I’ve been in the environmental sustainability world for 19 years without one and don’t know many that have them. Those that do have masters in engineering or MBAs. Personally don’t think one is needed. What’s your undergrad in?

If you really want to continue your education, go for it! Preferred means preferred, and a lot of the “requirements” in a job description are also preferred, so don’t let that be your main driver. Experience and certifications can help you round out your sustainability experience, too!

You could get a MS in Environmental Science or Environmental engineering or Energy Systems engineering or Environmental Policy or Environmental Management or Natural Resource Management.

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!

Hey Fishes! Does MBA give an upper edge (or is essential) in terms of better job opportunities and salary if one wants to create a career in B2B Marketing? Given already I am working in that domain without an MBA. Do hiring companies weigh on the MBA degree?

I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
