Career Advancement with a Career Degree

Archive for the ‘Career Advancement’ Category

I am a project manager with 5 years of work experience in the healthcare industry in Orange County, CA. I am looking for career advancement to hopefully be an executive one day. Should I get an MBA, and if so should I go full-time or part time? People say the network is important, but I see that you can network in both Full Time or Part Time. If I could find an exciting job and advancement without getting an MBA, I would consider that too. Let me know your thoughts or if you have any recommendations (MBA school, Job, etc.)

Right now I make more money than I ever have in my professional. I work for a major university. I have been offered another job at a more prestigious university but the pay would be about $7,000 less per year than what I make now. The overall benefits are similar. Both offer tuition remission for me and my children. Both have good health benefits that cost about the same. The differences are that I take public transportation to my current job, but in the new one I would have to drive–pay for gas and parking. The job I am in now has no room for advancement, and the hours are pretty much set. My work now is within the realm of my profession (editing) but not what I enjoy doing most (writing). The new job would offer a lot of flexibility. I could work from home sometimes or travel during nonpeak traffic times. It is also a writing job with tons of autonomy. I would make my own agenda. There is a possibility for growth since the institute at the campus is growing. What do you think?

As far as level of stress?
Hourly wage/Salary?
Promotions and advancement?
Any info would be great, thanks.

At 22, I have graduated and am about to take on a position as an administrative assistant with a company with great room for advancement. In my current organization, I’ve noticed that all the people with this title are those without degrees. However, entry-level (ish) opportunities are hard to come by in the field of marketing/PR (my field) and I feel like an administrative role is all I’m going to get for right now until I build more experience. If I spent a year or two doing this, would this look bad to potential employers down the road?

Also if you do, why are you primarily doing them? For enjoyment or for career advancement?

All the impositions that kids bring? No money, no free time, no privacy with husband/bf, no job or career advancement? Can all of you really say it was worth it to have a kid?

In terms of job satisfaction, compensation, stress, opportunity for advancement, and job difficulty?
