Well it's been about a month since I have last written. A lot has gone on in that time. My quest for higher education is now complete. I have been accepted at two great schools and have to make my decision by the end of the month.
Each school will give me a completely different experience. Both will be great but neither will be the same. MyMy experience at the MBA program will give me more insight into business knowledge and a better understanding of financial models and research tactics as they are intertwined into the marketing and branding world. Most of the classes will be those that I have already taken in my undergrad. For example: Economics, Acct, Finance, Marketing. My concern with this program is that my first year of school will be so dull and boring because I will not be learning anything about my new career field.
The other program that I am seriously considering is an Advertising program where I would concentrate in Creative Brand Management. This program is somewhat new, about 5 years old but in that time has made significant strides within the branding community. My experiences at this school will be like none I have ever had before. I will be thrown into the fire with creative people and learn how to execute creative briefs and marketing plans for real companies. It would be an intense two years but something that will keep me on my toes at all times.
I am planning to meet with alumni from both programs in the next week so that I can gain a better understanding of what each program has to offer and how it can help me in my career.
Anyway, today is the huge celebration for St. Patrick's day here in Chi so I better get ready!
