thank you for yours insights
i forgot to tell you that i am a Chinese. i don't really want to work in the social sector now, but probably i'd like to be a consultant in the public area after MBA.
yes, i know MBA is not the end of career, but a top MBA is not just a degree for me, but kind like a dream when i was a freshman already had.
if i study master in business school directly, i am afraid that just to be one of millions case in MBA application.
you know, get a master degree from business school, work 3-4 years in company. So i think that wouldn't make me stand out.
but if work for RCC for one year, then study master in business school, work 3-4 in company. probably it can help me in application.
actually, the rural area in china is not so bad as yours image...and i assume that i enjoy the work helping people.
Michael,
If you would like to be a consultant in the public area, especially for China, working in rural China would help you gain relevant experience. Also, if you think you enjoy helping people, it would probably be a rewarding use of your time. When it comes time for the MBA application, it could be perceived as both adding to your community service experience as well as helping you stand out for job interviews, especially for consulting firms that are looking to grow their public sector presence.
Your proposal sounds similar to another application doing Teach for America for a year, or something similar. Those are perceived positively, as way of giving back to society. From that angle, RCC would be too. All in all, if you are committed to it, want to help people, and think you will enjoy it, I do believe your RCC experience will have multiple benefits both during and after your MBA.
