Hi All;

I am 33 year old, i am an engineer, want to do a career change to management and i was looking at the online mba programs, i am not able to make a classroom mba as my present job is unstable and i have to move a lot, i got accepted on the Durham university online mba program, but after comparing the content of the full time mba, i am not really satisfied, after doing research i found warwick mba online program is better, isenberg school of management is not a bad option as well as university of illinois,I will wait at least 2 years to be able to make classroom mba, what is the best choice to be made in this case;

This depends on your goals. Illinois has a much deeper content.

if my goals are knowledge, Accreditation and consideration in the job market, what's the best choice, and if it's worth it to wait and get a classroom mba probably in Egypt

Online MBA programs aren't really designed for large career transitions. However, if you're looking for something to skill-up in your current company, or at the very least stay in the same industry / country, then it could work.

But if this is the case, certainly you should look into the kind of representation each online MBA program you are looking at has in your industry / company (alumni network.) Ask around, see which programs / schools are valued among your peers and managers, and then go from there? Yes, surveying LinkedIn would also give you a broad view as well, but this may not be as effective as simply asking people.
