<p>I can not decide on what degree to go after. Right now I am in between two degrees, an MBA and an Ed.D (Education Doctorate). Here are some facts; I will be obtaining my BSBA (bachelors of Science in Business Administration) with a minor in human recourses from DeVry University in six weeks. I want to immediately go and attain a graduate degree because I know that I will not be motivated to go back to school later on in my life and a DeVry degree is worthless. The school that I want to attend is CSU (California State University) Sacramento because I dont want to spend 5 times more money on a private school. Here is a link of all the graduate degrees that they offer. </p>
<p>CSUS</a> Catalog</p>
<p>My strengths are that I am a:
Great leader
Strong problem solver
Effective public speaker
Good mathematical skills
Excellent understanding of concepts
Superb reasoning skills</p>
<p>My weaknesses are that I:
Have problems writing constantly
Do not have the most extensive vocabulary
Hate remembering useless information that will not benefit me
Do not like to be doing the same thing over and over again
Like to use my brain</p>
<p>What I think are good carrier characteristics are:
A salary of around 75k to 100k
To rarely work more than 40 hours a week
A job that should be around for 40 years
The job to be is somewhat of demand
That maybe requires a license</p>
<p>What I think are bad carrier characteristics are:
A job that will not get affected much by outsourcing or of shoring
The ability to get the job without a degree in that field
The lack of critical thinking involved that the employee is more like a tool than a person
An inconsistent salary (like contractors)</p>
<p>I know that I am not going to find a perfect job that fits me to the T but I would like to at least like to get one that comes close. I am not sure I want to get an MBA because I am kind of scared of the business world, the MBA is not necessary to become a manager, and it is kind of getting devalued, plus most managers work to hard to too many hours of the day. Please correct me if I am wrong. So what degree do you think I should apply for? Please feel free to bring up other degrees that would also fit me.</p>
