Chad Harp Will Earn an MBA

In today's global economy, a college degree is very useful. It means you are much more employable than someone without a degree. There are countless people returning to school at community and local colleges to get degrees in order to make them more attractive to recruiters and companies.

In many fields, however, a college degree is not enough to land a well-paying job with benefits. People need to earn degrees beyond the Bachelor’s to really stand out in the eyes of an employer. Chad Harp realized this many years ago, before he decided to attend the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for a bachelor's degree in political science.

The degree he earned allowed him to work for the Republican National Committee during the 2012 election. It was enjoyable and worthwhile work, but this wasn't the sort of permanent position where someone can build a career. Knowing this, Chad Harp had already planned to apply for MBA programs around the country. Eventually, he decided to attend the MBA Graduate program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, starting in the fall of 2013.

A Master of Business Administration is a master's degree which has been earned by people from all sorts of backgrounds and interests. One does not need to have a strong business background to succeed in an MBA program. The primary focus of MBA programs is to approach management as a science and learn the best ways to go about managing a company and/or providing value as an educated businessman or businesswoman.

Chad Harp believes that his MBA will reward him with more permanent work. In fact, he has recently been promoted to Vice President of a venture capital investment business. The MBA he will earn will play an important role in the success he has in his new position. Chad Harp is looking forward to completing the MBA program and learning the skills and knowledge that will propel his career in investment, as well as a possible return to politics.
