			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>If you have either a Bachelors or a Masters degree in the school of business (including Accounting, Finance, Management, Information Systems, Marketing, HR etc.) then you may want to consider enrolling in an AACSB accredited Doctorate Programme.<br />
  <br />
Currently there is a great shortage of Doctorates in the field of academia and Business schools, and its only getting worse as the time progresses.  Hence if you start your Phd or DBA from AACSB accredited university now, you are virtually guaranteed a teaching job at a University or a College upon graduation. <br />
 <br />
Teaching experience is preferred but not required, especially if you go in a high-demand field such as Finance or Accounting.  I am personally aware of a fresh Finance Phd with no teaching experience getting hired at a US university at a starting salary of $150,000 annually.  Remember, you can easily pick up some classes to teach here and there while you are working on your Doctorate.  <br />
<br />
The best part is that most full-time PhD programmes are not only FREE, they also pay you monthly &quot;salary&quot; in the range of $2000 - $3000.  The important thing you must remember is to choose an accredited university from the AACSB website for your doctorate to be accepted and taken seriously.  <br />
<br />
If you can not leave your current job, there are some options of part-time and distance-ed external doctorates as well, but typically they will cost you depending on the university.    <br />
<br />
I will be happy to answer any questions you might have.  I would also request Lucid and other people from Business academia to please contribute to this thread.</div>

<br />
Some questions I have are:<br />
<br />
How to manage the relationship since I know he is pretty busy and I want to make the most efficient use of  the time he spends to answer the questions<br />
<br />
How do you set up the ground rules for the mentoring relationship, is it the Mentors responsibility or the Protege's?<br />
<br />
What form of communication is better, face to face or email etc?<br />
<br />
I will add more as I think of more.</div>

I dont feel comfortable asking for internships etc. It just feels that I had an ulterior motive.What do you guys do. Somebody asked me then what is the purpose of networking.<br />

Give me examples of how you have done so in the past without sounding desperate.</div>

I'd like to pursue an administrative  career  in healthcare administration and am looking for any colleges/universities that offer certifications in them.<br />
<br />
I'm  not looking at the moment for a Master's degree because I'd like to get the feel of the career first and see if it is what my expectations are of it and therefore would like to do a shorter certification course or preferably an internship in it before I decide if I want to further study it at a Masters Level.........<br />

Any help from anyone in this field or with knowledge of internships here in the US would really be appreciated.<br />
