they say first impressions usually count, don't they? but an article in the straits times today highlighted the case of an mba offered by a professional body for insurance agents, mr davy goh peng yang found out that his mba qualification from vancouver university may not even be worth the paper that it is printed on.
mr davy goh completed his mba programme in 2005 and when he wanted to pursue vu's doctorate studies, he found out that vancouver university was not a recognised univeristy.
my comments:
i've been solicited to obtain questionable tertiary qualifications many, many times through the emails which are found regularly in my email inbox and this is on a constant basis over the years.
but i've resisted the temptation to even give these invitations the grace of my response simply because to me, a degree or other higher qualifications have to be 'earned' and not obtained through any other means.
this whole thingy boils down to the central principle of integrity and should i even consider exploring this option of obtaining questionable tertiary qualifications, then i have absolutely no right to continue doing what i have been doing for the past decade and three years in the financial industry.
