Do your internship with Walgreens...but don't take an offer after graduation. Go w/ Walmart's Pharmacy...a better deal. 4-10 hr days and 3 days off! A very good friend of mine was Walgreens Pharmacy Mgr and she left. She was an emerging pharmacy leader to boot...she was on track to become a walgreens district pharmacy supervisor. She is now a RPh w/ Walmart and says its the best choice that she made in her life and is happier. Use Walgreens for you internship and leave after that...looks good on a resume and Intercom Plus is an excellent system to learn from.

I specialized in general mgmt and went to a crappy school. So now I am paying very dearly for this huge mistake. I went there for cost and convienence. I think that the only way out of this mess is a specialized masters degree from a reputable school.

My MBA specialization was not in finance and my school is not AACSB approved. My specialization was in general management. I have realized that I am pretty much in trouble...I have had a heck of a time getting job offers over $40K because of this and I constantly send out literally hundreds of resumes and the only people who call are retail. And not good positions either...retail store management. So its all pretty much a slap in the face and I screwed up by going to a school because of affordability and convienence. I mean, I have people who interview me and offer me 35 or 40k and act like they are giving me the entire world. It is so ridiculous! That is why I am looking to go back and get a more specialized masters degree...because I think I am going to keep sinking further and further in a hole w/o one.

Does it make sense for an MBA to go back and get a MS in Finance?

I did this when I was 22. Went directly from undergrad into my MBA...I had my MBA when I was only 24. Here's the catch: I went to a crappy school (now that I look back on my education) and now I am paying dearly for this huge mistake. Take it from me: if the top-tier schools want work experience, do it and apply. If you land yourself at a top-20 program, you'll be making six-figures in no time at all!

I already hold a MBA from a non-top tier school (huge mistake!) and I am looking to break into the finance field. I only took a handful of finance courses and I seem to need more to enter the securities industry. I would like to get into trading. I have a friend who had a relative that went into day trading out of college (from a top-25 undergrad school) and made a six-figure salary. I wish to do the same, but I want to know whether or not anyone on here would recommend the MS Financial Services from St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, PA. I know that it is an AACSB school and a specialized degree. Has anyone else heard anything? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

GRE_Kickboxer: Just found your post today and it seems that you are in the same situation that I am. I received my MBA from a non-AACSB school as well. I only did it because of cost and convienence as well. I finished my MBA 4 years ago and have only found crappy employment prospects of 40k/year and most Fortune 500's ignore me as well. Since my MBA ended, I have spent the majority of my time either unemployed or taking jobs that paid peanuts to get by. I have realized that no one worthwhile is going to hire me and I am too looking into MS Finance Programs as well. There is no other way to do it. MBA & Still Searching
