Hi there

I am coming to the end of my year of maternity leave and will be returning to work 3 days a week in April. I have always wanted to do an MBA so am thinking that while I work part-time for a few years, there may be some space in my life to do an MBA. I hope to begin B716 in May. Ideally I would complete the MBA in 4 years and return to full-time work (with my shiny new qualification!) when my son turns 5.

I would be really interested to hear from anyone who has completed B716 or is perhaps studying it at the moment and has had to balance this with work and young children. Any advice?

Best wishes

MBAMummy

Hi There.

How have you found first month so far with respect to balancing study time allocation v`s family life?

I`ve signed up for the MBA in October, and would love input form people starting off, so i know what i`m getting myself in for.

 

Two young kids and full time job to balance into this equation :(
