What is the best salary for a fresh MBA/ Sales?

Applying for MBA without much work experiences?

  • Hi, I got my degree in business economics in 2010. After I've graduated, I didn't have much luck finding job. So I work as a retail sales for about a year. I'm thinking to further my education and considering UW MBA program. I emailed them and they said work experiences is not necessary to apply. Say, If I graduated from this MBA program, would I be better off in terms of finding a job with decent salary even tho I just didn't have much work experiences? thanks

  • Answer:

    I'm assuming that UW does not stand for University of Washington or University of Wisconsin. Washington's average MBA has 6.4 years of work experience, and Wisconsin's average is 4.8 years. Of course they'll tell you that work experience is not required (because that's true), but what they apparently didn't say is that they admit very few students without work experience. And that's a good thing. If you shopped around for a program that will easily admit applicants without work experience, I can almost guarantee you that that program isn't worth your time, effort, or tuition. Legit MBA programs that actually help their students get good jobs are hard to get into. Programs that are easy to get into will not improve your job hunting success. That said, if you CAN get into a selective full-time MBA program now, your odds of finding satisfying employment do increase, but you'll have it a lot tougher time than your classmates with work experience.

You have some work experience, although not a lot. MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree. Some accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience. But in those programs you don't get the benefit of learning from other students who have work experience. A lot of valuable learning takes place through class interaction. Also when you graduate your job offers will be about the same as a business undergraduate gets because you have no work experience, and you've been two years out of your undergraduate field so it's hard to get work in that area. Explore the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria.
