Doing an MBA?

[AtW]

Has anyone undertaken this mammoth task?

No, I've got high standards and prefer fit ones, MBA is optional extra...

The plan for me is to move into a directors role within the business. I was on this path until recently. I dont want to stick around on geeky stuff for ever you know!

Then it might be for you, if you are worried about costs then the OU is the most affordable route.

As a Director let me give you a hint (not from my experience but I learn from others) that would make your Directorship long and prosperous - don't punch employees!

It sounds like you've got the interest and the future use so go for it. I really enjoyed it. Make sure you choose the course which is right for you and what you want to do in the future.

Be prepared for a tulipe load of work though!

Started one once on Open University and then transferred to MSc when the bulltulip became too much to take.

Hmm. An interesting (and may I say refreshing) take on MBAs...

I did a 3 day Benefits Management course there, nice campus (great for those who like aircraft) and in the middle of nowhere so less likely to get distracted. I've a friend who's doing his MBA there and there was a bit of a misunderstanding when I mentioned Cranfield - the MBAers don't realise that they do other courses as well...

I went to a party at his place at saw his group - he was the oldest in it, they were all young and ambitious...

There were two distinct groups on my MBA. The younger (starting at 24 FFS) group who were treating it as another year at uni and the older group who were doing it for the subject matter and the contacts. Partly that's because I did a full time course. Part time courses tend to be the older group mainly.
