Ah crap I'm now a grad student!

Recommended Posts

GREAT! Now I'm a grad student! Get a little too tipsy while online and look what happens! You apply for an Executive MBA and you get in.

I just hope it's easier than engineering school and the view is more.......desirable.

:P


Any one else ever do this? Saturday classes, 26 months?

The view won't be any better. It'll be worse. Picture fat, wrinkly versions of the chicks you went to engr school with. It gets worse though: They've now pumped out a couple kids (cared for by randomly-selected daycare providers), and believe that the world owes them something, so with their five or so years of engineering experience they get an MBA and decide that they're suddenly Masters of the Universe. They will be YOUR boss. It will suck. They don't know FA about technical stuff - just the political part. Perfect for a company like Bechtel.

Fuck, it was just a few beers........

Welcome to our club of underpaid, overworked graduate students....maybe MBA programs are not as bad as biology, but just take in the words of Marge Simpson when she said, 'Grad Students- they're not bad people, they just made terrible life choices.' She hit the nail on the head.
And for the record: the appropriate ranking of cool modes of transportation is jet pack, hover board, transporter, Batmobile, and THEN giant ant.

When I lived in Sacramento before/during college, there was a car running around with custom plates that read "MBA BFD":D

Pull brotha pull! It's not bad!
Where I work, we have a saying (ladies please be prepared to be offended) "If she's not wearing sweat pants, tube socks and her eye brows don't touch..she's HOT."

So let's raise our glasses to low expectations!

What, a nice engineer boy like you getting an MBA?:o:S

Geez, next thing you know you'll have a job in Marketing and acting like you have a room temperature I.Q.:P


You know this is like the 10th time I've fat fingered NBA instead of MBA.
I'm very sorry about that.

Well, as for the wife....no I'll still be paying for her education. This will be paid by my employer. For some strange reason they keep placing me in management rolls and well......I don't have the training to be a manager. I'm a "good" engineer in that I can get a team set up and have "buy in" on our solution. But when it comes to managing....I've been winging it and well I think I could do much much better.

So who here has an executive NBA?

Makes me wonder how your management would react if they saw your mysoginistic posts here on DZ.com? :|



They'll probably promote him faster:D

massaginist- Is that someone who gives neck rubs?:)


Yes, yes I do.
I do with with my shirt off and Yanni playing in the background. :)
In all honesty and I know this is going to sound stupid and very lame. But I hope to learn how to be a better person from this program. And well I was just wondering if any one here has taken an Executive MBA classes?

No offence, but most EMBA programs care about one things for admission: your willingness to pay.

I don't blame them, it's anything but cheap!
I'm only going to an upper middle of the road university and it's going to set my employer back $30k a year! Not including books!

It's simply amazingly expensive.
Per my discussion with my POC at the school who knows something about the admission process what got my sorry ass over the bar were my patents and my Six Sigma Black Belt experience.

Apparently the nude photos that I submitted did not help. [:/]

Doh! :o Now you tell me!
And you think the oiling up and trying to flex didn't help?

I really hope these classes give me the tools to be a better engineer. But who knows? And I hope they are fun!
Engineering school was a lot of things but fun was not one of them.
