How to Balance MBA Coursework with Full-time Work

Here are Three Effective Tips for Success. Looking to advance your career? Obtaining an MBA while working full-time is a brilliant idea pursued by many. The Wall Street Journal published an article, “Looking to Double Your Salary? Try an M.B.A.” reporting both men and women doubling their incomes after graduating with an MBA. With the rise of the Internet and big data, more and more students are pursing a Business Data Analysis or Information System Management concentration. While this sounds amazing, it can be challenging to balance your coursework, job and other obligations. On top of working a 40 plus hour week, you also need to find time to attend classes, complete assignments, study for exams in addition to other obligations such as preparing meals and taking care of family or pets.
