Cindy Said:

working in the Middle East with an MBA?

We Answered:

I don't know much about business in the Middle East. I do know, however, that if I were female, I'd carefully study how women are treated in any Middle Eastern country in which I plan to work. Some Middle Eastern countries are downright medieval when it comes to women.

Tiffany Said:

Which career should i opt?

We Answered:

i would suggest being an engineer. for the past 10 or so years, engineers have the highest starting salary out of college than any other profession! of the top 10 highest paying careers right out of college, 9 of them are engineering positions. the 10th is an IT position lol. so if you want money, engineering is REALLY the way to go. which field of engineering you go into, well, thats a decision only you can make. might i suggest petrolium engineering? Its currently in very high demand and pays the highest of all the engineers. if you want something more well rounded, try materials or mechanical engineer. these are more broad and would allow you to apply for a wider range of positions. if youre really into chemitry, chemical engineers are knowing for making top salaries.

another option is to start work after you get your BS. a lot of companies will pay for any further schooling that you might want. MBA programs are very popular and companies will usually pay for you to get your MBA! not a bad deal, right? the MBA is meant to be aimed at people wanting to be managers. all the top payed employees in any industry are very good at accounting. its allllllll about money management. so yes, an mba wont be directly related to a science degree, but thats not the point. the point is if you wanna become a top boss, you need the mba schooling. plus, a person cannot manage a company if they dont understand the basics. this is where your science degree will prove valuable.

i think youre thinking about it too much. i think you have a very good idea of what you want, but youre putting too much emphasis on weighing your options when you have zero real world experience. i think engineering sounds perfect for you. this is a very good starting point. get through a few years of that, get an internship or coop position. you will know where you wanna go from there, trust me. hope i was some help

Job application Question. Am looking for feedback on my answer?

We Answered:

hey j-- i think your letter is basically good and any comments here are just offered as a little support and development, not criticism,. in my own writing i have to watch out for my tendency to drag up too many long or supposedly sophisticated words which only make it sound like i am trying too hard to impress. no one really says "hence" in real life. im also thinkin that the bullet points you made with a dot might be a better read if they were actual full sentences like "I will have gained some work experience in a banking environment." finally this letter might be more memorable if were a bit more personal and a bit less long. the simple last paragraph is actually the one I like best and anything you might add about yourself as a unique person... your family, hopes and dreams or specific life experiences will make you stand out more in a big pile of applications But Id hire you, no question. Hang in and good luck.

Can anybody help me decide what career to choose?

We Answered:

Wow you are way to young to be thinking about that. When I was at school I wanted to be a doctor. When I left school at 17 and took 2 and a half years out to work I changed my mind completely. I have just achieved a Diploma in Business and I have decided I wouldn't want to do anything else. So do a few things, think it through. Because you never know, you might change your mind and regret your first decision.
