MBA, CPA, Law Degree; Is That Enough to Get the Job I Want?

 

What does it take to get a decent job in Corporate America at the Top of the food chain these days? Recently I met a bright up and coming young man in a city of about 250,000 and he was sitting there outside on the patio at the Starbucks Café and working on his laptop until they came to stack up all the tables. He was doing class assignments and we got to talking after that about his studies, ambitions and career goals.

It turns out he has a degree in business but wanted to go for another 38 units to get his MBA, but he also figured if he got an MBA with a strong financial background he might like to be a CPA. Interesting I thought, yes that indeed would put him up towards the top of the food chain indeed. We got to talking about another option to get a Law Degree and he said they were a dime a dozen like the MBAs and yet he felt that he was worried that someone else would end up with his dream job because they also had a Law Degree.

Wow, you know I later asked myself if it takes an MBA, CPA and Law Degree to Get the Job they want; then why not simply start your own company, build it up, go broke once and then do it again. Because basically you would be in the same spot with real life experience by then? Any way perhaps you might consider all this in 2006.
