<p>I am new to this board so forgive me if an issue like mine has been discussed before or if the issue is not on the right forum.
I immigrated to the US February 2009. While in my home country Kenya I worked for over 2 years in development work and rose through the ranks from an intern to a project officer by the time i left. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology from a college back at home</p>
<p>I have not succeded a profesional job in the USA and has just being doing menial jobs. I am considering taking an MBA from a recognized but not a top 50 school. My reasoning is that this will help me break into the US professional scene and even though i wont be earning the six figures top mba us citizens earn i aim for may be about 60000. I would ideally prefer working for a company that does business in Africa with the hope of being posted there after some time time.</p>
<p>Alternatively I can specialise in entrepreneurship and go back to the non profit world to promote small business in Africa. I love my home continent and would like to contribute to its growth.
Am i being over ambitious or do have a shot at the US business in the US business scene given my background in non profit in Africa? Thanks and sorry for the long post</p>
