I was having a pretty successful career in business but as the economy tightened I was getting passed over for good opportunities that were given to people with graduate degrees in spite of my superior experience. In the tight economy, getting established in a career is more difficult and more and more organsiations downsize. At Otago, I saw an opportunity to get an MBA in a high quality programme in a part of the world where I had always wanted to visit.
I Know it's cliche, but this place has changed my life! With all I have learned, my career goals are much different, more defined, and mine to conqueur! I could have done my MBA in a lot of places, but I am so grateful I am doing it here. The staff and faculty truly want to give you a great experience here.
