      Foreword

      More Bucks Annually by Dr. Ken K. Wong is a wonderful new book that frankly addresses issues of business school learners around the globe. Dr. Wong has had an illustrious career as a professor, scholar, consultant in the areas of business, more specifically, in marketing; however, I know Dr. Wong as a colleague and outstanding professor to students around the globe. A major component of the life of academe is the transferrable knowledge imparted by professors to others; this book is just such a text.

      More Bucks Annually provides invaluable information to any learner choosing to pursue a higher education degree beyond the Bachelors in the area of business; however, any learner choosing to consider higher degrees would do well to explore the content of the text. The information provided on professors and their credentials, the accreditation process, the value of an online education and especially the personal assessment of who one is, their preferred learning styles, and essential questions to ask — go far beyond just a degree in business. There is a wisdom that emerges as one peruses the text. From the structure to the conclusion of the book, one feels that Dr. Wong is sharing a narrative about exploring who one is in their
