Would You Go To Work For A Venture Capital Firm On Wall Street Or Go On For Future Education?

I know for some of you this might be a silly question, but my parents have different thought processes then me. I have an interview with a venture capital firm on Wall Street coming up and am excited about it. My parents on the other hand think I should go on to future education which I have been offered a full tuition waiver through my professor. Granite this school is not where I really want to go anyways. My professor has a lot of friends at more prestigious schools though and said to me, do you want to go to this school; I can talk to my friends there for you. One is an IVY school and the other is a close to IVY school. The thing is, this degree is not an MBA, but would give me more knowledge on the venture capital industry I am interested in. If I went to one of these schools I could potentially get into one of the IVY business schools. Or I could say these educational opportunities are of no interest to me, and I can try and make my bones at this job if I so happen to am lucky enough to get accepted after the interview. The interview will go well if they ask mostly questions about my scientific background and work experience related to their investment niches.

    A graduate program is much more valuable if you have some work experience. See if you are accepted for the job in which case you could take the job, work 2-3 years there then go to graduate school. If your professors can help you get into a good program now, they’ll be able to do it a few year from now, and you may not even need their help then.
    Before you decide on a gradaute program explore the Internet for information on available programs. There is a lot of information available in free public service sites. Some sites are limited to specific countries, such as Germany, UK, or Australia. Some list a small number of select schools, while others may include more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. You can find the program that best fits you. You can 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 type of degree (MBA, MS, Ph.D). In some cases you can select your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs.
    You can find data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees such as MBA/JD, and much more. Some sites have links to the schools’ web sites, or provide email addresses to contact schools of your choice, and send them pre-applications. You can find lists of top schools ranked by various periodicals or ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. Generally you should stay away from any sites that require you to pay to get information or that promise to find scholarships for you or ensure acceptance into a program. Before you provide any personal information to a site, be sure to read their privacy policy and make sure they are not harvesting email addresses for sale.
