Members Emprov Posted November 8, 2009 Members Share Posted November 8, 2009 My degree isn't in anything resembling a useful field, but my corporate experience and the word "Oxford" have gotten me unsolicited offers from more than one company. And I suspect you'd have the same experience had you attended Harvard, Brown or Princeton. But again, I think it matters most for the first job that someone gets out of college. After that, it's nice window dressing, but, in most cases, actual performance is weighted more heavily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ec437 Posted November 8, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2009 If you say so. Like I said, I'll be surprised if you do (but it's a good idea anyway). Also, are you planning a Masters (MA, MLitt., MSt., whatever) in Economics or an MBA? European MBAs aren't always the same thing as is expected in the US. I betcha I could:wave:I'm looking at MA's or MSc's in economics or similar fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Emprov Posted November 8, 2009 Members Share Posted November 8, 2009 I never said it wouldn't Sorry, it was the whole "American employers wet themselves over most European degrees." thing that confused me. I still haven't heard which employers wet themselves when someone walks through the door with a degree from an average undergrad degree from the EU....unless by "American", you were referring to employers in Mexico or Bolivia. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members King Kashue Posted November 8, 2009 Members Share Posted November 8, 2009 You said "most European degrees", not most post grad degrees from EU schools. The poster is talking about grad school. The only type of degree being discussed in the thread are grad degrees. The post that I quoted and to which I replied specifically mentioned grad degrees. The degree I mentioned getting myself is a grad degree.Just because someone uses the word "cock" doesn't mean they're talking about Roosters; context is your friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
