該不該念GIMBA？先看自己是不是這4種人
誰應該念MBA：有夢想也願意擬定計畫的人
如果你對未來沒有想法，所以想去唸個MBA學位，這不應該；而如果你想用MBA兩年，來填補你三十歲前人生，那更不應該！商學院要找的，是對職涯發展有想法、有規劃、而且因此需要一個MBA的人。當然啦，你可以因為不確定未來要做什麼，而跑去唸MBA（Come on！我真的不建議），但在申請前你總該想想可能的遠期目標，以及MBA到底是不是能幫助你更容易達成這個目標吧！畢竟如果你事先沒有任何方向或重心，很有可能學校一開學你就會被各種party、社團活動淹沒，而再也沒有時間思考，未來職涯的方向和規劃。（早餐會、上課、party、寫作業！看看CBS學生的一天怎麼度過）

越來越多人考慮透過出國進修讓自己的職涯再進階，面對不一樣經歷的學生，我通常會提出最適合他們的選擇；像是這幾年曾陪伴幾個工作資歷較長的學生申請到頂尖商學院的EMBA學程，這才發現我好像還沒寫過一篇比較EMBA與MBA的文章！

一般人常常認為，MBA與EMBA學程最大的差異就是對申請者工作年資的要求，不過仔細研究這兩個學程，你會發現他們分別是設計給不同性質的學生，哪一種適合你呢？以下是我的建議。
