If you like dentistry and have aptitude for it, you should pursue the postgraduate work.

No one can tell you if you should do it, Mike.  You have to make your own decision and then whatever comes from that decision learn from it.  I'd be inclined to recommend you go for it as it is probably an opportunity and experience you shouldn't let pass you by.  However, if you have a family you're supporting, stick with the two jobs.  If it's just you, go for it.  Live life to its fullest.  Make mistakes and become a success!

You sound a little unsure about what you want to do.  I owned my own business for 4 years before going back to school.  I think I know what you are thinking.\n\nWhy do you not want to attend a 4 year college?  \nDo you not think it will really prepare you for business?\nor Do you not want to spend the money?\nor Is it the time?\nor do you think you will have to learn a lot that "you will never need"\n\nMy guess is that it is combo of all of these.\n\nFirst off I’ll address the college question then the general entrepreneurship questions you also probably have.\n\nIf you are admitted to a university you should be able to take all the business courses they have.  However if you go to a competitive business university you may find that they will only allow business majors to take some classes.  Ask several universities you plan on checking out.\n\nA 4 year University has a different perspective on what they can teach you about business.  Most Universities hire only Ph.D.s and most REALLY successful businessmen are not Ph.D.s (Although there are many good business teachers out there).  The perspective that you will get at a university is different then you would get if you were to be mentored by a CEO of a major company.  With that said I still think the technical understanding of business is important.\n\nIf your unsure about your business abilities, start with a community college and begin your business while in school.  Depending on what business you want to start (if you have one picked out already) you should have plenty of time to both if you take only 2 or 3 classes.  I caution you to not pick any business that is too trivial or multi level marketing because this will damage your contacts.  You want to start presenting yourself as a responsible young adult because if you ever decide to sell real estate or investments or any other contract driven business then your contacts will look down on you.\n\nIf your thinking you will waste a lot of time to study things you will never use then double major in something useful like accounty,economics,marketing.business admin  Any two of those would fill yoru scheduel so full you would hardly take anythign that was not business related.  \n\nYou will find the largest benefit of your degree is to hold it up as a trophy to your clients.  You can, however, you can get by fine without a degree if you are motivated.\n\nWith that said I will definitely say that developing your own confidence and belief in yourself is far more important than the technical side of business.  A very effective way to do this is start reading good books.  Self help books may seem corny but they really can help if your not sure if you are prepared for business.  \n\nSome good reads are:\n\n“Think and Grow rich” Napoleon Hill.\n“How to win friends and influence people” Dale Carnegie.\n“Rich dad Poor dad” Robert Kiyosaki (this one is too much fluff for me but many people love it)\n“Absolute Power” Anthony Robins.\n“The Richest Man in Babylon” Og Mandino\n“Low Profile Selling — Act Like a Lamb, Sell Like a Lion book” Tom Hopkins\n\nI’m sure you will find more out there.  \n\nTry and make a schedule for reading your good books and other development strategies.

Yes!  I graduated Notre Dame with double degrees in Management and Marketing.  I immediately upon graduation got a job as a manager with a large company.  I did this for a few years and just really wasn't "feeling" it.  Then I had my daughter.  I hated having to take her to day care all the time.  My husband holds the same degrees but works in IT.  He told me he could teach me and help me pass my certification tests.  So, that is what I did.  I love working in IT because now I can work from home a lot of the time and still make a nice salary.  I am here for my daughter and my son whenever they need me, before and after school, also for any school functions.  I have NO regrets.

Academic pedigree.  Don't let anyone tell you that it doesn't matter.  It does.  Where you did your undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral work counts.  And with whom counts.  It would also help if you already had some independent funding set up.  Theoretical fields are harder to get funded, and money talks loudly.

You need to go to PG apart from your graduation. Go for MCA. Now a days it's better option since software industry is booming.......

I'm not sure if you're looking for business advice, a new job, or just reassurance.  Since I'm not in the position to help with the first two...\nThere, there... everything will be fine.  You're a smart guy who loves your family!  Keep working hard and you'll be a success.

Personally I would advise getting a second major that varies more from your first choice. For example, a foreign language or a computer degree.\n\nIf you want both degrees to be in business, I'd go for economics (or how about finance?) or marketing. \n\nHuman resources is a staff job, as opposed to a line job, and that means you can only advance so far in the company. Are you familiar with this distinction? Staff jobs support the business but don't bring in revenue or have affect the bottom line as much. They are more generic, that is, you can do HR for any type of company without having specialized knowledge.\n\nLine jobs ARE the business. You are directly involved in the core of whatever your company's product or service is. You must know about widgets to make it in the widget industry.\n\nExamples of line jobs are manufacturing, sales, marketing. Examples of staff jobs are HR, communications, IT, shipping (unless your company is an IT or a shipping company).\n\nMajoring in entrepreneurship will tell employers you want to go into business for yourself, whether that's your plan or not, they may be afraid you won't be a company man.

I would recommend getting your undergraduate degree in any field that interests you and that you will want to work in the industry of (ex. Public Relations, Marketing, Accounting), and a masters in Business Administration or Management.\n\nThat way, you can end up managing a company that deals with something you are educated about and enjoy (such as managing a marketing firm.)

Bravo, for furthering your education!  I just finished my master's degree and am starting my doctorate this fall.  Both of my parents went to college when I was in high school, and it was hard for them.  On one hand, it did stress to me that education is important, but on the other, they struggled to meet the demands of family, work, school, finances, etc. and I knew I didn't want to do it that way.  It's good that you're thinking of doing it early in your family life and before you have other children (my parents had 4 of us from ages 16 to 6 when they went back).  And setting an example for your daughter will be an added benefit.\n\nCommunity college is a good way to ease into going back to school.  I went to a kind of community college (a small branch of a large university) for my first two years of school and then transferred my credits to another university to finish my BA.  You'll take the same general education courses (math, writing, history, etc.) at most colleges/universities anyway, so it might be a good idea to take some (less expensive) community college classes, get to know what you'd like to study, and transfer if you decide it's your cup of tea.  I highly recommend that route; obviously, I loved it!  \n\nGood luck!

If you're able to support yourself with this current job, I think you should stick with it until you graduate. Then you can move more easily onto something bigger and better and you will have your degree and a bunch of on-the-job experience.

I see myself being very successful and advancing through the company ranks.  I would also include something about family goals (like in my case, getting married, having kids, buying a house).  Including personal goals shows balance (not all jobs want balance, some want only you and nothing else, know which one the company is.)

It totally depends on what you want to do.  I got a BofBA in accounting and now I'm an accountant.  Some of the folks I work with got Com degress and are now answering the phone in customer service.  I would say, for either degree, get a speacialty in something like marketing, management, journalism, etc. so that you'll be really great in one field.  It's better to be great at one thing than just ok at a lot of things.

I am 51 years old and I decided to go back to school and get a business degree in Entrepreneurship because I am older and feel that opportunities for us are limited.\n\nBut you can still work at hotels, and work up in higher positions.  I currently work at a hotel and plan on applying for jobs within the hotel after I get my degree, and the big plus is that they are paying for my education.\n\nValet jobs, drivers...school bus or city bus, parking meter readers, any city position.\n\nCasino's as dealers\nWaiters in banquets\n\nDon't give up...it is attitude more than anything.  Use your network of people that you know...they are a very good source of information.\n\nWhat type of work were you doing before?
