MBA Programs Aren't All Number Crunching

If you're an MBA student, you're not necessarily spending everyday in front of a spreadsheet. Business is about much more than predicting cash flows and creating tax shields.

While many business schools offer great finance MBA programs, your master's degree is what you make of it, according to Kathleen Voboril who wrote a piece for BusinessWeek about her business school experience.

"The most important thing I've learned in business school is that business is messy," says Voboril in her article titled The True Value of an MBA.

Voboril said she was excited for the new school year. Like many, she's been tested during her MBA program. Voboril says different students face different challenges. Some find the workload cumbersome, while others focus on learning how to interact with their classmates.

In an MBA program, you'll be required to take a variety of courses. Some of the subjects you might be comfortable with, others might be new for you. As an MBA student, you'll be asked to define your concentration. If finance doesn't interest you, consider pursuing a marketing MBA, for example.

If you're interested in acquiring the skills that successful businessmen and women have, an MBA program may be the right choice for you.
