Merged: Graduates Studies in Poland in English

I was born in Poland but moved to the U.S. when i was a child, I'm 25 and finished with a business degree in the states a few years ago. Since graduating I have worked for my family's real estate business, and am now looking to get out on my own.

I'm trying to figure out what to do next and am considering graduate school in Krakow. I would greatly appreciate any advice on recommended graduate study programs. Even though i completed my studies with good scores I have some regret in deciding on a finance degree as i currently don't have a great interest in this field. I would not want to make a similar mistake again, however there may still be business degrees offered in Krakow which could prove worthwhile and interesting.

I am tempted to throw caution to the wind and pursue a more exciting and artistic study in such subjects as journalism, photography or english writing, but from what i've found so far I don't such studies are offered in Krakow in english. I am not sure if this would be a wise decision as it may be likely that after graduating I may try to start my own business and work for myself or take over the family business. This would mean that I may never take advantage of another degree in a traditional sense (seeking employment), so I am weary to enroll in another very difficult and demanding study.

I worked very hard in my undergraduate study and would like to enjoy life a little more and not pull too many more overnighters playing with calculators.

Thanks in advance for any help!!!

I guess i did not explain myself completely. I am happy and able to take on a challenging degree if it is something interesting and enjoyable. What I am trying to avoid is another degree heavy in accounting and other uninspiring studies. Also if possible I could maybe spread out a degree over a longer period of time if i find it too difficult. Finally sometimes within some universities there are certain degrees which are known to be more enjoyable, to have the most interesting professors etc etc... For example in my U.S. university, ...pursuing a degree in marketing most would agree would yield the most enjoyable academic experience for those who didn't have a determined career path.

Raj_ryder - As far as i know Krakow does not offer any marketing courses in english, and even if they did it doesn't mean it is a good choice just because it was a good choice at my U.S. university. It all depends on the professors, students and the program of course.

z_darius - I'm just looking for suggestions or recommendations from someone who may have some knowledge about the different graduate programs in Krakow.

Your right, i am interested in living in Poland more than I am in studying there, but thats only because i don't' see any degrees that really grab my attention. My Uncle is starting up a business in Gydnia which i might be a part of in the future, however, I think moving to Poland with the intention of starting a business on my own right off the bat is bit much. As for teaching english.... I'm not much of a teacher.... ;p

From my understanding I thought most of the graduate degrees in english in Poland were 2 years. 4 years would be a big commitment for sure.

I hear what your saying about humanities and finding work. I'm lucky to have something to fall back on, and i'd probably be taking grad studies more seriously if i didn't. I suppose i just really don't want to suffer through another couple years of something I don't enjoy. Unfortunately though the degrees in english that Krakow is offering at first glance don't seem too interesting or useful, but i really need to learn more about the programs.

There is no doubt I couldn't go wrong with getting an MBA in the U.S., aside from the cost...its so expensive!

Why do you recommend Warsaw over Krakow?
