My brother has started his MBA january 2011 at the UON. He is working on contract, he has paid his first sem fees, 60k, even done his first CAT's. He recently got another job where he is permanent and paid double. Trouble is he was posted to homa bay. What to do? Advise.

Tell him to sacrifice today for a better tomorrow. He should stick to his current job and continue schooling, i am sure he will get far much better job in future.

MBA is a very small thing nowadays. In future he could be able to pay for it and study it via his mobile phone. Mwambie afanye kazi. Atasoma tu.

must he attend class? it's mba for crying out loud. use technology.. pick notes..use email..come to city for exams,cats etc..most exams are over the weekends..
Infact leaving Nairobi buys him serenity and boredom..both good to study and research bila city distractions..

If he's able to do classes in Kisumu,well and good but otherwise - he should stick to the job,take advantage of the lower expenses he will have to SAVE & INVEST!!!

He can have most of his classes on Saturdays and wttend them at the Kisumu Campus then travel back to homabay on Sundays. I know os someone who comes to Nairobi all the way from Kisii on Friday nights to attend his classes on saturdays.

That's the most trickiest thing. Utamu wa pesa hautaruhusu!
