Wow! So my friend got married over a decade ago. She could not get pregnant so they tried IVF in 2016 and now she is pregnant again at 37 NATURALLY. It looks like her ovaries and uterus just needed a jumpstart. LOL.

Kaya niyo yan basta mahilig kayo sa statistics tsaka operations research hahaha sa admu ka ba nag college?

Meron nga problem sa ganyan kasi alienated yung may mga experience talaga at more qualified. Even sa pilipinas shell petroleum corporation eh meron "jet streamer" program para sa mga ganyan na prestigious school and course graduates, ang bilis ng career development nila at napapadala pa sa abroad. meron din school discrimination doon like kung grad ng non big 3 school eh need pa ng connection para makapasok, tapos bagal ng career development compared dun sa jet streamers.

PSPC does not call their management trainees as "jet streamers". It's called the Graduate Hire Program and colloquially they're called g-hires.

You start off as a Job Group 7 then ideally you exit the program as a JG5 after 3 years, much shorter than a regular hire's trajectory. Salary increases are also higher than regular hires.

Hahahaha pareho pala tayo ng tinutukoy yun nga mga SAP specialist din sa shell meron mga napadala sa london. Laki pati nung sweldo nila kahit nung dito pa lang sa local umaabot 200k per month. Saang petroleum company ka? diba sa petron parang fraternity daw at puro barako doon hahaha. At totoo din yan sobrang galante ng shell lam mo ba pinapasara pa nila buong enchanted kingdom dati para sa family day ng employees nila as in solo lang ng shell employees yung EK haha.

Sabagay sa ME matinding math aptitude talaga kailangan parang genius ang mga nandoon eh tsaka yung mga nerd talaga na palabasa yung tipong kahit anong topic o issue may kwento sila hahaha based sa mga nameet ko na students diyan. Nakaka intimidate din siguro haha ang gagaling din nila mag speech eh built for corporate executives personality nila. Pero almost everything naman eh kaya matutunan basta daanin sa will power, sa ME alam ko more on statistics diyan eh so practice makes perfect i think hindi naman ito parang art na innate talent talaga. maaring hindi kasing dali ng buhay nung mga genius pero makakasurvive pa rin yan at matututo hehe.

200k is just mid level for multinational companies, not just Shell. Including benefits, a 7-digit total package is possible if you're higher up the corporate ladder.

Also, many companies, not just Shell, can close out whole theme parks. That's not even the most expensive thing they spend on. It's common for multinationals to close out first-class resorts like Shang Boracay or Lagen in El Nido for national conventions.

As for ME, yes it's true that you can survive on sheer grit, but the mortality is still high, as only around 60% of those who start as ME graduate as ME. It's also not very heavy on statistics - just 3 units (QMT109). OR is heavier (9 units) and so is accounting (6 units). Of course it goes without saying that Math is very heavy too. Most students are forced to drop out because of Math 21/22/151, Accounting 20, or OR1 (QMT127).

How about MBA jut, have you observed if the companies you know still give credit career wise to post grad studies? Or is it just an exercise in mostly futility?

I heard from kwentos that it matters before, say, around pre or early 2000s, but do you think it still carries the same weight now?

I would say that it depends, but for the most part in a Philippine setting, it doesn't hold much weight.

I've been with several multinationals, but none of the top VPs or CEOs had MBAs. Instead of spending time on an MBA, the years and effort could be used to move further up the corporate ladder.

However, there are cases wherein a person has no business background, such as if he was an engineer handling a technical department. He can eventually lead that department, but if he wants to lead the entire organization including its sales/marketing/finance arms, an MBA might do him good by providing him with the necessary perspective and this can reflect positively on his CV when decision time for the next CEO comes.

If you ever decide to get an MBA, either AIM or an MBA abroad. Many of my profs in college who got Ateneo MBAs said that even our undergrad course was harder than the MBA, so in this day and age it's not really worth it unless you're in it for the connections. But then again, if you want higher caliber connections then a more prestigious MBA program (say, SMU MBA) gets you that.

Personally, the money I'l spend for an MBA, I would rather use as start-up capital for a business.

Yeah, I guess this somehow validates my view re MBA in PH. I've had a few MBA units in La Salle but I am not too optimistic about the prospects of finishing the program, especially coming from a business course myself.

I can see the benefits of it for the Non-BA or accounting graduates as you said but for my case it's like just going through the same undergrad course all over again with a few tweaks here and there, only this time with (let's just say) noob classmates because several of them are non biz related.

It has its share of fun though, but the cost benefit outlook may not be as rosy.
