Master of Business Administration. Is it worth it?
I want to complete a commerce degree (majoring in two of either corporate finance, accounting or marketing), and was considering sometime after that completing an MBA. Is it really worth it?

IMO getting an MBA from a good school will advance your career substantially, but just getting the letters after your name is of questionable value. As a hiring manager I've been shocked that people with MBA on their resume sometimes didn't know even the basics of business/finance (ex. what Net Present Value is). For me, an MBA raised my salary $40K right out of school and allowed me a much wider set of career options on a steeper trajectory (so definitely worth it).

It wasn't for me. At a cost of nearly $30,000 a year to get a $40,000 a year job (if I'm lucky), I said no and got a CDL instead. 1/6 the cost of an MBA and I make just as much. However, if you qualify for scholarships that allow you to go basically for free (or even provide living on money in addition), then that is definately worth it.

It depends on what you are wanting to do with your career. If you are going into high-level management or high-level administration then it is necessary. It is a nice tool for teaching college level. But you must be willing to have your life disrupted for two years or on hold for one year. If you can earn your MBA right after college, you may be able to get financial aid and you will be able to defer those college loans. The down side is that you may be over $100,000 in debt when you are done.

To pursue the nursing aspect you will have to obtain a bachelors in nursing and certify as a nurse. I am quite positive on this aspect - in particular obtain your RN certification. Once you have obtained that then you pursue either the MS in Nursing Administration / MBA. Here is a question? Do you realize there is an equivalent to the MBA for those within the medical careers. It is a Master's of Public Health or Public Health Administration. These programs are designed for public health proffessionals who are seeking to advance into management levelsin the design, implementation, and administration of public health agencies. If I were you and this was my goal then I would possibly consider this route: BS in Nursing then National Certification as RN then Master's of Public Health. The MPH will provide you with the information / and background that combines the Masters of Science in Nursing Administration and the MBA for health professionals. If you already have attained your bachelor's degree then the option mentioned by the previous poster would be the choice I would select. My suggested option works under the assumption that you have not attained your bachelor's degree. If you have a bachelor's already there is no reason to reinvent the wheel.

MBA at Robinson College of Business is great. It is a part of Georgia STate University. It is ranked in top 10 schools for MBA and has been so for 10 years. It is public university so it is more affordable than private...basically a Mercedes education for price of Kia.

The technical institute down in Invercargill is the cheapest - but I do not know if they offer a MBA.
2
Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_universities_in_New_Zealand I hope this helps>
3
The polytechnic in Invercargill is definitely worth considering if they offer the courses you want. Zero fees at the polytech and Invercargill is a cheap city to live in for rents etc.
4
University of Waikato specializes in Business. But otherwise you gotta remember that there aren't exactly cheap universities out there. Get a job or something or do you research.
