MBA's is a qualification you do after you have been working for a good 5-10 years. So of course they hire new graduates as well. Competition is extremely fierce, and the job market is brutal in times of economic downturn. But the rewards, even for a new entrants can be huge

The qualification is not guarantee for any position.

jfs Sounds like a great course. Your life will revolve around money and fiance for the rest of your life! It will certainly be more important to you that algebra, spanish, and chemistry combined. It could just change your life, you might actually understand how money, fiance, and investment works. These life lessons I had to teach myself personally and professionally over the past 30 years! I wish I had the availability of a course to get the ball rolling. I would have made and saved a bundle! Soccerref

This is a great course, and really should be required. You shouldn't find it too hard. It's pretty basic, but will give you a great understanding of your finances and how best to maximize their benefits. If you figure that most of your schooling is focused on teaching you how to make a living, this course will give you the basic understanding you will need to be financially successful managing your money for the rest of your life.

I agree with the previous posts, this sounds like a great course to prepare you for your future. As far as the class difficulty, you may want to post this question in the education section. Regardless of the answers, paying the course fees involved would be a sound investment.

SAP is greatly in use to manage enterprise resources today, especially the HR module, in concert with the financial module. It wouldn't hurt you to take a SAP course, especially if you are planning on consulting, or working for a large corporation. (been involved in many SAP installs)
