If no private sponsor came to your rescue, then I feel you might not have approached the right people. If I am correct, one of my Son,s class mate from your Country, did his MSc- Biotechnology, by sponsorship. Try again. Have you enquired with your Governments concerned department ? try there also. The subject you have taken is excellent, you can start earning after finishing the course, summarize it. Approach a Banker for a study loan. Good luck.

Economic career! advice??..living in the UAE

Economic career! advice??..living in the UAE?
I have moved to the UAE from the UK and i am due to start uni next semester however i am having difficulty in deciding what to study. I would like to study Economics and then do further education (MSc, MBA..) probably in the UK but there are a few questions i need help with: 1) Will an economic degree provide me with job opportunities in the UAE or will a degree in Business Admin or Accountancy be more promising? 2) Would it be more useful to do a Masters in Economics or Finance or Political Science or an MBA in Business Admin?? I just need some advice. I know my question isnt very clear but im just curious as to which field will provide me with the best job opportunities and career prospects? Also what kind of jobs would some of the degrees provide me with? Anyone with any similar experience will be greatly appreciated! Thank you soo much in advance :)

my dear i m presently doing my PhD in Economics well the question you have asked is very relative . . my first answer is do what you are really good at or like the most. lets take my example. . i did my masters in economics with 300 batch mates but only a few have got jobs in economic field (including me :) ) the reason is that to get a job in this field you will have to be really good. the types of jobs an economist may get are . . . policy advisor to government. . economic advisor to multinationals. . freelance research analyst (huge payments if you make your name reputable) . . . . professor of economics in a university etc but if you are not that good in economics than you will get jobs that are better suited if you do an mba specializing in finance. so if you are good in or like economics very much then do it . . it gets paid highly other wise do an mba

Basically,an MBA would be a good option. In order to inform yourself about prospective Jobs, you can browse these job related websites : www.bayt.com www.jobsindubai.com http://www.monstergulf.com/

I strongly suggest that you DO NOT think of jobs at this stage. Choose a career instead. Let us examine the options 1. Bachelors in Business Administration + MBA. You would end up being a Line Manager during mid-career with lots of responsibilities and stress. Long working hours needing good leadership skills to motivate a team and meet targets. Wide Industry options 2. Bachelors and Masters in Economics More of a back-office opportunity. Business analysis, Internal audit options. Less stress requiring more analytical skills rather than supervisory and motivational. One needs to be meticulous and pay attention to detail. Career could be less glamourous. Try and see what suits your personality. All the best. If you are sincere you will always find employment

1) a BA or Accountancy would give you a broader range of options. 2) Depends on your interests. I would rank an MBA as being the most useful, followed by a Masters in Finance, then Economics. The latter start getting specialised and reduce your options -- if you end up not liking the field, you don't have much else you can do. I don't think a Masters in Pol Sci is of much use.

Looking for advice regarding entering the Investment Banking field

Looking for advice regarding entering the Investment Banking field?
I am interested in getting involved with IB at the analyst level now, or associate level in the future. I currently hold an Economics undergrad with a mediocre GPA (B+) and a one-year post-graduate Accounting diploma with an A+ GPA. Both are from well rated schools but are not Ivy league. Despite my relatively low Econ GPA, I am very analytical, have an A average in my junior and senior year and worked for a prof building economic and finance models in a variety of languages (C, MATLAB, etc.). I currently have an offer at a Big Four accounting firm that has to be accepted before Sept (ie IB recruiting season). My first question is am I currently competitive to work as an analyst at a large IB firm? If not, I was thinking of pursuing my MSc. in Quantitative Finance from the University of London External Programme while earning my accounting designation at the Big Four firm. Would this make me competitive for an associate position in 3-5 years? Would doing my CFA tests help? Thanks.

if you have an offer at a top accounting firm, your best bet is to work their for a few years and try your hardest to move up the ladder. Take some initiative and show that your a top dog in the financial field. After a few years of that try to earn a high score on the GMAT and get into a top 10 MBA program. The majority of IB jobs recruit from the top MBA programs, and by getting an MBA from one of those programs is the first real step into the IB field. Without an MBA the odds of moving up in the IB field is slim to none. Good luck
