobs or work less (and naturally earn less!). MBA students can often have both: their job and their study going on at the same time.
Personally, I encourage working and studying when you want to get your MBA because they are much related and it would be useful for you to apply what you study directly at work.
3. It satisfies your thirst for continuous learning
I knew I wanted to pursue my higher education even before I completed my bachelor’s degree. If you have an unmatched thirst for knowledge and learning, I strongly recommend that you go for an MBA program. It’s the closest higher education degree to real world, and one that you will benefit from no matter how your career path looks like.
4. It helps you grow your business
You will study several areas of expertise such as accounting, finance and marketing and be introduced to global business cases. The knowledge you gain, practical or theoretical will be highly beneficial for growing your business if you already have one.
5. It helps you become an entrepreneur
No matter what your major is, if you want to become an entrepreneur, you sure need to get an MBA. It will teach you lots of things about your project and how to succeed through various courses such as strategic management, consumer behavior, financial management…etc
It will also sharpen your leadership skills and polishes your business personality by giving you the chance to present infront of a crowd and make a public speech.
