MBACareers.com, a career center
linking Fortune 1000 companies to MBA
candidates, has conducted a poll that brings to light the different
career aspirations of men and women coming out of MBA programs. Men
tend to want an MBA for networking potential and entrance to
entrepreneurship or corporate advancement, while women cited career
opportunity and credibility as the primary reason for getting the
degree. JillXan Donnelly of MBACareers.com comments, "There is a
significant gender gap that exists between male and female MBAs. While
a graduate business degree may be necessary to both men and women who
expect to excel and lead in the business world, women clearly view the
MBA as their badge of credibility and hope that it will help open
career doors. Men expect to hold the top leadership positions and for
women, it is still the exception."
