Infographic : BBA vs MBA Infographic

A Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a two-year degree course focused on managing a business.

A Bachelor of Administration (BBA) is a four-year post grad course focused on the basics on running a business.

I’ve always been an advocate for gaining experience through ‘doing’ and not just reading and studying.

In cases such as being a doctor or a lawyer then, yes, you do need to study but for many professions, I think you learn far more by getting stuck in and doing yourself.

I can hear many screams of opposition to this theory but if I was hiring I would judge a candidates aptitude first before anything else because you can teach any skill but you can’t teach attitude.

To fly in the face of my jump-in-swim-fast attitude to life research does show that MBA graduates can earn up to 50% more in salary than their undergraduate peers.

And, I guess that is the pull for having an MBA on your CV.

The median annual salary of a chief exec is $181,210. So, I guess it’s a simple equation.
