Invest in Saturday

If you thought an MBA from Columbia was only a possibility for mid-twenty-somethings in finance with two years to spare, think again. Columbia’s new EMBA program is offered on Saturdays only, which means you don’t have to upend your life or break the momentum of a career you’ve put time and effort into to attain it. It’s the kind of degree that would get you that much closer to your dream job, or at least provide the network to ensure you find it.

It’s a program tailor made for busy New Yorkers (perhaps a redundancy) whose careers are just as important as their home life. All it takes to get to that next level is one day a week: Saturday. A day when, let’s face it, you might otherwise be shopping or going out to eat or catching up on DVR’ed television. (OK, so this is what we do on Saturdays.) Think of each Saturday (the program lasts for 24 months) as an investment in yourself, your career, or even your family.

And of course, lazy Sunday is still free for sleeping late, lingering brunches, and recharging for the coming work week.

It’s all about keeping your balance in New York. And in the city that never seems to stop working, where we commute from home to work to meetings back to home, blackberry in hand, looking up every so often to avoid getting taken down by a cab, it’s an important thing to maintain.
