Time to completion: 4 years?"
:-?
hehehehe i wonder how much does Bachelor Degree in QLMods/Admins earns? ;P
i know a person who's already a PhD holder at age 25!
i wonder which school he attended to?? or is it the diploma mills hehehehehe ;P
LOL Pajju
Andeee, well said. I have 7 GCEs and can do better than most of those salaries. An MBA is only useful if you use it.
I once worked with a guy who had TWO different degrees, but was still a thick idiot!
Cheru, see, I laugh too :o)
When I came to Qatar with a Degree (Bachelors)it was really difficult to get a job here (before 80)and I spent almost one year begging a job and I got the job of a Salesman where my salary was below Qr. 2000/- and at that time there was a man who was living in my flat. He did not go to the primary school. He was s Supervisor in the Navy (Cook) and he was drawing Qr. 8000 pm at that time and I was laughing at my degree certificate.
5th Place: Bachelor's of Science in Nursing
Time to completion: 5 years :(
Andee, it is true. But at the end degree is the lic. for getting job.
Having a degree does not always guarantee getting a job so I dont thing its THAAAAAAT important to have a degree... if you can afford it yes go for it but a lot of people dont have a degree and they are sitting at the top of the ladder....
What is Associate's degree in medical assisting?
Engineering is better...i forgot to take it up :(
Next is may b KG 2....THE SALARY is free milk 3 times a day and a snuggy at night...dear....i am an MBA graduate why u shodnt mention thttttt
Thank God BSN is in the list..
Any engineering degree that can be applied to the oil & gas or petrochemicals industry, I'd suggest, if you're talking Qatar-specific industries. Don't have figures to hand, but typically a four-year degree and good salaries throughout the subsequent career.
