@Migs – all I can say is the ten jobs I had before working for Google and my MBA degree has helped a lot. Add patience, perseverance, resourcefulness, creativity and lots of Pinoy humor, that’s how I’ve survived so far. =)

From a managerial perspective, in hiring a person for an executive position, a person with an MBA has a definite advantage versus someone with just a college degree. MBA does teach a lot of topics that are important in managing a business—corporate accounting, corporate governance, HR management, etc.

In fact, as one goes up the tech corporate ladder, hard-core tech skills become less critical than managerial and communication skills.

What’s with the MBA preference? I know local IT MBA’s who would be lousy for this position.

hmmm, i believe i read somewhere in forbes.com the other day that googles annual revenue for the year of 2005 grossed into something close to $999 M USD, and even if its true, probably i kinda exagerrated the .5%, probably .000005%..

commenting heres really cool, i mean, i can comment on each and every article on this page so therefore my webby addy will be on each and every single page of this site, which will link back on my site (theoretically) which will affect the google pagerank of my site.. now i just have to have a real web address.. hmmmm..

soon on jan 2006..
