I wouldn`t get my hopes up if I were you . Management is becoming a dead "profession" for several reasons . "Working" managers that have been trained specificaly by their employers are taking over the jobs of management . Many firms have seen first hand the resounding success of this system in Japan , where it originated , and in many Asian countries . Companies aren`t willing to pay a manager 6 or 7 figures per year to sit at a desk and shuffle papers when they can take a production employee that is well versed in the intricacies of the department ..... pay him/her an extra $10,000 - $20,000 per year to see that everything runs smoothly .......... and be MUCH better off for it , in production , in employee loyalty and satisfaction , and especially financially ............ They`ll pay these employees to take management courses , and they`ve got themselves "working" managers who do their own work and management duties as well . If you DO get employment as a manager of some sort , it`ll most likely be in the telemarketing or direct sales areas where the company has a large number of part time management slots to fill because of the high employee turnover rates in these fields . Most other employers will fill these types of vacancies from within with the "working" manager these days ........

You should be looking for a job in which you will be responsible for the profit and loss of the company.

Of course it's a good option. But you need to provide some more info What are you comparing it to? As in, what are your other options? And what is the end goal? If you are trying to be a manager at a construction company, it's the best option. If you're simply looking for more money, then maybe go the neural surgery route instead of construction management. But the short answer is yes, it is worth getting. You will make so much more in your life time than if you went into construction managment without a masters

According to Occupation Outlook Handbook, by the US Dept. of Labor, an MBA with technology concentration is desirable. The outlook for job growth is faster than average which is good news!

Masters in Management is much more focused, and will probably include a lot of courses in leadership, HR functions, organizational behavior, etc. MBA is a general degree which provides a broader focus, and will include coursework in finance, marketing, MIS, law, etc., in addition to some management classes. It is designed to give one the skills to provide upper management leadership, since such a position will require one to have at least rudimentary skills in all those critical areas.

The MBA is a general degree preparing students for management positions in any level of a business, up to CEO. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, management, statistics, economics, strategy, policy, and other courses. Many MBA programs offer concentrations in these and many other fields, but that amounts to only 2-3 courses in your chosen field in the second year of study. Many students avoid a concentration and take a variety of elective subjects to gain a broader background. You don't become a specialist in a field with 2-3 courses. It generally takes a year of concentrated study. The MS degree concentrates study in a single field and prepares students for high level staff or research positions. The MS typically requires an undergraduate education in the field in which you want the MS, or a closely related field. A finance major does not get an MS in chemistry, and a biology major does not get an MS in accounting. If you want to specialize in a particular field other than business administration, such as finance, marketing, operations management, human resource management, or a non-business field such as public health, or public administration, you should get an MS degree in that specialization. MBA programs accept students in any undergraduate field. They prefer students who do not have a business background because they give you the business training but they cannot provide the broad background that managers should have. I have taught MBA students with degrees in Music, Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Psychology, Political Science, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, and many other fields. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree, but many accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience. Typically students can go into MS programs right out of their undergraduate program. The Official MBA Guide provides a lot of information about the MBA degree and MBA schools and programs. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.
