On another thread you write:<div>Could you tell me what are the chances of someone landing a job in management when they come from non management background? I for one work as a language trainer. I want to get into University administration. Would it be wise to spend so much on an MBA from tier 3 univeristy?&nbsp;<br></div><div><br></div><div>The MBA works very well for making a transition and, in particular, longer MBAs with internships, projects and elective tracks help make that happen.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>However, I assume that few university administration professionals have MBAs. Why not look at specific functions and take a functional master's, like finance, procurement, HR or marketing and move into the education sector that way?&nbsp;</div>

Can you realistically get into an MBA with your work experience? A quality school will look for a decent career arc and something like 4-6 years of work experience. If you don't have this, you might consider a non-MBA business master's degree from a quality business school.&nbsp;
