The Swiss business school IMD has come up with a new slogan: 'lifelong learning'. Before you think it is only another marketing slogan, think again. IMD copied the age-old Japanese teacher-student relationship where a student pays the teacher a lifelong fee for being, well, the teacher's student. IMD basically is slowly moving into the direction where one not only does a one-off MBA but has to go back again and again, for a fee that is. This will create a life-long income for an MBA school. Cleverly copied from the Japanese!
Join a distance learning MBA! It take for-ever to get about 1/3 of the degree done! The plan was, do this accredited distance learning MBA and then transfer, after its completion, to a better MBA programme. Now after spending about 2 years wallowing in my own tears and vomit, and constantly asking myself why? why was l such an idiot?
My advise, shot your self in the foot - don't do an MBA! Do a MSc in management instead, less glam but equally useful.
