The impending future.

Posted by Zerok - January 11th, 2009


As I may have mentioned last blog, this is my last semester in the ol' undergraduate degree. Following that, I have to figure out what I am going to do with my life. Fortunately, I have a Plan A.

Dalhousie, my university, has started an new MBA (Masters of Business Administration) programme. They had an old one, but this new one is super revamped and unique to the WORLD or some shit. They call it a "Corporate Residency" MBA, which means for 8 months out of the 2 years I'll be employed full time by one of the program's corporate partners or affiliates. This is longer and more intensive than a typical co-op program, and there's a high likelihood that the company that "hires" me on in those 8 months will become my career company. After the 8-months the company and the uni work with you to plan your elective courses so that you tune your skills precisely. Interesting stuff.

However in this first year they're only accepting 50 people worldwide into the program. Also it costs $38,000 for two years. You're expected to make about $30,000 over the 8 month period though, but you still have pay a lump sum, I think.

Luckily I have an advantage in being a DAL student already, and I am healthily past their minimum GPA requirements. All I have to do is knock the GMAT out of the park and I should be at least highly considered. The program starts in JULY, which is weird, but still gives me time to make it to Montreal in June (fingers crossed).

Plan B is like, applying to normal MBAs at the other universities. Pleh.

IN OTHER NEWS: I now have a flash to my name, thanks to the adventurous LaughingTomato, who flash-ified the 2008 NG BBS Awards. Check it out:

It also nabbed Daily 5th, so now I even have a trophy to my name. Much thanks to LT for the crediting and subsequent award getting - it makes having done all that endless tallying totally worth it! :D

Congrats

Thanks!

man people are being kind of douchey about the flash :P

Hey, it's NG. They're just sore that something so simple was well received.

Good luck in your endeavors. You best make it to MTL in June. >: ( This time we're drinking the jager in person and I'm not dashing off to make it home for whatever bullshit.

Look at you... telling ME I have to make it to Montreal... how the tables have turned!

I fully intend on making it up there. I've blown ~250 bucks on worse things, plus the train ride is pretty peaceful.

Hope I can do better!

Yeah eat that sandwich mmmm.

Still eating Sandwich's, bro?

Hope you get that position so you'll be working with a company that's paying you good money for years to come.

I had a sandwich yesterday. Although the bread was really stale. I'm off to pick up pizza bagel supplies. They are fairly godly, and may even oust sandwiches for deliciousness.

Hey can I have a bite of your sandwich?

new blog post plz.

But you forbade my pizza bagel post. :(

Hah, I just noticed you've got that ol' symbol I pixelized as your user icon. Not my work, just the symbol itself.

I got it from the Omega Point Theory website I think.
