Why an MBA

I want to specialize in marketing to continue my career in a marketing related position. I can complement my sales skills with marketing skills via theoritical and practical knowledge which I will get from a good business school and improve my knowledge of finance, economics and organizational stragety to be fully equipped for future executive managerial positions.

Why in USA

I want to live in a culture, which I can adopt easily without language barrier.
I want to work in US or abroad after my mba degree. Thus, I would like to receive a prestigious diploma (As you can easily realize employment rate is considerably important for my decision)

Thanks in advance
