Thapap,

I just happened to grab the most recent US News and World Report Graduate School issue. It ranks NYU Stern's Langone Program as the #1 in the US (probably world too) for part-time MBAs.

Why, are you planning to go there? If so, when? I hope you don't mind my asking.

JB,

Thanks for your valuable suggestion. I am sure I have lot more questions to ask you, but one at a time, right?

Most of the healthcare jobs are highly paid but you need to graduate. Nurses, Physical therapists, Occupational therapists etc all are paid high.You do not need to be doctor to be highly paid.Well, doctors are always paid higher than any profession from the entry level.

Two of my friends from my lab just completed PhD in EE. They both are into RnD in two reputed companies. One gets 160k and other gets 200k. So i guess there is money in research.

ARCHITECTS need to get paid more...

okay i have a question to those people in the US

I heard that a banking career is not "professionally" regarded in the US.... however, as far as I know there is a demand for banking professionals in the US

Now, my question is that if I were to pursue a career in the US would it be more beneficial to continue a strong banking career or is it best to go into a investment planning wing like financial planning?

I would like to especially direct this question to javabeans if he/she would be kind enough to answer cos I think you seem to know about the finance/investment industry pretty well

cheers!!!

Riten,
i am not planning to attend any biz school yet. that name was thrown to me by some of my colleagues, so i was just inquiring about it (O: . no significant plan for me in that direction yet.

silent,
wow 160k - 200k ==>> hmm.. that's very high even by silicon valley standards. that kind of number in technical area is very rare. good luck to your friends and hope that you will also get similar gig. just don't forget to invite us in that party.

shakshi,
if you may, let me try to answer in few words.
i really do not understand what do you mean by banking career. Its like saying IT job. now IT job can be anything right from simple help-desk to system analyst to embedded software engineer.
if you are talking about teller, then yes it is not a highly paid job. but if you are one of those banking professional who handles mortgages to financial planning then obviously you are better off.

THIS IS JUST ANOTHER STUPID THREAD.............WHO CARES ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU MAKE AND WHY YOU WANNA KNOW HOW MUCH OTHERS MAKE. THIS IS THE MENTALITY OF NEPALIS. ALWAYS HAVE TO POKE THEIR NOSE IN FRONT OF OTHERS.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO BE HAPPY.

Sajhakhohero, friggin mula, this topic is important for every kid (Nep or not) in college or thinking of pursing a higher education…If you are stuck to your 7am to 11pm cashier job, why on earth stop others from knowing the opportunites out there they'd have with an education and the correct major. Your friggin foolish likes should know that in matters such as education / job opportunities (bascially anyhting to make youself better off), even the tiniest information helps!! Damn, where do we get these types of idiots from?? Their likes should be banished to Pluto or something… hahahahah

Part-time MBAs makes sense to an extent- let me explain.

If your goal is to stick to your employer, and possibly move into management then part-time is perfect. This is also the case where they may reimburse part or all of your tuition fees, and you are obliged to stick around for a while. However, if your end goal is to seek employment elsewhere or you've changed your career direction then a standard MBA is called for. For me, the most important aspect of an MBA would be the ability to network, meet potential employers, meet classmates w/ similar aspirations, etc. It may be possible to do part-time for a year and then eventually move into a full time program for the final year.

Questions around a banking career-
I think it really depends on ones interests. High calibre banking is institutionalized- dealing with buying/selling of securities. This means banks dealing with IPOs, hedge funds, fund/money/portolio management, trading, credit risk advisory, issuance of bonds, etc.

Brokerage houses and commercial banks employ financial planners as an incentive to provide financial advice for their retail customers. Here, you're dealing with individuals and their needs- retirement, investments, financing, wills, etc.

As you can see, there is a quite a bit of difference in being a fund mgr vs a financial planner. Really, your success depends on your passion and interest in either of these areas. There is no smoking gun to pinpoint that one is better than the other.

hey become a doctor, u will earn lot. During residency which is equivalent to masters degree, they pay you 40,000 to 50,000 per year. After that you can earn between 150K to 400K depending on your speciality. So join a medical school now.
