a parent's journey...

should my child go to business school?

November 12, 2010

Parents, are you helping your child in deciding the course to take, and the school, where he will study? I have read of the plight of America’s top business schools: The world financial crisis has lessened the opportunities of their MBA graduates as known big companies on which the schools usually have been depending as MBA employers have been affected. It has then been tougher for job seekers. Just as an example, before in 2007, only about 4% of business school graduates would not find a job. Now, it could climb up to 13% unemployed.

Well, these graduates better have a strategy: work first but to learn and not just to earn; meaning, the emphasis should be on what they can learn so that later on, the can put up a business of their own, using the experience they get from their jobs. The purpose therefore is: to be an employer, and not an employee! Another strategy is: they not only focus on one possible source of income. Investing in a tried-and-tested solid asset is when they buy gold bars, which is a precious, stable commodity. Gold is a unique investment, and it can also be traded easily for they come in convenient size and shape. Consult the United States Gold Bureau for any inquiries regarding the business of gold, as they are experts on it.
