[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HEC diplômé here again.

Several years after I graduated, I was in the US and I became interested in a firm that was little, but doing niche work that really interested me.  Like I said, the firm was little and most associates and partners had MBA's from places like George Mason or even the University of Phoenix ( not kidding ).  When I interviewed; I was literally asked wtf was the Paris HEC and whether it was "accredited. "

There will definitely be a cost to going to uni abroad.   You can mitigate that cost by getting a US MBA or having a boring F500 career, but there is that cost.

NP.  Above post rings true with me.

I have an MBA classmate that made some less conventional educational choices in the late 90s.

1) US women's college for BA
2) 1-1.5 Year Master's in Management from a school in Paris (can't remember which school)
3) Worked in marketing for a US multinational in Boston
4) Worked at another US multinational
5) US MBA Top 20 school on leave
6) Returned to US multinational
7) High-end realtor (family business)

Points being that she had a US undergrad degree, she didn't really need to double up on masters' degrees but a French one was good enough for an MNC job.  And the career was eclectic.

Has your DC fully investigated NYC schools?  How about schools with strength in international business?  I hear South Carolina specializes in this.  What about Thunderbird?

There might be scholarship potential at some US schools...

I believe the London School of Economics would be somewhat better known.  Anything of interest there?  I worked for a Fed GS-15 who was Cornell and LSE PhD and my manager had an LSE Master's.

The only people I've met with prestige European MBAs have been expats relocated to America by MNC employers.

A final thought.  Kids who go to business programs tend to think the best jobs are the most popular ones.  Which are also the highest-paying ones.  [b]There is a ton of groupthink.  [/b]So, while it's nice to think of the $300K savings as a freedom fund, you may find your kid busily constructing his own gilded cage from the values and priorities of his program and classmates.  The real independent thinkers go into rare liberal arts majors.[/quote]

So true.  At NYU Stern, everyone wants to go into consulting or finance.  No one knows why or exactly what they would do, but everyone wants to do it.  - Stern MBA[/quote]
