Hi Chinnu,

I hate to say it, but I think most reputable schools will require some work experience, especially (as was true in my case) if your first degree was in the humanities/social sciences.

However, I don't think you should see this as a bad thing! Going straight from one degree into another is hard work - believe me, I've done it four (4!) times. A couple of years' work is a good way to get a bit of 'real life' experience, cut back on the grind of academia, earn some proper money, clear the inevitable student debts, and undoubtedly puts you in a better position to consider what you want out of life (although in my case that meant going straight back to university, obviously!).


The other option, of course, would be to look into management consulting, where its very common for companies to take on postgrads with little or no direct experience of working in business. I know this because a lot of my friends (with PG degrees in things like law, history and international relations) have done exactly that. You'll also pick up the experience you'd need for an MBA along the way, so if you still want to do one after a couple of years it'll be a cinch - although by then you may be doing so well you'll prefer to carry on doing what you're doing. Management consulting provides excellent career opportunities, and therefore compares very favourably with doing an MBA. Plus, instead of having to pay for your degree, they'll be paying you!
