Kinda late now, but an internship is really the way to go – see whether you can get into some post-grad studies with an internship.
Also, sometimes you can get into not for profits without experience, they don’t pay well, but 2 years of experience and then you can go make good coin.
I am an international student in uk and i am supposed to write a 3000-word paper on any non IT based organisation, critically evaluating the IS being used with respect to bpr, knowledge management, esecurity, ebusiness/ecommerce and how such has helped the organisation to achieve competitive edge/advantage. help i’m desperate
start out by checking the company websites of the vendors that provide such software and/or services like IBM (for all) and someone like Art Technology Group (for ecommerce/ebusiness). Usually the company websites will give you several customer references – companies that they’d helped achive success with their software and/or service in those spaces. Pick the type of customer you’re looking for in a non-IT space; if you’re lucky, the website may give you all you need without doing any more research. But it’s a good place to start.
I can’t find anything specific on this, I need to know if Business consulting for an Auto Body shop would be tax deductible. Thanks so much to ANYONE with the answer!!
The textbook answer to the question, "What’s deductible?" is, "Any reasonable and necessary expense incurred in the production of taxable income."
Normally you’d bring in a consultant to help improve your business procedures with the intent of turning a greater taxable profit either through the generation of additional income or the reduction of expenses or both. That easily passes the "necessary" test.
Reasonableness is a bit more subjective but unless it’s obviously excessive for the size of the business or the amount revenue involved then it should normally pass that test as well. If you paid a consultant $10,000 and your business generates $250k in revenues that wouldn’t be challenged. If you paid him $100,000 that might not be reasonable at first look but if it enabled you to run your revenues up to $1,000,000 in a couple of years it might still be reasonable given all of the facts at hand.
I’m about to start my MSc thesis soon. I am looking to enter the insurance arena (yup, I’ve got the actuarial career in mind!), but am stuck doing a business management and IT degree. Hv decided to make the switch soon, and plan to use my present thesis as a springboard. However, my University will only allow me to choose a topic that involves both or either of my primary subjects, namely, Business Management and IT. Can you think of any topics that could help me make this leap? Perhaps, something to do with management issues in insurance, or how IT can help solve a practical insurance issue? Any suggestions…?
Many thanks,
Charles DJ.

What dangers exist when your customers are more knowledgeable than your are concerning project management?
If they are rude, they will take advantage of your inexperience and show you up when it is to their advantage.
However, let us hope they are more professional than that.
Hi guys! I will be pursuing my MBA in Strategic Management… Like everyone else, I wish to have job security… 
I also want to be able to work in many types of industries and maybe in international countries other than my home country, US. My question is… Is an MBA in strategic management a decent and well degree to get into? Thank you so much for your help!
There is no such MBA. Universities don’t grant MBA in information systems, or MBA in finance, or MBA in marketing. MBA means Master in Business Administration. The MBA is a general degree preparing students for management positions in any level of a business, up to CEO. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, management, statistics, economics, strategy, policy, and other courses. Many MBA programs offer concentrations in these and many other fields, but that amounts to only 2-3 courses in your chosen field in the second year of study. Many students avoid a concentration and take a variety of elective subjects to gain a broader background. By the time you finish the first year you’ll be able to decide which concentration interests you. You don’t become a specialist in a field with 2-3 courses. It generally takes a year of concentrated study.
The MBA is not like an MS degree that concentrates study in a single field and prepares students for high level staff or research positions. The MS typically requires an undergraduate education in the field in which you want the MS, or a closely related field. A finance major does not get an MS in chemistry, and a biology major does not get an MS in accounting. If you want to specialize in a particular field other than business administration, such as finance, marketing, operations management, human resource management, or a non-business field such as public health, or public administration, you should get an MS degree in that specialization.
MBA programs accept students in any undergraduate field. They prefer students who do not have a business background because they give you the business training but they cannot provide the broad background that managers should have. I have taught MBA students with degrees in Music, Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Psychology, Political Science, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, and many other fields. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree, but many accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience.
No one should consider an MBA program without consulting the Official MBA Guide. It’s a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It’s the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.
I would like to get my masters ASAP (online). I am not computer sassy but interested. I would like to work in the medical field, hospital or medical office. I like working with the public, assisting, taking some decisions. Have taught Anatomy and Physiology with medical terminology in H.S. Like to teach adults. What type of master’s degree would align with my skills?
Perhaps talking with a student advisor at the college that one would like to attend can help. I would just caution one about enrolling in an online, for-profit school such as penn foster, university of phoenix, strayer, kaplan and others as they are merely out to ‘make a profit’: http://www.uopsucks.com
There are not supposed to be too many jobs for the medical assistant, medical biller or coder despite what private $$ schools proclaim.
For general career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search ‘health services managers’, ‘public relations specialists’ or such.
