As I see it an MBA in finance can only add to your market value - no matter whether you choose to follow the finance or the IT line or choose to follow a line in between.

Banks, insurance companies, large cap companies and many many other companies needs people with a financial understanding and IT skill, and there is not that many of those.



A large number of top management people say that they first and foremost looks at results and personality and secondly on education. However, the finance and your IT education gives you credentials to pursue job opportunities in both areas. If you do financial project planning in your education you have a good opportunity to apply for jobs within project management within programming or network implementation. There is also the posibility of becomming manager with staff responsibility within network operations - and with time maybe more.



Education is one thing the more important is how you conduct yourself in your business life and how you administer your career choices. It might be worth reading a couple of books on the subject.



I think you should seriously think about your future career and decide what you wish to do in the future. I normally suggest that people set goals for what they wish to accomplish in their working lives, and then set a 5 year plan ahead. This plan then constantly needs to be updated because you change over time. The only thing you can be certain of when you make a choice, is that you will experience things and by experiencing you will change your view.



Final piece of advice....remember career planning is not about planning a life but about planning the time in your life you spend on work. All career planning should be based on your expectations to life....not the opposit.



Good luck

With any career planning - you need to find out what your strengths are and what you enjoy doing the most, then you develop a plan from there.



1. The business school you are in should be able to provide career counseling - find out what they can offer you. If the help is limited, then go on line to find some tools - like some tests you can take to find out your personality, working preferences, management style, career suggestions, etc. You may gain extra insights on the sides you didn't know you have before.



2. Take an inventory of all of the work you have done in the past, then compare them to your current work and the finance subjects that you are taking - find out which type of work you enjoy doing the most, then decide which direction you want to take.



3. If you are happy and competent in doing what you do best - people will notice and sometimes promotions come naturally. Every once in a while step back & review your career movement and re-evaulate where you are vs. where you want to be.



Good luck.

In my view,firstly,u mst consult atleast 10 persons who ar good in studies.But what's wrong in doing MBA,aft compeleting ur MBA.U can go in buisness or u can try for comp. engineering 'cause of ur graduation in comp. science.There is no loss for u in either ways,there is nothing to get puzzled in it.
