My suggestion is not to take up either. If you're not in management it don't really help you in any way. I would rather you take up specialized courses like PMP/CISA/CISSM Regards, Edmund Ng CEO, Founder Infinique Technologies http://www.infiniquetech.com http://www.itjobs.com.sg http://www.unemployment.com.sg http://www.click-flipper.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SG_IT_Jobs http://www.purchaseresume.com ***This is my signature.

The answer would depend on what you want to do in the future. If you want to stay in strictly technical roles, then - as the previous answer suggested - professional certification is the better investment. However, if you intend to move out of technical roles and move into management and business oriented opportunities, then MBA or MISM could help you. If you are inclined to steer away from technical roles and want to stay within IT industry/specialty, then MISM is a better choice and certainly with Carnegie Mellon's good reputation. If you are considering going into other industries, then MBA would be more suitable. Best wishes. (From my own experience as someone who has both MBA and MS in CS)

Balance work experience with an education. Too much experience or too much education is not good. Work on you MBA at night or on the weekends while maintaining work experience.
2
Are you leaning toward an accounting or financial analysis type of career or toward an IT type of career? Of course one does not need to be exclusive of the other. Especially in a small company environment.

First, you need to decide whether or not "systems" is the work you want to do. It does not matter if you decide to work for a consulting firm or not. A number of consulting firms have "systems" positions. Second, if you decide that "systems" is the work you want to do then I would encourage you to strongly consider the MIS degree program. However, if you want to survey the landscape of business opportunities outside of "systems" work, then I would highly encourage you to look into MBA programs. Carnegie Mellon is a great place for either program. Finally, if you are really unsure, then investigate both opportunities and see if you can combine the two. Usually, there will be classes that overlap so you might need to study the course offerings to get a sense of the how the programs vary. I would also encourage you to visit both programs, talk to students and learn more about the career counseling services offered for graduates of each program. Good luck! - Al

First of all you may not like what I have to say but if you are going to post something on the Internet make sure and use spell check and think about things like making sure your I's are capitalized. Your post does not speak well for you. In answer to your question I would suggest 1. You keep looking for a job.and an internship at the same time. 2. If a job comes up take it. 3. If a job does not come up but an internship does and it is one that will help you advance your career. Take it. Best of luck.

By all means YES. The professors love you. It goes on your record and leads to many paid opportunities. Take it.

Why leave the comfort of your own home? Hey listen companies now are becoming some what more picky with whom they want to hire. It's sad because determined smart people like yourself are just trying to make it in this world. I got tired of trying to find a job and after submitting 50 plus applications online I gave up. I started to focus more attention on finding position where I am able to make a income from home and concentrate on my degree. When I stumbled on one site I signed up for the free newsletter for top companies looking for employees from home. I got signed up right away and the rest is now history! http://www.productsupplycenter.com/web253661
