Engineer seeking advice!

by pinchharmonic » Mon Sep 17, 2012 10:16 pm
I'm an engineer and I either want to go into management or into product/project management. my long term goal will be entrepreneurship no matter what.

I'm applying to Haas and Andersen PART-TIME programs, but I'm curious what you folks think about the top tier part time programs Kellogg and Booth?

For Kellogg and Booth I'd have to fly on the weekends, but is it worth it for the better brand of these two schools?

I understand Kellogg is strong in marketing and Booth maybe for finance and consulting. would it be worth it to go to these better schools even if they don't align with my goals? Would the networks and job opportunities from Chicago schools be useful provided I want to eventually work in California?


Thanks!

Jim,

Thanks. Let me clarify, I'd like to go into corporate strategy later. I'd imagine that Booth and Kellogg have not only a better curriculum for strategy, but also better brand.

Unfortunately, the network would not be as west coast based and I suppose that's why you suggest I stay in the west coast for my MBA

I've read frequently that Booth and Kellog are a tier above Haas and although I hate to admit it, brand is important for me too.
