Depends why you want one. But I'd like to say you are never too old......especially if part time and someone else is paying.....

If given a choice, I’d go back and not pursue it. I have a MBA from a good school and find it’s overrated

Which school was that?

Executive MBA = no age limit Standard MBA = you're going to stick out like a sore thumb if you're over 35, but who really cares

No worries, you’ll not get it at that age to a good school.

I got one. If I haven't have met my wife during it I would regret it. Don't do it unless you have a very specific path in mind that requires one. From a financial and career perspective I would have been much better off saving 2 years and the money+lost wages and just bounced around a few different jobs until I found something I liked better. I would have been gaining real work experience and earning/saving money.

Is it a top 10 school? And, what is your current role? Was investment banking an option for you?

No it’s top 25 but paid for outside of living expenses. If it’s top 10 would you do it with those circumstances? And do you have an mba?

There is only one life. Do what you like. Age is just a number.

Just don't.

Thanks for the perspective everyone. I’m a Sales Manager. Thinking about best ways to advance my career. Sounds like switching jobs and companies to gain greater experience is a route I also need to consider outside of an MBA
