get my MBA

Org. Behaviour seemed to go OK. Finance was hard. I just wasn’t prepared enough. I may eek this one out, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I didn’t. That would be a major OUCH.

My own fault though. I really spent most of my study time on OB and just let Finance falter by the way.

We’ll see how it goes.

but still way behind. Testing is June 5th and June 7th. It’s back to studying after I write this entry!!

Several more hours spent on it this last week. About 1/2 way through the coursework. I need to finish it this week in order to have enough time for the finance course work. Need to really crack down on it.

I’m going to work hard to finish the first course by mid month. Then immerse myself in completing the second. It’s going to take some work to go into the testing feeling ready.

Have signed up for the test in June – will be completing Finance and Organizational Behavior then. Will choose the next 2 courses after that. This definitely is one of those slow but steady goals.

After paying $100 to Kinko’s to get the PDF versions printed up. Finished two chapters of Finance, and one of Organizational Behaviour. I think I’ll be signing up in September to take the December exams.

About $3000 invested in this already – can’t afford to waste it.

Approved, registered, paid for first 2 courses. Now time to study, will take exams in December. Won’t see much progress on this until then. Slow but steady…

I’ve already done my investigation. I’m going to do the Distance Learning MBA with Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. My work will pay for up to $5000 a year. I need to get approval from my manager this week, and order my first 3 courses. I will see how difficult they are. I’d like to take the exams for all 3 this December.

My Goal, short term is to get the approval from my manager, fill out the tuition reimbursement paperwork, and order my first 3 courses. I’m not sure but I’m leaning towards: Finance, Economics, and Accounting.
