Of cos', an MBA would be handy in getting a lecturer's job. Everyone has a degree nowadays. It's not enough. Which university would depend on your budget. Of cos' if money is not a problem U can spend $124K to take Chicago GSB's MBA. Most MBAs cost a range of $15K to $50K. So U should find one that fits your budget and will give U a reasonable return of investment. Other than price, U should also look at the no. of modules offered. Anything less than 10 subjects are what we call a mini-MBA and is not viewed very favourably by employers.

U should also decide if U wanna take an Aust, UK or US MBA. Of cos' MBAs actually originate from US. So a US MBA is more valuable but there's not many programmes in S'pore offering this. US MBA are more practical as compared to UK's which is more theoretical. If U take a US MBA be prepared to be graded based on assignments, presentations & sometimes exams. UK MBAs are mostly exams and assignments and U will have to read a lot of journals & theories. U will also have to submit 15,000 words dissertation to get the MBA. Not so sure abt Aust MBAs tho' although I would think it's quite the same style as the US one. Should also check the rankings & accreditation of these unis before U take them.

Well, not all education centres require exactly 2yrs. Perhaps to gain the experience U can start by working as teaching assts to the lecturers or as tutors and work your way up.
