What Next After BSBA -- Odd Choices For Comparison

[adavis84]

I say hit the PMP first, then tackle Spanish.

Others will have more substantive things to to offer about the PMP's value resume-wise, but I went after the CAPM as project management certs were highly regarded in the work I used to do. Not having a bachelors is what kept me from the PMP. Incidentally, that fact is what sparked my going back to school in the first place.

There are ton of great PMP/CAPM study guides out there. I did a groupon for mine and found it very helpful (plus it provided 25 PDUs as well). If you're already in exam-smashing mode and have well honed self-study skills from finishing up the BSBA, you'll be in a very good place to tackle the PMP.

The fee for joining PMI, sitting for the test, and any study guides you may choose will certainly be cheaper than an MBA. You could always do the MBA afterward as well.

My wife is also bilingual and if/when we have kids, they will speak Spanish as well. I hope to bone-up on my Spanish before then. Once my back-to-school escapade is done, I'm going to tackle that, too!
