Travel Tips - Squeezing in MBA
Study-Time While Traveling
MBA students certainly need high speed internet access
when traveling. Today, distance learning is the only
education process able to transcend geographical and
temporal boundaries and in order for MBA students to
make the most use of these learning methods, they will
need steady facilitation via phone, email, and
computer conferencing. Many business travelers find
this type of MBA program to be the only way they can
continue their education without putting their careers
and families on hold.
Studying part-time to get your MBA while you are still
working a full-time job can certainly help further
your career, but where do you find the time? The
balancing act between work, school, and family can
easily be thrown off-kilter when business travel is
suddenly thrown into the mix. However, business travel
can offer some great opportunities for study if you
plan wisely.
Managing the juggling act while on the road can
actually provide you with some great study time.
Flying is undoubtedly a hassle nowadays, but with all
the delays and layovers, it can actually be a blessing
in disguise. Take advantage of all those annoying
holdups by simply keeping your textbook or laptop
handy. During the flight is a great time to put on
your headphones and cram away.
Most hotel rooms are now geared towards the business
traveler; but don’t forget that they also offer the
same advantages to the business student. A quite hotel
room and a computer connected to the internet is the
perfect distraction free zone for research, study, and
writing.
Although traveling by car doesn’t offer the same
freedom to read and study as traveling by plane or
train; you can still use this time to place needed
phone calls or listen to pre-recorded class lectures.
As with most things in life, the bottom line is time
management, self-discipline, and motivation. And these
are probably the greatest skills that you will learn
getting your MBA.
