Not a good time to pursue an MBA(even Top 10) before 2010. even the global economy bounce back in 2009 (very optimistic estimate), the recruitment should lag for one or two year.
Look at MBA employment rate in Wharton, in 2002, it is about 70%, and 80% for 2003, while internet mania bust cause an economic downturn in 2001.
for this time, the effect will be more severe, even 50% employment rate of Top 10 MBA is not strange for the coming years. |
