More Changes: The MBA

I've been shopping around for an MBA program. Being in Malaysia, there's an abundance of MBAs to choose from. Prices range from RM15,000 to RM44,000 (the highest so far being the University of Nottingham).

What do people look for in an MBA program?

Personally, I just want something to do! I graduated from RMIT with a degree in Communication Engineering. Having financed my education via a Petronas scholarship, I returned to Malaysia in 1998 to begin a 10-year bond with our national oil and gas company. Since then, I've been in the IT 'line' - from a short stint with in ERP, to maintaining our voice and data networks. After almost 5 years, I'm pretty much sick of technology. Hence, I began my search for an MBA program last year (yes, I've been slack). I applied and got accepted to Universiti Malaya - Malaysia's first university and my father's alma mater. Complications of life set in and I tried to defer - university policy states that I have to reapply (which sux since I would have to resubmit my GMAT scores).

So this year, I started fresh and found myself another fine-looking MBA - a marketing one from UPM. Let's see how this one goes.
