Yes, I have an MBA from the OU, finished in December 05 and graduated last summer. I am engaged in paid employment, although I had the job before I completed my studies with the OU.

Yep, I was working whilst I studied. The advantage of a long train commute. I spent about 10 hours a week, for the equivalent of three years, to get a masters. www.open.ac.uk

I've been having problems job hunting as well, as expected. However, do you think you could help me get my foot into the door of modeling Lob? I always wanted to have my own top-notch, luxury VW Golf.

Good for you...ve not been that lucky.
I have a BSc and just completed Stage 1 of the MBA (was presented with Post graduate Diploma in Biz Mgt) and hoping to move on to Stage 11.
I need to find a good paying job to cope with the financial burden...though working at the moment but not relative to what i studied...
