Does an Exec MBA provide the best path to work in U.S.A.?

[biggles59]

Hi all, as a newbie here, I'm looking for some advice please...

For personal reasons, I'm looking to relocate to the U.S.A., but appreciate that these are lean & hard times...

I'm an English National and experienced professional with 25+ years in Aerospace at a mid-management level, but I lack a good network of contacts in the U.S. to help me get my foot in the door. I therefore am thinking seriously about taking an EMBA Program with a U.S. University (perhaps Chicago Booth), and I reckon that half of the cash goes towards building a decent alumni set of contacts during the study period to get me to my goal at the end.

Can anyone give me their advice on this strategy?

Thanks,

Steve
