Hi,
I am a working professional who is on work visa (h1b).
I recently accepted admission into a part-time MBA in a second rung B-school. When i started the application process, the economy looked pretty good and recovering. i was pretty positive that it would continue to recover and there would not be any threat to my job (which is very important to keep me legally in US and also to fund my MBA) for next couple of years. If not for economy/recession, my job is pretty secure.
In a month's time my course begins and I will need to start paying fees. But looking at the current state of US economy (where everyday there is news of it getting deteriorated and double dip recession etc), am feeling nervous to proceed for the fear of having to drop out midway due to lack of funds to pay fees. There is no way i can pursue MBA without my present job. I am a bit confused whether to go ahead as planned or postpone the admission to next year. I want to know what others perceive about the economy for rest of the year and next year.
I would appreciate any suggestions and thoughts on this issue.
Thanks.
