Description:		Should I get an advanced degree? What does an advanced degree offer in today's economy? How much of a salary increase does an advanced degree offer? Is an advanced degree required to penetrate the upper levels of management? What should I consider when selecting a school or program? Our distinguished panelists will discuss the reality of today's job market and the value of an M.D., MBA, PhD and JD on your path to the VP, C and partner suite. Panelists include hiring managers from companies like Credit Suisse and Pfizer, Admissions Officers from NYU Stern and Cornell Business School, and successful recent alumni sharing how their advanced degrees did or did not affect their career path. After the panels, you can build relationships directly with Pfizer recruiters and connect with Pfizer employees from their Global Headquarters interested in meeting you and answering your questions about a career with Pfizer. This "mini-conference" on advanced degrees includes three panels, opportunities to network with Pfizer employees and recruiters, and a wine and passed hors d'oeuvres reception at Pfizer's global headquarters on East 42nd Street.
