behr asked:


Does anyone know of an international law degree program (not criminal justice) that you don’t have to give up your day job for 3-4 years in order to take?

I’m looking to compliment my MBA in International Business Strategy and my Doctorate in Organizational Leadership with a law degree but I haven’t been able to find anything that I can do in-between contracts.

I’m a Management Consultant by trade but I’m not making that much in the way of income that I can take off 3-4 years without working to pursue another degree.
Nice — Starts October 2009 which is perfect timing.

Not quite exactly what I’m looking for but is actually a nice fit considering it covers finance and economics as well.

I looked at some schools that do not require the GMAT test for an MBA and also do not require any sort of work experience. Obviously these schools are not really top tier, but they are all accredited. Does that mean that it’s safe to get your MBA at a school like that as long as it is accredited?

I know that a lot of people will say how important it is to go to a good school. My problem is however that I have almost no work experience. I previously studied in the United States as an international student and obtained my bachelors. However, due to my status I was not allowed to work for most of the time. Now that I am back in my native country, there are no jobs here at all!!! The economy is simply so bad here. It has always been bad and has now become disastrous due to the financial crisis. So I am kind of clueless what to do. I see my only option in pursuing an MBA program and then interning during my studies at companies. However, I do not even know how to get into any good programs as I am not able to find even the most simple job in my country.

Can anybody please offer me some advice?

Note: I do not have any problem with taking the GMAT. It’s the work experience I am lacking and I have no clue how to get it. Since I only have a bachelors I also do not hear back from companies in other countries.

So I have a choice between two schools: Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS) and University of San Francisco (USF).

MIIS is a full time program and focuses on international business and foreign language. If I went there I would have to take 5 to 6 classes per semester, which sounds really hard. I would also be about $50K in debt when I finished. But the program would be good and it’s being bought by Middleburry College, an Ivy League School

USF would be part-time and I could work while going to school. It would take longer to finish, but I wouldn’t be in as much debt (about $20k at most) when I got out. The starting pay for someone with an MBA from USF is probably a little higher as well. But, I wouldn’t get to live in Monterey, which I kind of want to do.

This decision is killing me. I have no idea what to do!!!
