please help.. a quick history of myself..
i have been away from india since 17.. did my be in software engineering, ms in computer science, and working for 5 years... i am 26... I decided to come up on my own and not be dependendt on my dad.. thats why i left to be on my own.. now i have decided to get an mba.. and then get back to my dads business.. recently my dad has expanded quite a bit... and he plans to open up a new steel factory india.. its his latest venture.. he has around 5-6 businesses i could go back to when ever i want.
now the questions are:
1) PT vs FT:
PT is good, the company i work at pays for it, i get my Permanent residency in the mean time, and then I could live here or in india and try to expand business here or there depending on the situation then on how my dads new venture turns up...
FT: Make good contacts... be able to concentrate more on business education, get more knowledge.. kind of scared i wont get to learn enough because of lack of time in PT.. Finance is not an issue. I have saved more than enough to cover the expenses by myself. no help from anyone needed.
2) What type of field I need to concentrate on MBA: I was thinking of Finance.. I would like to open a finance service company back in india.. and my brother plans to get ms in finance.. so we both plan to open up a joint venture eventually with some thing in investments.. The other option I thought was Operations Management/Supply Chain Management.. That seemed to fit in with my dads business chain...
Bottom line is I am confused on the above two things.. any advice helpful! any one!

So far, FT Finance sounds pretty good. You get to focus on your business studies and you have the resources so you don't need to earn money while you are in school. If you are seriously interested in starting a financial service company, an academic background in finance is useful. At some schools, however, you will not need to pick Finance instead of SCM since they allow you to tailor your curriculum to the courses that most interest you.

thanks a lot for your answer!!!
so a quick question again.. in the essays should i mention about my future plans of opening up a financial service.. and my brother doing ms in finance and my dads business and me getting this education to go that route.. will they look down upon that, because i will return back to my country.. and not give back anything to this country? Also that I already have a business back home.. so do they think he is not going to give back anything herE?
i am not sure how these schools look into it?
