I admited that I prefer IB than Finance. However, I asked around and did more research and eventually came to know that all the international business courses are theory. And Finance seems more marketable.
Please give me as much information as you can in terms of which degree I should study abroad?

The biggest difference is going to be where you study not what you study.

MBAs are just a way to get into the job market, you can get the same skill set far more cheaply by doing accountancy. Just go to the best name brand school you can get into.

f you have a real choice, Finance plus a second language would be the most marketable.

However, I was about a semester shy of getting a BA in History and was wondering if the school I am attending for Grad school would let me transfer those history units and let me complete a BA in History.

Second degree rules usually require that you not only complete all requirements for the new/second degree but that you earn 30 new hours that weren’t used in the first degree.

Most schools also won’t let you be enrolled at two levels (grad and undergrad) at the same time.

With 30 new hours though, you could probably earn a BA in History - but, an MA in History only takes a little more than that and if you were close to the BA already then you probably have the undergrad hours to get into an MA in History when you finish the one in English.

For career purposes - it would be beneficial to do another MA if you plan to write about history, teach in the public schools (dual area cert with Master’s +30 pay), teach in a community college (multiple content areas), or work in a museum as a curator of history with research/writing responsibilities.

You can get micro-credit internships in developing countries such as Senegal and Ecuador. I know that GlobalNomadic.com have a good range of economic internships.

I am majoring in biology and I have a 2.6 GPA . I am willing to enroll to a master program in forensic science! though I don’t know if I’d get accepted with this GPA.

My question is how much should I be getting on the GRE in order to influence on the admission council’s decision?

THank you

100%

If you had a 3.0 GPA, I would tell you that you wouldn’t stand a very good chance at getting in. Most graduate programs require a 3.5 GPA or higher, and it is typically on the higher side.

I like to travel and I like different cultures etc… But most people go for MBA Finance. Is it because there more jobs in Finance? Are finance jobs boring and fun?

Do you know some graduate in any IB programs how was their careers and job perspective. Share with us!

Thank you in advance.

Finance is usually seen as more marketable. What you should keep in mind is the difference between what you want to do and where you want to go? You can certainly travel and work in different parts of the world with an MBA in finance, you don’t have to have a degree in IB just to work over seas. Most people who work abroad are actually teachers or in education and not in business.
Some of my students in Finance are working for car dealerships, and at banks as loan officers. One student is working for a company in china in the payroll department. He manages the overseas employees housing, transportation, insurance and salary.

I have to take out my own taxes. They pay me 13 an hour, but it is really 10 an hour. I also clean constantly and am on the go a lot. I work 60 hour weeks. I have experience and a degree. I am enrolled in grad school as well.

I would say that you should be making more than $10/hr if you have a degree and experience.
I was paid $500 - $600/wk for 45 hours and 2 kids, with no degree and no experience in a lower income area.

You can work in a variety of different fields. From a governmental perspective you can work with your Federal Export Credit Agency (ECA), or your respective department of Foreign Affairs. You can use that degree to branch into international marketing or international consulting. You can also go the route of logistics and become a freight forwader.

You can use your skill in International Trade Finance to work at the Trade Finance desk of a bank. You can also look to working with various NGO’s like the UN, IMF, WTO, etc.

You can work with various MDB (multi-lateral development banks, like the Worldbank, Inter-American Development Bank ) or you can work for private institutions that are bidding on contracts from MDB’s or NGO’s.

A little bit about me: 22, female college grad enrolled in grad school. Just started my first job this week. I work in grocery retail, make minimum wage, $8/hr, commute 20 miles, work 30-32 hours a week.

This is the only job I could find in this economy and already I hate it. Overworked, underpaid, ya know. 0 work-life balance since my hours are random. shifts are 8 1/2 hours and i take no breaks until the last half hour. I’m tired and extremely sore after only 2 days. Please don’t tell me about the real world and sacrifice and necessary suffering…I’ve done plenty of that and could tell you stories. (Besides, lawyers and legal assistants and other "professional" jobs dont swing those hours and this kind of labor.)

I want to quit and focus on my studies, but the economy has me so worried! Should I quit and not care and just wait out an impending crash? (I dont really need the money yet since I still live at home). Or should I stay with the job? Would a job in a supermarket be not-so-bad during an economic collapse since everyone will always need groceries? Please give me some advice. Thanks.

I worked food retail for (17) years and HATED every minute of it so I can relate with you. Jobs are hard to come by right now but not impossible. It may take you a few months to find another job but if you don’t need the money and you are very unhappy then you may want to take the time off and look for another job. Being unhappy may effect your studies so that is another thing to keep in mind.
Grocery stores usually cut your hours as the economy slips and people have less money to buy goods with so the sales dip. Maybe you should figure out what kind of work you want to do and see if there are any jobs openings in your area,

Good Luck
