Okay. Continuing on with our topic of do
you need a business degree
we identified two value propositions of
business school, one being
knowledge acquisition or learning and
the other being career development or
the creation of
potential career opportunities. In a
prior video we
address the aspect of learning, in this
video we're going to
address the aspect of career
opportunities. Because
rightfully so many people look at
business school
as primarily a launching pad for a
particular career field or path
and it being more so as a aid
in career development than anything else
even more so
than knowledge acquisition, okay, and
business schools are
unique in that fashion they are focused
heavily upon uh post career
or postgraduate graduation results,
in terms of employment, going to graduate
school, starting salaries,
bonuses areas of employment impact of
the student, all of those things are
major importance to the business school
not only for their rankings and
reputation but also
because it's built into the core aspect
of business, right, the idea
of going out and being successful
growing something that type of thing.
So there are tons of career opportunity
aspects of going to business school that
are very difficult to
replicate elsewher. The learning aspect
far more
capable of being replicated through
other aspects or sources.
So in a separate video we talked to you
about the aspect of
what it takes to create or generate
opportunities, to recognize opportunities,
and to exploit
opportunities as part of a successful
career path.
Right. Well business school plays a
primary role
in those first two elements more than
anything opportunity generation and then
recognition.
Okay. In terms of recognition we have a
separate video
on understanding business careers or
separate video series
actually and we talk about aspects like
personal motivation
job functions different career paths and
how the knowledge of these aspects
understanding yourself,
understanding different job functions,
and different career paths, and what
people do in different organizations in
the business model, and all of that
helps you in terms of networking how you
employ that
that information or knowledge that you
uniquely acquire from business school
in meeting people having meaningful
conversations and ultimately
generating opportunities for yourself or
recognizing
opportunities as they materialize. Okay.
So the aspect of understanding business
school and how
or understanding business careers or
business practice and all of that aspect
is extremely important in terms of
creating opportunities for you.
Okay. Now searching and preparing for
opportunities business schools offer
tons of resources
in that way. Business schools generally
have dedicated
career uh resources career
professionals on staff who help you in
that way to
identify career paths, to prepare for the
interview process, to prepare for
applications
uh for just about every aspect you can
imagine of career development
in there. So there's that unique aspect
of business school as well that they
have those career development functions
built in.
Okay. And then there's securing
employment
all right the actual idea that employers
prefer or the way that employer
employers go about
bringing on professionals into an
organization
corresponds well with the approach
that business schools take
to training and exposing you outside.
So employers can in a separate video we
talk about why
employers want business school graduates
right in terms of
the credentials they have, the exposure
they've had ,the talent and skills they
developed a general intellect that's
shown
diligence work ethic and most notably
fit within the organization which there
isn't a
assimilation type effect of business
students
towards the idea of you know business
practice in the organization.
So that's something to recall as well
that there's a ton of
benefit there in terms of what employers
are looking for
in that regard. And then extremely
notably internships as being a portal or
pathway into the organization.
In a separate video we talk all about
internships and
we also talk about in a video on how
firms hire
small, medium size, and fortune 500 are
large firms,
how they hire and particularly in your
larger firms internships are the only
way into the organization
for uh recent graduates. Right.
So if you're not an experienced hire or
lateral transfer as they say
transferring into the organization is
very difficult to get into the
organization
as a recent graduate coming out of
school or someone without
extensive experience in the business
field if that's your goal or objective
without
going through a formal internship
program with that company.
Okay, so again we talk all about that in
different videos on
internships and how
small medium and large firms hire,
so take a look at those videos if you have
the opportunity.
And then in a separate video as well we
talk about uh the career promotion and
changing career aspects of going
uh to business school how you can be
following one professional
path but going back to business school
can give you the combination of
learning and career resources necessary
to
change career paths or particularly in
the case of
an MBA the ability to move
up in the organization that it's, and
we have a separate video specifically on
the MBA that's
special about that that how you use it
as a stepping
tool to move up in the organization to
move from that
professional service provider to being a
manager of professional service provider
and how it serves kind of as a finishing
degree
for you. So that being said business
school
offers a unique opportunity for a career
path
change and then promotion in the
organization as well.
But once again we have specific videos
on those topics but
collectively this is the career benefit
that business schools offer to students,
so
having an understanding of that along
with the learning aspects will help you
make the right decision in determining
do you need a business degree.
