For a while now I’ve been considering applying to business school in order to augment my current career path on the Product Management/Marketing side of the house. After wes and a couple of other people mentioned it, I’ve been looking in to the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business Evening & Weekend Program. This three-year part-time program would be an ideal fit for my current work/life/etc schedule.
This evening I had the opportunity to visit an evening class entitled Managing Innovation and Change. I picked this course from a list of available visiting courses as it seemed like it would be the most interesting, especially considering some of the intellectual property issues I have been dealing with at work lately. I couldn’t have been more right. The entire discussion was very timely and very informative, I really got a lot out of it.
I know I should probably go back and check out a class that may not be as directly relevant to what I do today (like a Macroeconomics course or something), but tonight was a very compelling event to how useful and rewarding completing an MBA program might be for me.
