Default Tuition Reimbursement...what should I take?

So,

I've decided to drop my current MBA program, and reapply in a year or two for some of the top-notch programs.

In the meantime, my employer offers $3k/yr reimbursement, so i'm looking around for some creative ideas on courses or certifications to take.

I'm mostly interested in business / internet marketing type stuff. It would also be nice if the course was related to finance or similar so my MBA application in the future could look a little nicer.

Examples I'm considering: CFA, Real Estate License, Programming Courses (web technology like php/java/etc)

Bonus points for courses with high female ratios.

The two of those are likely to be mutually exclusive.

dano-

Oh ya trust me I know. I got my undergrad degree in electrical engineering. Classes were typically 50 guys to 2 girls. And the girls were not attractive.

(A few general engineering / mechanical engineering girls were actually kind of cute though )

One of the cuter females I knew in engineering had her own saying about the classes for her: "The odds are good, but the goods are odd."

Let me also note that I'm generally pretty bad at programming, and do just enough to get by.
