Editor's Notes
- #3: You need to know why you’re pursuing an education in business. Put some heavy thought into this path – you’ll be on it for awhile.
- #4: Original intent was to be a doctor. Enrolled as pre-med major. Fell in love with chemistry Switched majors Graduated with a BS in Chemistry and no profitable job prospects in the Valley. Project management fail! Luckily, I fell into tutoring. Wanted my masters. Started in education, switched to business, because teaching high schoolers is crazy!
- #5: What led you to decide on an education in business? What are your goals after you get your degree?
- #7: That’s my husband. Higher education is expensive! The average student debt for a masters degree is $57, 600. (US News, March of 2014)
- #9: Banks are great places for undergraduate business students to work. They are generally flexible with your schedule, and many of them will pay for your college if you get good grades. A lot of companies have similar policies, and a little research might get your college paid for. (Cost Management Knowledge Area)
- #10: Not bad. Look especially at the IT Careers. If anyone is interested in a career n the IT sector, check out BitWise Industries.
- #12: Do you see any skills here that will help in other management jobs?
- #13: These certifications carry weight. You have to be properly qualified to even apply. Many companies are now requiring some kind of project management certification to apply. You don’t need a formal education in project management, or even in business. You just need a degree, Associates, Bachelors, master, etc. and some education to get your first certification.
- #14: Project management offers some pretty nice salaries.
- #16: Project Management has been around a looooong time!
- #17: The development of really huge projects, requiring precise management of limited resources, gave birth to modern project management. The space program defined the need for the science and methodology of project management. When people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs revolutionized the technology sector, project management rook off. Sidenote My PMI # is 3111869 I signed in a gentleman with a 3 digit PMI number at our last dinner meeting,. That’s dedication!
- #18: There’s a couple of reasons. First, it’s really cheap for students.
- #19: Second, we have an Academic Forum.
- #22: Policies and Procedures Director works for the President, Karen O’Lane, who owns Micro Business Systems. Membership Director works for me. Public Relations Director works for the VP of Marketing, Jerry Dickerson, who is a PMP at Community Medical Centers. Volunteer Director also works for jerry Dickerson. Program Director works for the VP of Professional Development, Owen Owens, who is the Chari of the School of Business at the University of Phoenix.
