Hi there,

I have a simple question at the moment however it is very general and therefore I am happy to expand on it in anyway if required-

I am a structural engineer from New Zealand with 4.5 years experience (3+ years in New Zealand and 1+ in London, UK). I am looking for a complete career change- into something that draws on my current set of skills, interests and very high self-expectations however I do not know what!!

Is carrying out an MBA a useful vehicle for a complete career change in Europe and North America given their current respective economic climates?

I apologise if tho topic has already been discussed in another forum.

Cheers!
Hamish

Hi Hamish and thanks so much for your post!

It's absolutely fine to think about an MBA as a platform for a career change, and I encourage you at this point to really research your options, and to do some thinking and research about what you envision as a career. However, when you apply to business school, it is important to have a strong sense of your own skills and strengths, as well as what you need from an MBA program, and what you want to do post MBA, both in the short and long term. I would suggest that you do some informational interviewing in areas that might be of interest to you. You also might want to check out some career guides (we have some available at our online shop, on our site at www.clearadmit.com).
Of course, feel free to contact us at [email protected] for a more detailed, free initial assessment to get you started!

Best,

Deena

Just chipping in to say that pretty drastic changes can be made with the MBA. I certainly know very interesting cases from Imperial College Business school who went from consulting to wine industry, from being an olympic champion to working from BP, from working in policy to starting a renewable energy company. My advise would be to narrow down what area you want to get into before you apply. It will help you choose what school is best for you. But I would like some tips on what factors were considered during the process.
