Hello everyone. I am very interested in persuing a career as a BA and I'm wondering if anyone can give me a recommendation to keep me on the correct path. Here's a breif history of my professional career:
I graduated with a bachelor's degree in economics back in 2003. Currently I am working as the operations manager in the family business. During my time here I've served as the project lead and the system administrator for the purchase, implementation and administration of our enterprise solution. About 8 months ago I went back to school to persue my MBA. As part of my MBA I am currently taking an MIS course which has opened my eyes even further to the career. My only fear with persuing the BA career is that as of yet I have no formal IT training, although I have picked up a lot of first hand experience and I feel I am fairly computer savy.
This brings me to right now. I currently have about 16 months left before I attain my MBA. My school is also discussing the idea of offering a four course study in SAP software that is ment to prepare students to take the business anyalst certification exam. I am going to seriously consider taking those courses after completing my MBA. In the mean time is there any suggestions you would make for me to continue to advance my learning and experience?
