Bringing Strategic Management to Life
Within the next 5 years, i would like to graduate from Baruch College with a BBA in Human Resources. People say once you graduate from college, you're going to miss school or they rather keep going to school instead of getting out in the real world working. But I just can't wait to get out of school! It's just very tiring going to work in the morning and then heading to class at night. After graduating, I would like to work at least a year and a half for a known consulting firm or a known company with a HR department. Depending where I am in my career such as if I'm making alot of money and I'm happy with my job I would not go back to school to get my master degree just yet, but if things aren't going so good in my career and I hate my boss, I would most likely continue my education and get my master's degree in labor relations or industrial psychology to find jobs elsewhere. No matter what, I am hoping to go back to school and get my masters. Lastly I want to save money to buy a new house with my family. We have been longing for a house for so long. We have been constantly searching but still have not found the right one. My parent wants my brother and I to be the signers on the mortgage so that means that I have to stop spending and start saving. 5 years to accomplish these goals is not that bad, because I'm very close to completing my first goal already.

Hi Amy,
I like how you have planned your goals because you left yourself choices in case if you get a boss that you don't get along with you will be able to leave within a small time frame. Also try not to leave a long interval between your time-off from college otherwise it becomes difficult to regain focus!

I truly agree with the fact that you should stop spending so much and start saving since you and your family is planning to buy a house in the near future. You should save more money now so that when you actually have to pay for the mortgage it will be less of a burden for you.
I agree that heading to school after work everyday is very tuff. Nevertheless, if you are planing to get an MBA degree anyway, I would recommend you to take it right after you graduate from bechelor degree. Because it will be much harder to pick up the material after you drop it for a while. More over, you might have much more to consider in the future that prevent you from getting the MBA degree, such as family and childen.
Hey Amy,
I feel the same way about getting a master's degree. If all works out in my life I don't think I will go for master's. As for your other goal - to buy a house - it's one of my goals as well. Good luck with everything.
i think the goal of going to get your masters is great. In this day a undergrad education means nothing. So you have to make sure you have what it needs to stand out.
Good luck
Hey Amy, I definitely agree with you about getting out of school and just working. Working 20-40hrs a week and having a full load of classes is just too much after awhile.
It sounds tough to save up for a house and get the mortgage under your name. I don't know what the requirements are for a mortgage, but I hope it works out for you and that your family can move into a new house.
