If you want to secure your future, it can pay off to invest in yourself through an MBA.
Sharon Irwin-Foulon, Executive Director of Career Management and Corporate Recruiting at Ivey, says MBA applications increase during economic down periods because people understand that building new skills for their future careers is the best personal insurance they can have when the economy is uncertain.
In her third and final blog in a series for The Huffington Post, Irwin-Foulon discussed four things to consider before taking time off work to do an MBA:
- Will you be welcomed back to work?;
- Is your professional development on track?;
- Will your new skills be what businesses need?; and
- Do you have the experience to make it work?
“Who should consider the MBA right now? People who believe they are ready for change and growth should consider the MBA during these economic times,” said Irwin-Foulon. “Meaningful work experience will help you get the most out of your time, and ensure the investment pays off for you.”
