  MBA缘何遇冷?

  导读:对于很多人来说,MBA工商管理学硕士学位(Master of Business Administration)往往代表着一把打开成功大门的钥匙,然而近年来,越来越多的人开始对于MBA热潮进行了思考。

  Pursuing an MBA degree is the ambition of many young white-collar workers who graduated from university a few years before. They’ve accumulated some professional experience and saved a bit of money – prerequisites for most MBA programs.

  对于那些已经大学毕业数年的年轻白领们来说,攻读工商管理学硕士学位(简称:MBA)是他们的理想。他们已经积累了一些专业领域的工作经验,也存下了一小笔积蓄——这两者都是攻读MBA的先决条件。

  An MBA degree is a good springboard for those who want to switch to another career or climb to a higher position. The learning experience can be rewarding and practical.

  对于那些想要转行或者升职的人而言,MBA是块好跳板。这段学习经历兼具可回报性和实用性。

  That’s because MBA programs develop employees’ management skills, while also teaching them basic or even advanced accounting, finance and marketing.

  这是因为MBA课程着重培养从业人员的管理技能,同时也向他们传授基础、甚至是高级的财会、金融以及营销方面的知识。

  去年,你将大把的时间和金钱都花在了网购上,但却从未留意过这两项的付出。

  这就是为何当你收到第三方支付平台“支付宝”的年度账单时,会感到有惊无喜的原因了。
